Dodgers destroy Phillies; Kansas City evens series
Kansas City’s Willie Wilson comes up short while attempting to score in the
seventh inning. Nevertheless, the Royals went on to pound the Yankees, 10-4.
Booters stumble to 2-0 victory over Rams

Winning isn’t necessarily synonymous
with playing well.
Anyone who attended last night’s
soccer game at Jeffrey Field could tell
you that much. The ninth-ranked Nit
tany Lions did the expected and sent the
Rhode Island Rams down in defeat, 2-0,
but they weren’t exactly impressive
doing it.
“Nobody was moving. We were doing
everything wrong,” Penn State forward
Jim Stamatis said. "I don’t want to take
anything away from them, but we
certainly didn’t play as well as we could
have.

to talk about that one.” “We played badly,” Henni said. “We
That sub-par play was more evident in
the opening period. The Lions played
most of the first half on Rhode Island’s
side of the field and more than 18
minutes had elapsed before they had
their first serious shot on goal.
“We played too slow again,” State
coach Walt Bahr said. “I don’t know why
we are taking a team like this and
playing so sluggish.”
Geza Henni, Rhode Island’s coach,
wasn’t pleased with his team’s play
either. The Rams’, now 1-2-2, only
record of nine shutouts last year, posted
his fourth of the season against the
Rams while making ten saves.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Steve
Garvey slammed two home runs,
tripled, drove in four runs and scored
three times, powering the Los Angeles
Dodgers to a 9-5 victory over the
Philadelphia Phillies last night in the
opening game of the National League
championship series.
The second game in the best-of-five
playoff will be Thursday before the
series moves to Los Angeles for Game 3
Friday night.
In addition to Garvey’s thundering
bat, Davey Lopes crashed a two-run
homer and Steve Yeager, starting his
seventh game since July 1, hit a solo
shot. In all, the Dodgers rapped 13 hits
off four Philadelphia pitchers in this
rematch of last year’s playoffs.
While Los Angeles’ power hitting
made a gray, rain-threatening night
more miserable for 63,460 rabid Phillies’
fans, rookie Bob Welch, in relief of
starter Burt Hooton, pitched 41-3 innings
of two-hit, one-run ball and gained credit
for the victory.
. The only hits off Welch came in the
bottom of the ninth, a leadoff home run
by pinch-hitter Jerry Martin and a single
by Larry Bowa.
The Phillies, champions of the East
Division, took a 1-0 lead in the second
inning on a triple by Greg Luzinski and
Mike Schmidt’s sacrifice fly. But the
advantage lasted only until Los Angeles
came to bat in the third.
didn’t pass the ball well and we were too
complicated. In the second half we were
tiring and we just couldn’t move with
them. But Penn State is a good team,
too.”
The Lions showed an inkling of that
ability with 33:33 gone in the first period
when Ray Patrick scored his first goal of
the season. It went by Rhode Island
goalie Gonsales Rico, starting his first
game in goal, after two of Patrick’s
teammates had failed to get shots by
him.
“The only thing getting the record
means is that the other team didn’t have
a good chance to score,” Gallagher said.
“I was up for the game, though. It’s nice
to get your name in the record books,”
Gallagher had aired opinions on the
record weeks before the actual deed was
done. .
“The shutouts are more of a credit to
the defense unless it’s against a really
good team, then the goalkeeper gets
some credit,” he said.

After Hooton led off by striking out
against Phillies starter and loser Larry
Christenson, Lopes doubled to the left
field wall. He took third when Bill
Russell’s routine grounder went through
Schmidt’s legs at third base for an error
and scored the tying run on Reggie
Smith’s single.
That brought up Garvey, the Dodgers’
iron man who has played in 511 con
secutive games. He sent a 1-2 pitch over
the left field fence for three runs and a 4-
1 Los Angeles lead.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Freddie
Patek, the smallest regular in the major
leagues, walloped a two-run homer and
Kansas City rode the pitching of Larry
Gura and two relievers to a 10-4 victory
over the New York Yankees yesterday in
the second game of the American
League championship series.
The victory tied the best-of-five
playoff l-l, with Game 3 scheduled for
Friday at Yankee Stadium.
Patek’s homer into the left field
bleachers came during a three-run
seventh inning, when Kansas City broke
open the game. That uprising was
punctuated by a near-fight on the field
and confusion among players and um
pires about the number of outs in the
inning.
The Royals had staked Gura to an
early 5-0 lead, knocking out Yankees
starter Ed Figueroa with a four-run
“This guy for the last year played only
one game,” Henni said. “But he’s a good
goalie, you could see that tonight. He
doesn’t give up many goals.
“But the first goal was a big mistake
on our part. The goal-keeper didn’t
throw the ball out of the net when he had
a chance. It he would have, it would have
been a different story. ’ ’
The game was the same story in the
second period a different chapter in
the same story, but the same story. The
Lions came out more aggresively, but
were only able to get one more shot past
Rico. That score came at the 33:19 mark
of the second half when Stamatis drilled
in an unassisted goal.
No one will deny, though, that
Gallagher is an awfully good goalie who
has just tied an awfully impressive
record a record which stood for 40
years.
Fortunately for the current edition of
the Penn State soccer team, Gallagher is
intact and likely to stay that way.
And with seven regular season games
remaining, it seems likely too that his
name will soon stand alone as the career
shutout record holder.
