Hiller was superb in his fifth st-'rt of the season, allow- ing only six men to reach base. Only Bob Bailor, who leads Toronto in batting at .344, went the whole night without fanning. Two of the Blue Jays safeties were home runs. In the seventh inning, left fielder Ron Fairly spoiled Hiller's shut out bid with a one-out shot off the facing of the upper deck in right field. Steve Foucault was tip in the Tiger bullpen during .the eighth and ninth frames, when the vet- eran Hiller had been finding trouble this year. But aid was unnecessary as Hiller knocked out six of the last seven Blue Jays he faced. The one man who Hiller failed to retire in that stretch was designated hitter Doug Rader. RAder, who was fanned three times in his fourth game for Toronto, lofted a Hiller fastball over the left-center field fence for Toronto's other run. But the game was well out of reach by then thanks to timely extra base hits by the Tigers, which gave them seven runs on only eight hits. Detroit jumped on starter Jesse Jefferson for a quick one nothing lead in the first inning. Tito Fuentes beat out an infield chopper and designated hitter Rusty Staub followed with a 415 ft. double to bring home the Bengals second sacker. Jefferson then retired ten con- secutive Tigers before a Detroit explosion sent the Toronto right hander to the showers in the fifth. Bengal catcher Milt May led off with a triple to right center- just missing a home run. After Phil Mankowski flew out to cen- ter, shortstop Chuck Scrivener bounced a single through the drawn in the left side of the Toronto infield to score May. Jefferson hit Ron LeFlore with a pitch and Fuentes fol- lowed with a ground ball triple into the right field corner. Fuentes' three bagger, his fourth of the year, boosted the Tiger lead to 4-0. On the next pitch Staub knock- ed in his second run of the game with a sacrifice fly to center. i Mike Willis came into relieve nd ended the Tiger rally by forcing Jason Thompson to fly out. But the Blue Jay relief ace failed to cool down the Tiger bats,. as Detroit tagged him for single runs in both the six and seventh innings. May made up for his near miss by blasting a Willis fast- ball into the right field upper deck in the sixth. May's fifth round-tripper of the s e a s o n ballooned the Tigers' lead to six nothing. Tigers completed their Scori, after the seventh inning stretch when team RBI leader Jnsst Thompson doubled home Le. Flore, who had singled. Hiller's victory over Toront avenged two relief losses to the Blue Jays in April. In fact, De. troit has been having more than their share of problems agains the two expansion clubs, lat night's win was onl ythe Tigers third in 11 tries this year against Toronto and Seattle. The victory moved Detroi past the Cleveland Indian; iut fifth place in the AL East. The Tigers continue their brief three game homestand toltigh; against the Blue Jays. Fernando Arroyo (4-3) will take the muon for Detroit against e-Ti'er Dave Lemancyk (4-5). John Hiller DETROlT - Detroit T i g e r pitcher John Hiller, mixing his pitches well and working with a TOP PICK IN NHL DRAFT Wings draft McCourt By The Associated Press MONTREAL- High-scoring center Dale Mc- Court of the St. Catharines Fincups, selected as Canada's top player in the Ontario Hockey Asso- Blue shut out In somewhat of a surprise to Michigan hockey fans, none of the Wolverine icers were drafted into the National Hockey League in yesterday's amateur draft. Last year's Michigan team finished as runner-up in the NCAA tournament. Graduating seniors included Michigan's all-time leading scorer Kris Manery, whose brother, Randy, an ex-Wolverine now plays with the Atlanta Flames. ciation Major Junior League, was selected yes- terday by the Detroit Red Wings as No. 2 in the National Hockey's League's amateur draft. THE RED WINGS obviously liked what they saw in McCourt-and McCourt is delighted-. Th'e 5-foot-10, 180-pounder from Sudbury, Ont., had 60 goals and 79 assists in 66 games with St. Cath- arines this season. He finished his OHA career with a record 477 points on 194 goals and 283 assists. "I have often thought about playing in the NHL," McCourt said from his home in Sudbury. "All I could do was wait for this day and now it is here." McCourt said he had been told by the Red Wings Monday that he would be the No. 1 choice in the draft. And he added he was not considering any offers from the rival World Hockey Association. The Colorado Rockies, drafting second overall, selected defenseman Barry Beck from the New Westminster Bruins of the Western Canada Hockey League. The Washington Capitals then took de- fenseman Robert Picard of the Montreal Juniors of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. NFL bosses decide. Miami'79 Supersite Op The Assoeiated P rM NEW YORK - The NFL yesterday awarded the 1979 Super Bowl to Miami's Orange Bowl and the 1980 game to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., Commissioner Pete Rozelle announced. NFL owners, gathered at their annual summer meetings, heard eight Super Bowl site presentations before making their decision. Besides Miami and Pasadena, bids were received from Seat- tle, Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans (site of the 1978 game, Dallas and Pontiac, Mich. Super Bowl XIII at the Orange Bowl will be played Jan. 21, 1979, and Super Bowl XIV at the Rose Bowl, which hosted the 1977 game between Oakland and Minnesota last January will be played Jan. 20, 1980. Earlier, Rozelle issued assurances that future Super Bowls and playoff games would remain on home television. "We're planning to continue our past patterns of telenast- ing," he said. There had been reports that the owners would consider an offer by West Coast promoter Bill Sargent, who reportedly was willing to'pay up to $400 million for the rights to all post season games for the next five years. Those games would then be shown only on closed circuit theatre screens. But Rozelle killed that rumor. 1flajorLeaue tatodiuug.- A.EIttCAN LEAGUE East W L Pet.
