ST Sports. Wednesday, June 9, 1982 MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP Page 16 The Michigan Daily Lemon leads Tigers past Indians By BUDDY MOOREHOUSE Special to the Daily DETROIT- The Detroit Tigers, ever in search of a quality fourth starter, got some much-needed help from Pat Un- dewood last night. The Tiger lefthander held the Cleveland Indians at bay while his teammates were putting on an of- fensive show, as Detroit notched an 8-3 win over the Indians. Underwood pitched eight strong in- nings before yielding to Dave Tobik in the ninth, scattering nine hits to up his record to 3-3. THE WIN keeps the Tigers in first place in the American League East. Last night's game was the first of 25 straight contests against East Division opponents. Chet Lemon was the hitting hero for Detroit, treating the 21,380 fans at Tiger stadium to two home runs, his third and fourth of the year. Lemon's first blast landed in the left field lower deck in the third inning, and his second was a solo shot to right field in the eighth. Mike Ivie had a home run in the second inning to give Detroit a 1-0 lead. Cleveland came back with two runs in the third, and another in the fourth, but from then on it was all Detroit. THE TIGERS tallied for three runs in the bottom of the fourth off Cleveland starter and loser Rick Sutcliffe (4-2). Alan Trammell knocked in Lance Parrish with a single to score the first run of the inning, and Enos Cabell knocked in the other two runs with his only hit of the night. The Tigers scored two more in the seventh as Mike Ivie walked and came home on a triple by Larry Herndon. Herndon then scored on a wild pitch by Sutcliffe, giving the Tigers a 7-3 lead. Herndon continued his red-hot hitting pace with a two-for-three night. The Tigers got an insurance run with Lemon's homer in the eighth, and Tobik shut down the Tribe in the ninth to preserve the win. The two teams close out their three- game series tonight with a twi-night doubleheader. Angels 11, Blue Jays 4 TORONTO (AP)- Bob Boone keyed California's four-run fourth inning with a two-run double and Reggie Jackson smacked his eighth homer of the season as the Angels snapped a seven-game losing streak last night with an 11-4 win over Toronto. The Angels, trailing 3-1, erupted with four hits and four runs in the fourth. FRED LYNN reached on an error and moved to third on Bobby Grich's single. RBI singles by Doug DeCinces and Tim Foli tied it at 3-3 before Boone scored both runners with a double down the third-base line. Geoff Zahn, who was roughed up for three runs in the first inning, raised his record to 6-2 in going the distance. Pirates 7, Mets 3 NEW YORK (AP) - Don Robinson, celebrating his 25th birthday, allowed New York just three hits over 7% in- nings and drove in two runs, leading the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-2 victory over the Mets last night. The only hits off Robinson, 6-1, were a fourth-inning single by John Stearns and an RBI single by Rusty Staub and run-sebring double by John Stearns in the eighth. Robinson walked four and struck out seven before needing relief help in the eighth from Kent Tekulve, who gained his seventh save. Phillies 5, Cubs 2 PHILADELPHIA (AP)- Right- hander Marty Bystrom, pitching for the first time in nearly a year, scattered five hits over eight innings and Gary Matthews hit a two-run homer as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated Chicago 5-2, handing the Cubs their ninth straight defeat. Bystrom, who has been troubled with shoulder problems since last season, was making his first appearance since June 9, 1981. BYSTROM, WHO was activated on Monday, struck out three and walked two before needing relief help from Sparky Lyle in the ninth. 