wish him well in the future.

The Cub carnage began after
Houston starter Dave Roberts,
5-3, had routinely retired Rick
Monday and Glenn Beckert on
ground balls. After Billy Williams
singled, A s t r o third baseman
Dave Rader bobbled Ron Santo's
grounder to open the gates.

zone each stroked two-run singles
involved four walks, a hit bats-
man and a wild pitch. The Cubs
loaded the bases five' times
against Roberts and relievers
Jim Ray and.Cecil Upshaw.
Rader also contributed an 11th
unearned run with a bad throw
in the third, while Hector Torres'
error at short led to a pair of
unearned runs in the Cub

Chicago's Rick Monday belted a
solo homer, and Houston's Jesus
Alou and Tommy Agee hit back-
