Carew Beat Hitter,
Worst Base Runner
By VITO STELLINO
I PI Sports Writer
Rod Carew Is currently
•baseball’s best hitter but he
also may be the game's worst
baserunner.
However, Minnesota Twins'
Manager Billy Martin was mild
In his criticism of Carew’s
latest baserunning blunder since
It scored the deciding run in the
Twins' 4-2 victory over the
Baltimore Orioles Tuesday
night in a rhubarb-filled game
between the two division
leaders.
Carew, leading the majors
with a .408 average, hit a shot
to right center in the eighth to
score Cesar Tovar and tie the
g.imo 2-2. Carew should have
been satisfied with a triple
since there were none out and
Harmon Killebrew and Tony
Oliva were the next two hitters.
But Carew gambled and
stretched his hit into an inside
fl - -nark homer that was the
deciding run even though
Killebrew anti Oliva followed
with long files to center that
would have easily scored Carew
if he'd stayed at third.
Just Beat Tag
Carew slid into home, Just
beating the tag of catcher Ellie
Hendricks even though Hen
dricks protested vigorously.
The biggest agrument came
in the top of the eighth when
Frank Robinson scored on a
short passed ball to snap a 1-1
tie.
Pitcher Dave Boswell put the
tng on the sliding Robinson and
umpire Larry Barnett raised
his arm in the out call. But as
Robinson slid in, he knocked
Boswell over and the ball fell
out of his glove and Barnett
changed his sign to safe. The
Twins protested b”* Barnett
