SPORTS Page 12 Tuesday, June 18, 1985 4 The Michigan Daily Late Red Sox rally downs Detroit, 3-2 By ADAM MARTIN Special to the Daily DETROIT - The Boston Red Sox proved why they're the hottest team in baseball last night at Tiger Stsdium. Kept in the game by the superb pit- ching of second-year starter Al Nip- per, Boston rallied in the eighth and ninth innings, scoring three runs to. take sole possession of second place in the AL East with a 3-2 victory over the Tigers. DETROIT starter Dan Petry made the Red Sox look like dead sox through eight innings before Tiger manager Sparky Anderson called for Rolaids relief ace Willie Hernandez with two out and Glenn Hoffman on second in the eighth. However, Hernandez looked anything but sharp, walking Steve Lyons and giving Wade Boggs a line single to left that scored Hoffman. After walking Jim Rice, Hernandez retired the side, but the Boston wave returned in the ninth. Mike Easler knocked a leadoff single and right- fielder Dwight Evans carved a Her- nandez fastball over the fence in rightfield, giving Boston a 3-2 lead. The Tigers went quietly in the ninth. Detroit made the game look like a noisy homecoming in the first when Sweet Lou Whitaker smacked a Nip- per fastball into the upper deck to 4 open the contest. Hot hitting Darrell Evans made it 2- 0 in the fourth, scoring on a Nelson Simmons single after Evans had singled to open the inning. But Detroit looked puzzled throughout. Lance Parrish fanned four times while Her- nandez proved mediocre in his one and one-third innning stint. 4 I Associated Press Detroit shortstop Alan Trammell prepares to tag out a sliding Marty Barrett in action from last night's Tigers- Red Sox game.

THE SPORTING VIEWS 85th U.S. Open... 4 --I 1--l-~ ... a rough LOOK By JOE DEVYAK Here are some personal observations from the 85th U.S. Open at Oakland Hills. Detroit's national image, which was so deeply scarred by last year's World Series celebration, got a much needed shot in the arm. The people of the Birmingham area and the members of the country club bent over backwards to put on a good show. Never acting impatient or snobbish, which could've been expected, they were helpful to all that came to the event. You could see the pride in their smiles. As long as I'm on the subject of snobs, I might as well expose the real ones. There were many people in the gallery that had obtained free passes from one member or another and who seemed to think they they were somehow better than anyone else. Many had chips on their shoulders and nine times out of ten the person you heard com- plaining behind you was someone who had gotten in on a freebie.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound Overall, the 85th Open has to be considered a negative. This tournament was BIG and it was success. I'll be the first to admit this, but I also handled flawlessly and with a great deal of class think there were three areas that were lacking: by all those involved. I just wanted to shed some 1.
