The Michigan Daily-Saturday, October 8, 1977-Page 9 Royals beat Yanks; Dodgers nip Phils By The Associated Press KANSAS CITY -- Hal McRae, who in- furiated the New York Yankees in the second game with two controversial slides, destroyed them with a pair of doubles that paced Kansas City to a 6-2 victory last night and a 2-1 lead in the American League championship play- off. . Dennis Leonard pitched a masterful four-hitter for the Royals' second vic- tory in the best-of-five series, leaving Kansas City only one triumph away from its first World Series. Amos Otis, angered by a lineup swit- ch that benched him, delivered a clutch two-run pinch double that supplied the Royals' wrapup runs, but it was the two-base hits by McRae that dug the hole from which the Yankees never emerged. McRae, whose 54 doubles during the regular season was the highest total for any American League player in 27 years, lashed leadoff two-baggers in the Daily Photo by JOHN KNOX A ood year to be No. 1 Michigan reserve linebacker Bob Hollway felt like telling everyone in Ann Arbor his vote for thge number one team in the nation, including those who hovered above, during last Saturday's action against Texas A&M.

McRae had been credited Thursday night with awakening the Yankees by his aggressive slides into second base- man Willie Randolph and shortstop Bucky Dent. But Leonard put the Yainkee bats right back to sleep with a powerful performance. He was in con- trol throughout. After Roy White doubled in the first inning but was out trying to stretch his hit, Leonard retired 12 Yankees in or- der, and by the time New York put another man on base, Kansas City had a lead it would never surrender.
