MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Tigers slip past Rangers, 4-3
By BOB WOJNOWSKI
DETROIT - The Detroit Tigers
pushed across the lead run in the bot-
tom of the eighth inning without the
benefit of a hit, and Dave Rozema (2-0)
pitched three innings of two-hit ball to
lead Detroit toa4-3 victory over Texas
last night.
Chet Lemon started the winning rally
with a leadoff walk off Texas reliever
Danny Darwin (2-1) and advanced to
second on a sacrifice bunt by Enos
Cabell. The Rangers then intentionally
walked Kirk Gibson to set upa potential
double play, but the strategy backfired.
LARRY HERNDON chopped a
grounder to short, forcing Gibson at
second, but the ex-Michigan State foot-
ball star took out second baseman Doug
Flynn with a rolling block,causing Flynm
to throw the ball into the dugout and
allowing Lemon to chug home with the
winning run. Flynn lay motionless for a
period of time before being revived and
left the field under his own power.
The Rangers jumped on top early in
the game as centerfielder George
Wright led off the first inning with a
home run. But the Tigers rallied with
three runs in the fourth inning sparked
by Lance Parrish's third home run of
the year.
After the Parrish clout, John
Wockenfuss walked and scored all the
way from first as Tom Brookens lined a
double down the leftfield line. Brookens
also scored when shortstop Mark
Wagner threw the relay past catcher
Jim Sunberg.
: Texas came back to tie on a fourth in-
ning RBI single by Wright and on a six-
th inning home run by Pat Putnam off
Tiger starter Larry Pashnick.
The Tigers managed only four hits-of
starter Frank Tanana but were the
beneficiaries of three Texas errors, two
of them by ex-Tiger Wagner.
The loss was Texas' tenth straight
while the Tigers upped their record to
15-9.
Indians 6, Angels 5
CLEVELAND (AP) - Catcher Bill
Nahorodny, playing in his first game
since being called up from the minors,
doubled twice and drove in two runs as
the Cleveland Indians beat the Califor-
nia Angels, 6-5, last night.
The doubles by Nahorodny, a five-
year major league veteran who began
the year at Charleston, were two of
seven hits by the Indians to support the
combined eight-hit pitching of Lary
Sorensen and Dan Spilner.
Sorensen, 2-1, picked up the win,
yielding nine hits and three runs in 7 2-3
innings. Spillner recorded his second
save.
California starter Geoff Zahn, 4-1,
gave up eight hits, including five
doubles in 51-3 innings.
Mariners 4, Orioles 3
BALTIMORE (AP)- Center fielder
Al Bumbry was charged with an error
on Jim Essian's run-scoring single in
the ninth inning, allowing a second run
to score and giving the Seattle Mariners
a 4-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles
last night.
Singles by Todd Cruz and Joe Sim-
pson launched the rally for the
Mariners, who snapped a three-game
losing streak, against reliever Sammy
Stewart, 2-2. Manny Castillo was
retired on a liner to right for the second
out, but Essian followed with his single
to center, scoring Cruz. Bumbry
couldn't handle the short hop, allowing
Simpson to score from first by the time
he retrieved the ball.
Gene Nelson, 1-4, held Baltimore to
four hits before he was relieved with
two out in the ninth by Ed Vande Berg,
who earned his second save.

John Humenik, the Sports Infor-
mation Director at Michigan since Sep-
tember of 1980, resigned his position
last week. Humenik's resignation
followed similar action by his assistant,
Gregg Burke. Humenik's resignation
was believed to be prompted by un-
specified conflicts within the athletic
department.
Humenik, 30, was the Sports Infor-
mation Director at Princeton Univer-
sity before taking the post at Michigan.
He replaced Will Perry who was ap-
pointed the Assistant Athletic Director,
a position he still holds.
HUMENIK, A graduate of Clarion
State College (Pa.), has worked in spor-
ts information since 1972, working first
at his alma mater and then in 1976
taking the assistant sports information
directorship at Princeton. He won
numberous awards for publications at
Princeton and the 1980 Michigan foot-
ball program, which was co-edited by
Humenik and Perry, was judged the
best in the nation that year by CoSIDA
(College Sports Information Directors
of America).
Humenik apparently has no new job
lined up and will remain at Michigan
to finish up the pre-season football
preparations. Burke, meanwhile, will
become the Sports Information Direc-
tor at his alma mater, Holy Cross.
It is not known when Athletic Direc-
tor Don Canham will announce the
replacements.
