The Michigan Daily-Sunday, October 8, 1978Page 9 DODGERS DEDICATE GAME TO GILLIAM: Nettles bobbles New York Yankee third baseman' Graig Nettles bobbles a ball off the bat of Kansas City Royal Frank White in the second inning of last night's AL playoff game. Nettles was more of a hero than a goat last night, however, as the Yankees clin- ched a berth in their third straight World Series. He recovered on this play in time to throw out White at first. Then, in the bottom of the second, Nettles homered off Royal starter Dennis Leonard to stake New York to a 1-0 lead. The best of seven World Series between the Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers begins next Tuesday night in L.A. Russell By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES-Bill Russell, a clutch hitter all season, singled home the pennant-winning run with two out in the last half of the 10th inning yester- day, giving the Los Angeles Dodgers a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies and the National League flag. "What Philadelphia reliever Tug McGraw started me out with was a slider because they know I'm, a good first-ball, fastball hitter," said Russell. "Then he tried the slider again, he jammed me and it was a good pitch, but I was able to hit it." HE HIT IT FOR the single to give the Dodgers the best-of -5 NL championship series three games to one. It is the second year in a row the Dodgers have won the pennant; they beat the Phillies by the same margin in last year's championship series. The only reason Russell came to bat was a misplay by usually reliable cen- ter fielder Garry Maddox, who dropped a sinking line drive by Dusty Baker with two out and Ron Cey on first base. That error kept the Dodgers alive and brought up Russell, who hit .286 during the regular season. THE DODGERS dedicated the game to their veteran coach, Jim Gilliam, who lies in a coma at an Inglewood, Calif., hospital after suffering a srpwt cerebral hemorrage on Sept. 15. "We did it for The Devil," Manager Tom Lasorda said, using Gilliam's nickname. Cey, who scored the winning run, commented: "Russell has been a very clutch hitter all year for us and we wouldn't want any different guy up there." RUSSELL SAID he didn't care whether the Dodgers play the New York Yankees or Kansas City Royals in the World Series. "We're here now, and 0 that's the important thing," he said. "We're tired of being second-best." The shortstop referred to World Series losses to Oakland in 1974 and the Yankees last year. And of Russell's winning hit, which the center fielder tried to scoop and throw to the plate, Maddox said, "It was a do-or-die play. You come in as hard as you can. You've got to scoop it up and hope you can make a throw." But Maddox didn't scoop and there was no throw. ns title -4z- Th ®' AI J0IL TIME for BELL S OQ delicious pizza and grinders S.

Te eshortstop's hit off southpaw reliever Tug McGraw gave the defen- ding NL champion Dodgers the pennant [second year in' a row and was Russell's third hit of the game. Tied 3-3 after nine innings, Dodgers eliever Terry Forster retired the hillies on one hit - a single by Larry owa in the top of the loth. Then McGraw got Reggie Smith and Steve Garvey in the bottom of the frame before Cey walked, and Dusty Baker was safe when the goat of the game, center fielder Garry Maddox, dropped his short fly in center field. With the runners on first and second, Russell slapped his clean single over second base. The ball went through Maddox, but even if he had fielded it, Cey would have scored. The crowd went wild, thronging onto the field. The World Series starts at Dodger Stadium Tuesday evening against the American League cham- ~pion. McGraw, the fourth Philadelphia pit- cher in a game punctuated by home runs in the early innings, took the loss. The left-handed Foster, the third Dodgers hurler, gained the victory. Forster struck out Mike Schmidt to open the 1th inning before Bowa singled to right. Maddox was called out on strikes, then Greg Luzinski, who hit a home run earlier, grounded to Russell, who tagged second to force Bowa for the final out of the inning. Smith led off for the Dodgers and flied to Maddox before third baseman Schmidt threw out Garvey. Cey walked, and it appeared the inning was over as Maddox came in after Baker's fly. But the ball glanced off his glove, keeping the Dodgers alive for the blow by Russell. He had been a tough out all season for the Eastern champions. Cey's 390-foot homer to left tied the score 2-2 in the fourth. Garvey, on a count of one strike and one ball, belted his fourth homer of this championship series over the left field fence. It was the sixth time he had homered in championship series com- petition, breaking the record of five held jointly by Sal Bando and Reggie Jackson of the American League. It also was the 12th run scored by Garvey in NL championship com- petition, bettering the mark of 11 by Cincinnati's Pete Rose. Guidry tops Royals, 2-1 NEW YORK - Veteran Roy White, often overshadowed on a club of high-salaried stars, ripped a tie- breaking home run in the sixth inning, while Ron Guidry and Rich Gossage pitched the New York Yankees a 2-1 victory over Kansas City last night. The Yankees won the American League pennant for the third year in a row. Graig Nettles also homered for the Yankees, who capped an amazing comeback from 14 games behind at midseason to capture their 32nd AL flag with a 3-1 triumph in the best-of-5 series. The Yankee, having disposed of the Royals in the playoffs for the third straight year, will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in baseball's 75th anniversary World.Series beginning Tuesday in California. New York managed only four hits against Kansas City pitcher Dennis Leonard, but two of them went for the distance. Nettles, leading off the second inning, erased an early 1-0 Royals lead with the third AL playoff homer of his career. He tagged a 1-1 pitch, driving it into the area beyond the right-center field fence just in front of the bleachers. The shot brought a shower of paper from the capacity Yankee Stadium crowd of more than 56,356, who had seen the Royals nick Guidry for a quick run in the first inning. The New York ace, who logged a major league-leading record of 25-3 including nine shutouts during the regular season, gave up the run before many of the fans were set- tled in their seats. George Brett, hitting star of the series for the Royals, followed his three-home run performance of Friday with p leadoff triple off the right-center field fence on Guidry's fourth pitch of the game. When it left Brett's bat, the ball looked like it might be another homer. But it fell short of the fence by a few feet. Two pitches later, the Royals had their run when designated hitter Hal McRae cracked a single up the middle. It was the third consecutive time in this playoff that the Royals had scored in the first inning, and each time, the run was carried home by Brett. On the first pitch after his RBI single, McRae stole second. Guidry then struck out Amos Otis and got Al Cowens on a popup before walking Darrell Por- ter. But he retired John Wathan on a long fly to right field, escaping further damage. After Nettles tied the score in the second, Leonard and Guidry settled in- to an impressive pitching duel. The Yankee left-hander eased his way out of a two-on, two-out jam in the fourth. -COUPON- 2 for 1 Special -COUPON- Bu Y1 Super Salad-GET 1 FREE I Coupon good Sunday, October 8 I through Thursday, October 12 NOT AVAILABLE FOR CARRY OUT Longvity Cookery 314 E.
