Cline, Hart Slam
Sluggish Braves
ATLANTA (UPD—San Fran
cisco rightfielder Ty Cline
qualified for a major league re
tirement program Tuesday, but
the soft-spoken Charleston,
6. C., native has been looking
like anything but a basket case
recently.
Cline went 4 for 4 Tuesday
night, scoring twice, and left
fielder Jim Ray Hart banged
his 27th homer of the year to
lift San Francisco to its second
win in a row over the sluggish
Atlanta Braves, 4-1.
The Giants’ second victory
over the Braves put San Fran
cisco just a half-game behind
second-place Atlanta and Cin
cinnati in the National League
standings. The win gave fire
baller Gaylord Perry, who had
a five-hitter, his ninth win in 23
decisions, while knuckleballer
Phil Niekro suffered his sixth
loss in 14.
Cline, a man sold
by Atlanta for $25,000 earlier
this year, avenged his eviction
with a triple and three singles.
He singled in the third inning,

scored on Hart’s 375-foot hornet
over the left field fence.
Cline was in the middle of
things again in the Giants’ two
run fifth. Perry singled' to cen
ter, moved to third on another
single by Cline and both scored
later on a sacrifice by Bob Eth
eridge and another wild pitch
by Niekro.
“Ty hurt us, he really did,”
said Atlanta manager Billy
Hitchcock, although he was in
clined to blame the loss more
on what he claimed was Per
ry’s proficiency with the spit
ball.
“Let’s face it, until last year
when Perry started throwing
the spitter, he was a losing
pitcher in the majors,” Hitch
cock said. “Since then, he has
been tough, very tough. It gives
him additional ammunition.
Mixed in, and used as a decoy,
it makes his other pitches
tougher.”