4 Lemon ... two homers 4 THE SPORTING VIEWS Frieder nabs the best ... ... but he can't see them MIL- By JIM DWORMAN Coach Frieder, you did a good job. While the rest of us were wondering if Michigan's basketball team would ever beat a Division I team last winter, you went out and suc- cessfully recruited five high school players who might someday make people wonder if the team will ever lose again. Now, the NCAA won't let you do your job. Association rules prevent you from seeing any of your prize catches for a few more months. But no rules stop me, so last Friday when two of your recruits, Paul Jokisch and Roy Tarpley, and several Michigan high schoolers, whom you didn't get, were on display ina game against the Indiana All-Stars, I did the scouting for you. Here's my report: Jokisch-The 6-8 forward from Birmingham Brother Rice was by far the most intense player on the court. He battled for rebounds, challenged otherwise uncontested lay-ups and held his ground and took charging fouls. His intensity was most noticeable when he was caught on the short end of some questionable fouls-Jokisch slammed his hands together in disgust.. . But best of all, Frieder, he displayed a nice shooting release and 17-foot range, something which was noticeably absent from last year's set of Wolverine forwards. To his discredit, though, Jokisch seemed a step behind the Indiana players and his shot was a fraction off, but let's excuse those shortcomings since he hadn't played in almost a month. Tarpley-The tallest player on the court didn't dominate the backboards quite the way he should. One flaw in his rebounding that you should correct, Frieder, is that he tips the ball off the glass instead of grabbing it. That's fine on the of- fensive end of the court, when he tips:the ball into the basket, but not in the backcourt, when he tips the ball to his opponent. Of course, the 6-10 center also tipped away a few Indiana shots and his long arms also threw up a pair of Jabbar-like hook shots. One went in, the other missed, but it was nice to see some inside scoring potential. Patrick Ford (Michigan State)-Jud Heath- cote's going to suffer for a while if he tries to play the 6-5 Detroiter at guard. Ford isn't a dribbler. He didn't show it, anyway. But he can fill the basket in a hurry. Ford glided through Indiana defenders on several occasions for lay-ups or short jumpers. He should play small forward in college. Mark Harris (Western Michigan)-Here's where you showed your best judgement, Bill. Harris looked like the best player on the court in the last two state championship games at Crisler Arena, but in an All-Star setting, playing against players of equal or better talents, he looked terrible. The only thing higher than his vertical leap was his dribble-shoulder-level. The only good thing to say about him is that, with the excep- tion of Jokisch, Harris is the best dunk shot artist in pre-game practice. Anthony Watson (San Diego State)-It's obvious why you were interested in this thoroughbred, Frieder. Watson moved to the hoop with grace and fluidity. His shot looked pretty good, too. He and Eric Turner would have been a good team in the backcourt. Ricky Buttrom (Eastern Michigan)-A bull un- der the basket, Buttrom grabbed every rebound within his reach. On the offensive boards, the 6-8 forward was persistent, putting the ball up and up again until it went in. He'll make his presence felt in Ypsilanti's Bowen Field House. Marty Embry (DePaul)-I hope for Ray Meyer's sake that he develops some agility. Rather than go around the Indiana defenders, Embry chose to go through them. The referees didn't like that too much. Embry got into early foul trouble and never asserted himself. I don't think he'll amount to much. After all, there aren't any pig-tailed basketball players that I know of in the NBA. Ralph Walker (Michigan State)-Shades of Leo Brown. Walker spent most of his time on the bench and rarely touched the ball on the court. Ben Tower, Derek Perry and Kevin Willis can rest easy. Walker will sit on Michigan State's bench, too. Kenny Webb (Northern Michigan)-At 6-5, Webb will make a good Division II forward. He'll probably score 10 or 12 points when Northern meets the Wolverines next season, but he'd never be able to score a dozen for them. Gordon Bonaparte (Schoolcraft C.C.)-Small players have to be excellent players to compete in major college basketball. Bonaparte, 5-10, unfor- tunately, didn't make the cut. He was the last man off coach Rocky Watkins' bench and understan- dably so. All in all, Frieder, it looked like you got the cream of Michigan's high school crop. Buttrom and Watson would be welcome additions, but I guess you can't win them all. Neither could Michigan's all-stars. Indiana's best, who will attend such schools as Mississippi, Hawaii and, of course, Indiana, crushed ours, 117- 103.
