Braves lose
6-5 in 11
MONTREAL (UPI) - Atlan
ta Braves’ manager Clyde King
tasted the fruit of a rare
successful protest when the
Braves beat the Montreal
Expos, 5-4, in the completion of
a suspended game.
But the taste turned sour
later Sunday as the Expos won
the day’s regularly scheduled
contest 6-5 in 11 innings.
On May 15, King had seen a
4-1 lead taken away from his
team when the umpires called
a Braves-Expos game in the
bottom of the fourth inning on
account of rain.
King protested that the
umpires acted too hastily, and
National League President
Chub Feeney upheld the pro
test, ruling that the game
should be resumed from the
bottom of the fourth with the
Marshall up to his
‘lron man’ tricks

Even another astonishing
iron-man performance by Mike
Marshall hasn’t been enough to
enable the Los Angeles Dodgers
put much of a dent in the
Cincinnati Reds’ imposing lead
Robinson,
Davis draw
praise
GREENVILIJ2, S.C. (UPI) —
Rookies Brad Davis, a running
back from LSU, and Jimmy
Robinson, a flanker from
Georgia Tech, continued their
impressive play Sunday as the
Atlanta Falcons engaged in a
35-minute scrimmage.
Davis ran five times for 50
yards and earned the attention
of Coach Marion Campbell.
“That Brad Davis runs really
hard,” said Campbell.
Robinson, the 165-pound Tech
speedster, made two spectacu
lar catches for 53 yards before
rain halted the scrimmage
early.
Calling the session a “good
solid workout,” Campbell also
praised the offensive line. “We
had some hitting,” he said.
“Our offensive line was coming
out well and at times the pass
protection was very good.”
With the veterans reporting
to camp Sunday night, Camp
bell made room by releasing 14
rookie free agents.

Braves leading 4-1 rather than
being replayed from the start.
“It paid for me to object to
the umpires’ decision,” King
said. “It’s the first time that I
can remember a protest being
upheld.”
Phil Niekro, who had started
the May 15 game, picked up
where he left off and earned his
ninth victory against seven
defeats with last out relief help
from Max Leon.
“I had a three-run lead going
into this game, and I felt I
could get the win,” said Niekro,
who had pitched six innings in
New York Friday night.
“That’s why I asked to pitch
again today.”
Darrell Evans and Dave May
had each hit two-run homers
May 15 to give the Braves then
first four runs. Sunday, Clar-
in the National League’s
Western Division.
Marshall, whose brilliant
performances in a record 106
appearances last season,
earned him the NL’s Cy Young
Award, was in virtual “retire
ment” part of this year when
he was sidelined with an arm
ailment.
But he’s back at the old
stand, coming out of the
bullpen now and has a streak of
10 consecutive relief appear
ances—only three shy of the
major league mark he set in
1974.
The trouble is that, despite
Marshall’s heriocs, the Dodgers
have won only four of the 10
games and are still 11 1-2
games behind the Reds.
Marshall pitched shutout ball
for three innings in the
Dodgers’ 5-3 12-inning triumph
over the Chicago Cubs Sunday
and picked up a full game when
the Philadelphia Phillies defeat
ed the Reds 11-4.
The St. Louis Cardinals swept
a doubleheader from the San
Diego Padres 3-1 and 10-2, the
Pittsburgh Pirates scored a 7-1
victory over the New York
Giants after a 2-1 loss, the
Montreal Expos won 6-5 after
losing to the Atlanta Braves 5-4,
and the New York Mets
outslugged the Houston Astros
10-9, in other NL games.
In the American League, it
was Oakland 5 Baltimore 2,
Detroit 7 Kansas City 3,
Cleveland 10 California 4,
ence Gaston singled home what
proved to be the winning run in
the fifth inning.
In the regularly scheduled
game, Pete Mackanin singled
home Tim Foli with the
winning run in the bottom of
the 11th inning to give reliever
Fred Scherman his first win as
an Expo and his first victory
since Aug. 7.
The Braves had tied the
game 5-5 in the ninth inning
when Evans singled to score
Ralph Garr.
Braves’ starting pitcher Ray
Sadecki had two RBIs, but had
to be relieved when he gave up
three runs in the sixth. The
Expos got a fourth run in that
inning and took a 5-4 lead in the
seventh.
Chicago over Milwaukee 9-2
and 10-5, New York over
Minnesota 14-2 and 5-4, and
Boston split a twinbill with
Texas, beating the Rangers 3-2
after losing the opener 10-5.
Marshall’s powerful pitching
was rewarded with his sixth
win of the season when rookie
John Hale hit a two-run homer
with two out in the 12th. Bill
Buckner had four straight hits
for the Dodgers who handed
Tom Dettore his third defeat
against three wins.
The Phillies stretched their
winning streak to four games
as Mike Schmidt drove in four
runs with a single and his 19th
homer. Rookie Tom Underwood
went five innings for his 10th
win with Gene Garber pitching
the last four. Clay Kirby,
tagged for four runs in 2-3
inning, suffered his fourth loss
compared with seven victories
for the Reds.
Cardinals 3-10 Padres 1-2
Ron Fairly’s two-run double
with two out in the 11th lifted
the Cardinals to their victory in
the opener at San Diego and
gave reliever Al Hrabosky his
seventh win. Mike Tyson drove
in four runs and Buddy
Bradford knocked in three as
the Cardinals won the nightcap
behind the five-hit pitching of
John Curtis.
Giants 2-1 Pirates 1-7
Ed Halicki pitched a two
hitter and started a two-run
San Francisco rally in the
eighth inning with a double
leading the Giants to their first
game triumph over Jim Rooker
and the Pirates. Richie Zisk’s
10th homer keyed a five-run
Pittsburgh eighth in the night
cap which brought Ken Brett
his sixth win and Mike Caldwell
his 10th loss.
Braves 5-5 Expos 4-6
The Braves won a protested
suspended game started on
May 15 with Darrell Evans and
Dave May each hitting a two
run homer and Phil Niekro
went 8 2-3 innings for his ninth
win. The Expos gained a split
when Pete Mackanin singled in
Tim Foli with one out in the
bottom of the 11th inning of the
11th inning. Mackanin and
Larry Parish each had three
hits for the Expos in the second
game.
Mets 10 Astros 9
Dave Kingman, who drove in
six runs in the game, hit a two
run homer in the eighth inning
as the Mets rallied from an
early 7-1 deficit. The homers
were the 17th and 18th of the
season for Kingman. Tom Hall
earned his second victory with
2 2-3 innings of shutout relief
while Bob Watson drove in four
runs with two bases-filled
doubles for the Astros.
