But in the eighth, Brett,
the American League batting
champion, gave Kansas City
a second life with a home run

gles by Al Cowens and pinch-
hitter Jim Wohlford.
An inning later, the Royals

Buck Martinez stroked his third
hit of the game and Cowens
walked. Wohlford hit a shot to
third base that Graig Nettles
grabbed on a short hop and
fired to second. Umpire Joe
Brinkman called Cowens out on
an exceedingly close play.
If Brinkman had called Cow-
ens safe, it would have brought
up Brett, the Royals' most ef-
fective hitter in the series. But
the out call ended the inning
and the Royals hoped Brett
could get his swing in the 10th.
But, because of Chambliss,
that 10th never came.
YANKEE'S FIRST baseman Chris Chambliss limbers up before hammering his game win-
ning solo home run in the bottom of the ninth of last night's American League Playoff game.
The blast broke a 6-6 tie and gave New York the pennant.-
