DETROIT- The huge crowd that
showed up at Tiger Stadium last night
was expecting to see Round Two of the
beanball war which started last week
between the Detroit Tigers and the
Chicago White Sox.
What they saw instead was an ex-
citing come-from-behind rally by the
Tigers which fell short at the end, as the
White Sox held off Detroit, 8-5.
AS 38,006 vociferous fans looked on,
the Tigers rallied from a 5-0 deficit to
score four runs in the eighth.inning. But
three Chicago runs in the ninth proved
to be too much for Detroit to overcome
as the Tigers could only pick up one run
in the bottom of the last inning.
As for the much-ballyhooed beanball
confrontation the fans were expecting,
only one batter was hit by a pitch.
Detroit's Chet Lemon caught a ball on
his leg in the ninth as the crowd heartily
booed Chicago pitcher Salome Barojas.
White Sox starter Lamarr Hoyt, who
admitted he purposely threw at Tiger
shortstop Alan Trammell last Sunday,
let his fastball do the talking last night.
Hoyt held the Tigers scoreless until he
was relieved by Kevin Hickey in the
seventh inning. Hoyt picked up the win
to up his season mark to 6-0.
Detroit starter Jack Morris was hit
hard by the White Sox, giving up four
runs until Dave Rozema took over in
the fifth. Morris suffered'the loss and
saw his record drop to 4-3.
CHICAGO CHIPPED away at the
Tigers through the first six innings,
picking up three runs on solo home
runs. Greg Luzinski knocked one out of
the park in the fourth, and third
baseman Jim Morrison, sporting a .180
batting average entering the game, ac-
counted for two solo round-trippers in
the fifth and sixth innings. Chicago ad-
ded another run in the fifth and one in
the second to take a 5-0 lead into the
eighth inning.
The eighth inning started off innocen-
tly enough for the Tigers with a Lemon
single followed by an Enos Cabell
strikeout and a line drive by Kirk Gib-
son which was speared by White Sox
shortstop Bill Almon. that's when the
fireworks began for Detroit.
Designated hitter Mike Ivie, playing in
his first game as a Tiger, drew a walk
and singles by Richie Hebner and Larry
Herndon drove in two runs. After Lou
Whitaker walked to load the bases,
John Wockenfuss lined a single up the
middle to drive in two runs. But pinch
hitter Ed Miller struck out to end the.
Tiger threat.
The White Sox picked up three runs in
the ninth inning, thanks primarily to a
triple by Harold Baines.
In the bottom of the last inning, Ivie
singled in Cabell for the Tigers' final
run. Then with the bases loaded and
one out, Herndon struck out and
Whitaker popped a foul ball to ex-Tiger
Aurelio Rodriguez to end the game.
The game also marked the return to
Detroit in a White Sox uniform of Steve
Kemp, who was met by a mixed chorus
of boos and cheers.
