DETROIT - Reggie Jackson
and Billy Williams drove in four
runs apiece, three each with
home runs in a nine-run Oak-
land fourth inning, to lead the
A's to a 16-4 drubbing last night
of the Detroit Tigers to com-
plete a sweep of their twi-night
doubleheader.
Oakland, behind Glenn Ab-
bott's three-hit pitching and a
seven-run sixth inning, clobber-
ed Detroit 11-0 in the opening.
THE 27 RUNS by the A's were
the most for them in a double-
header since they began keep-
ing records in 1963.
The A's assault on Tiger
pitching became so embarrass-
ing in the second game that
many in the Tiger Stadium
crowd of 29,089 booed derisively
when Bill North grounded out
to end the A's six-run sixth in-
ning.
After a bases-loaded triple by
Phil Garner in the inning, many
fans chanted, "We want Mar-
tin. We -want Martin." Billy
Martin, fired Monday as man-
ager of the Texas Rangers, was
a big favorite when he was
fired as Tiger manager in 1973.
Abbott, a 6-foot-6 right-hand-
er, was making his first start
since being recalled from the
minors June 4. He had been sent
down to Tucson May 20 after
faltering, following victories in
his first two starts of the season.
GENE TENACE knocked in
three runs for the A's with a
third-inning homer off starter
Tom Walker, 7-9, and a two-
run single in the seven-run sixth
inning. Sal Bando singled in a
pair of runs in the sixth while
the others were knocked in by
Bill North, Claudell Washington,
and Billy Williams.
Larry Haney belted a two-run
homer in the ninth for Oakland,
his first of the season.
Abbott struck out eight bat-
ters in raising his record to 5-2.
Alomar action
CHICAGO-Sandy Alomar hit
three doubles-one of them pro-
ducing two runs in the fourth
inning-and Bobby Bonds added
two doubles to lead the New
York aYnkees to an 11-6 victory
over the Chicago White Sox last
night.
Catfish Bunter, 13-9, outlasted
Jim Kaat, 14-7, despite a three-
r'sn homer by Pat Kelly in the
fifth inning. The fifth-inning runs
were unearned-as the reesult of
an error by Hunter.
THE YANKEES scored two
runs in the second inning when
Lou Piniella - walked and went
to third on a single by Graig
Nettles. Chris Chambliss singled
home the first run of the game
and Fred Stanley singled Nettles,
across.
In the fourth, Nettles was hit
.by a pitch, Chambliss singled
and Alomar doubled both run-
ners home. Bonds followed with
a double, scoring Alomar, but
was out trying to stretch it into
a triple.
Boston beans
BLOOMINGTNO, Minn.-Carl-
ton Fisk's third-inning single
scored the runs that sparked the
Boston Red Sox to a.5-4 victory
over the Minnesota Twins last'
night.--
Fisk's single capped a three-.
run third inning which propelled
the Red Sox to a 5-0 bulge.
BOSTON rookies Fred Lynn
and . Jim Rice colloborated on
the first run in the second in-
ning. Rice tripled off the center
field fence to score Lynn, who
had walked. Rice later scared
on Rico Petrocelli's single up
the middle.
11-0,
Rod Carew slammed his 11th
home run of the season with
Jerry Terrell aboard in the
sixth to start Minnesota's come-
back.
Busby buzzes
MILWAUKEE - Vada Pinson
and Buck Martinez hit solo home
runs and -Paul Splittorff pitched
Kansas City out of trouble in the
eighth inning last night, helping
the Royals hold off the Milwau-
kee Brewers, 3-2, in the first
game of a twi-night double-
header.
Steve Busby carried a seven-
hitter and a 3-1 lead into the
eighth, but Milwaukee scored a
run on consecutive singles by
Don Money, George Scott and
Wednesday, July 23, 1975
16-4
Mike Hegan with one out to

Ryan routed
BALTIMORE-The Baltimore
Orioles bombed Nolan Ryan for
six runs in 1% innings, two on
a home run by Tommy Davis,
and handed the California ace

beating the Angels 8-3 last night.
