Davis, Rose reach 2,000
By United Press International
Willie Davis and Pete Rose
joined baseball’s 2,000-hit club
Tuesday night, but Rose has a
much more exclusive club in
mind for the future.
Davis, a 33-year-old center
fielder for the Los Angeles
Dodgers, made his 2,000th
career hit a big one as he
stroked a two-run homer in the
sixth inning to help the Dodgers
down the Atlanta Braves, 3-0.
“I was kind of planning on a
homer,” said Davis, now in his
14th season with the Dodgers.
“People won’t believe it, but I
didn’t want the 2,000th hit to be
a fluke. A hit is a hit, but a hit
like this leaves no doubt.”

Stu accepts
CHICAGO (UPI) - Stan
Bahnsen, one of three Chicago
White Sox players who refused
to sign 1973 contracts, reached
agreement with Stu Holcomb
Tuesday and accepted the
terms offered by the club.
The amount of the contract
was not disclosed although
previous reports said that
Bahnsen had expected a $30,000
raise.
Bahnsen had been playing
under the terms of a clause in
his 1972 contract which was
invoked by the Sox when he did
not sign by March 10.
' The two players still unsigned
by the Sox are outfielder Rick
Reichardt and infielder Mike
Andrews.
Hendrick slams
3 home runs
By FRED DOWN
UPI Sports Writer
George Hendrick was unim
pressed during the 1972 World
Series when told that Manager
Sparky Anderson of the Cincin
nati Reds said he resembled
Bobby Thomson.
“Who,” asked the Oakland
A’s centerfielder, “is Bobby
Thomson?”
The 23-year old Oakland A’s
centerfielder, who was traded
to Cleveland last March, is
unlikely ever to achieve the
fame of the man who hit the
most dramatic home run in
baseball history but Tuesday
night he joined a rather select
group of about 100 players
when he hit three homers in
leading the Indians to an 8-7
victory over the Detroit Tigers.
Hendrick had two chances to
become the 10th player to hit
four homers in one game but
had to settle for a walk and a
game-winning, ninth-inning sin
gle.
It developed that Hendrick
was even less impressed and
communicative with his perfor
mance than when Anderson
compared him to Thomson.
“I don’t have anything to say
to you guys,” he snapped when
reporters gathered around him
in the Cleveland clubhouse.
Then he turned, dressed and
left the clubhouse without
another word.
Red Sox Defeat Brewers
The Boston Red Sox defeated
the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-4 and
4-1, in 11 innings, the A’s beat
the Kansas City Royals, 11-6,
the New York Yankees shaded
the Baltimore Orioles, 5-4, the
California Angels topped the
Chicago White Sox, 3-1, and the
Minnesota Twins whipped the
Texas Rangers, 7-3, in other
American League games.
National League scores were
Pittsburgh over Chicago, 4-3,
after a 6-3 loss, Philadelphia 6
New York 1, Montreal 3 St.
Louis 1, Houston 7 San Diego 3,
Los Angeles 3 Atlanta 0 and
Cincinnati 4 San Francisco 0.
Hendrick, who’ll probably
find himself being called the
“Duane Thomas of baseball,”
hit solo homers in the first,
fourth and sixth innings. He
walked in the eighth and then
delivered his game-winning
single with two out in the ninth.
A single by John Brohamer, a
sacrifice, a walk and an
outfield fly set the stage for
Hendrick’s single which ena
bled the Indians to break a six-
in the fourth inning helped the
Dodgers to their fourth win in a'
row and ninth in the last 12
games. Tommy John, with
relief help from Pete Richert,
went seven innings to register
his sixth victory in nine
decisions.
Rose, a 31-year-old outfielder
for the Cincinnati Reds, joined
the select circle with three
singles and a double in five at
bats as he helped the Reds to a
4-0 victory over the San
Francisco Giants. Rose, who
finished the night with 2,001
hits, has set 3,000 career hits as
one of his goals—a plateau
which has been reached by only
11 players in baseball history.
“When I came up I never
yesterday by blanking Moose 5-
0 on the no-hit pitching of Bubba
Andrews.
Andrews struck out 15 and
walked four while pitching his
no-hitter.
Mark Gilreath and Leslie
Brown backed up Andrews’ fine
pitching with home runs. Brown
also singled as did David
English and Lester Ranew.
Mark Stewart was Moose’s
starting and losing pitcher.
Bobby Higgins worked in relief.
They allowed five hits, struck
out seven and walked four.
Kiwanis beat Exchange Club
10-9 in the continuation of a
game that had been called.
Both teams had only two hits.
Mike Chapman was the
winning pitcher and Willie
Gault the loser. Gary Peurifoy
also pitched for Kiwanis.
Victor Perdue and Gary
Perdue had hits for Kiwanis and
Dana Williams and Mark
McGee hit safely for Exchange.
game losing streak.
The Indians had tied the
score on John Ellis’ two-run
eighth inning homer following
the walk to Hendrick. The three
homers raised Hendrick’s sea
son total to 13. Charlie Spikes
also homered for Cleveland
while Norm Cash and Dick
McAuliffe connected for De
troit.
Throwing errors by Frank
Linzy and Tim Johnson enabled
the Red Sox to score the tie
breaking runs in the ninth
inning of the Boston-Milwaukee
game and Carlton Fisk’s two
run homer capped the rally
which ended the Brewers’ 10-
game winning streak. The Red
Sox swept the doubleheader
when Rick Miller tripled in two
runs and scored another in the
11th inning of the second game.
Marty Pattin and John Curtis
were the winning pitchers.
Eight Victory in 10
The A’s scored their eighth
victory in 10 games by rallying
for six runs in the eighth and
ninth innings against the
Royals. Sal Bando tied the
score with his second homer of
the game and Mike Hegan
singled in the lead run for the
A’s as Horacio Pina earned the
win with 3 2-3 innings of shutout
relief. Gene Garber was the
loser despite John Mayberry’s
18th homer of the year.
Consecutive run-scoring dou
bles by Thurman Munson and
Gene Michael climaxed a three
run fourth inning and sparked
the Yankees to their triumph
over the Orioles. Graig Nettles
homered and Michael drove in
another New York run. Sparky
Lyle picked up his 17th save,
tops in the majors, while Doyle
Alexander suffered his third
loss against five victories.
Wilbur Wood, now 14-6,
suffered his fifth loss in his last
six decisions when pinch-hitter
Winston Llenas hit a three-run
homer in the seventh. Bill
Singer pitched a six-hitter for
the Angels, allowing the White
Sox’ run in the fifth on a walk,
Bill Sharp’s single and Allan
Gallagher’s error and raising
his record to 11-3. Wood was
tagged for nine hits in 6 1-3
innings.
Rod Carew stretched his
hitting streak to 18 games and
George Mitterwald hit his fifth
homer of the season for the
Twins as Jim Kaat scored his
eighth win. Jim Bibby went
seven innings for the loss in his
AL starting debut
even thought of getting 1,000
hits let alone 2,000,” said Rose,
now in his 11th season, “but
now I’m thinking about 3,000.
My goal now is to bat .300 for
10 years in a row and get 3,000
hits.”
Rose’s hot bat helped Fred
Norman to his second straight
shutout since coming over to
the Reds from the San Diego
Padres last week. Norman
allowed only three hits posting
his third victory in 10 decisions.
In other NL action, Houston
whipped San Diego, 7-3, Phila
delphia downed New York, 6-1,
Montreal topped St. Louis, 3-1,
and Pittsburgh beat Chicago, 4-
3, after losing, 6-3.
