Giants outfielder Jack Clark
hits winning homer in ninth
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -
When he’s playing regularly,
rookie San Francisco Giants
outfielder Jack Clark is just an
other typical mild-mannered
ballplayer.
But as a pinch-batter, Clark
turns into superman, batting
.500 with nine hits in 18 at-bats,
three home runs and eight runs
batted in.
“I wish I could explain it,”
said Clark after his run-scoring,
pinch-double with one down in
the bottom of the ninth lifted the
Giants to a 3-2 victory over the
Atlanta Braves Friday night.
“I wish I knew what it takes to
National League Roundup
Pirates and Phillies game
looked like hoekey contest
By BARRY WILNER
AP Sports Writer
It seemed more like a hockey
game involving the Phila
delphia Flyers than a baseball
contest with the Phillies.
But Friday’s fight-filled game
in Pittsburgh was played on a
diamond with bats and balls,
not on ice with sticks and pucks.
The Pirates rallied from a 7-3
deficit to defeat the Phillies 8-7
on a bases-loaded walk to Jim
Fregosi in the bottom of the
ninth but much of the action
took place between the mound
and home plate. Two separate
brawls in which three Phillies
were ejected highlighted the
contest.
One out after Pittsburgh hurl
er Bruce Kison surrendered a
two-run homer to Garry Mad
dox to put the Phils ahead 4-3 in
the seventh, Kison plunked
Philadelphia slugger Mike Sch

fastball. Schmidt took offense to
being hit and headed for the
Detroit defeats
Chicago in rain
By TOM CANAVAN
AP Sports Writer
It was another night for the
birds in Detroit, but Mark ‘The
Bird’ Fidrych got his tail salted.
The usual “Bird Watching”
crowd of 45,993 showed up at
Tiger Stadium Friday night ex
pecting to see Big Bird fly. What
they got instead was a tornado
warning, a torrential rain storm
and a 10-7 defeat at the hands of
the red-hot Chicago White Sox.
Fidrych delivered 97 pitches
in just 5-2-3 innings and gave up
11 hits and six runs.
“I just didn’t have it,” last
year’s American League
Rookie of the Year said.
It marked Fidrych’s second
straight disappointing outing.
He lost to Baltimore July 4,

added Clark who is batting .225
with five homers and 23 RBI
when he’s not coming off the
bench.
Vic Harris walked with one
out in the ninth and stole second
base. Loser Phil Niekro, 8-10,
walked Marc Hill intentionally
before Clark delivered his
game-winning blow.
“I’m probably a little more
aggressive as a pinch-batter,”
Clark explained. “I’m up there
looking for a guy’s best pitch. I
watched Niekro’s knuckler for
eight innings and that’s what I
got.”
mound, where he threw a
roundhouse right that missed
Kison. Both benches emptied
and Schmidt was ejected.
After Schmidt’s punch missed
its target, massive Phillies’ out
fielder Greg Luzinski tackled
Kison and Pirates catcher Ed
Ott, a former high school foot
ball star, tackled Schmidt.
In the bottom of the eighth,
hostilities erupted again when
Tug McGraw hit Willie Stargell
on the shoulder. Stargell headed
for the mound and both benches
emptied again. No punches
were thrown and McGraw and
Philadelphia Manager Danny
Ozark were ejected.
The Pirates tied the game
with a four-run rally in the
eighth keyed by run-scoring
singles by Ott, Phil Gamer and
Dave Parker.
Elsewhere in the National
League, Cincinnati topped
Houston 8-5, Chicago edged St.
Louis 7-8, Montreal took a 54
decision from New York, Los
when he also was unable to get
through the sixth inning.
Jorge Orta led the White Sox
attack against Fidrych as he
drove in five runs with two sin
gles and a double as the Ameri
can League West-leading Sox
won their eighth consecutive
game.
After the 1:15 rain delay, the
Sox jumped on Tiger relief
pitcher Jim Crawford for four
runs in the seventh. Lamar
Johnson opened with a double
and scored on Spencer’s single.
Soderholm then singled and
Bannister walked to load the
bases. Orta followed with a
bases-clearing double to give
the Sox a 16-5 lead.
Steve Kemp’s hit his 11th
home run of the season for the
Tigers.

Niekro offered no excuses. “I
was having trouble with the
knuckler early. But then the
wind helped me after that. But I
got one up to Clark and he hit
it.”
Reliever Gary Lavelle, 64,
blanked the Braves in the ninth
for the victory. He took over for
starter Jim Barr, who pitched
eight strong innings before his
right knee stiffened.
Bill Madlock opened the first
with a single, stole second and
scored when first baseman
Willie Montanez made two er
rors on the same play giving the
Giants a 1-0 lead.
Angeles beat San Diego 5-3 and
San Francisco defeated Atlanta
3-2.
Reds 8, Astros 5
George Foster slammed his
24th homer and knocked in his
80th run this season in the Reds’
triumph. Foster’s 80 RBI have
come in 80 games, a pace that
doesn’t impress the Cincinnati
star very much.
“There’s no special feeling
about having 80 RBI in 80
games,” said Foster. “I did it
quicker this year but the main
thing is to go out there and help
the team win.”
Cubs 7, Cardinals 6
A three-run eighth inning ral
ly brought the Cubs from behind
against St. Louis. The eventual
winning run scored on Cardinal
second baseman Mike Tyson’s
throwing error but the key play
of the inning was a balk call
against St. Louis reliever Clay
Carroll.
Carroll came on with the
bases loaded and one out and St.
Louis ahead 54. With a 2-2 count
on Manny Trillo, third base
umpire Bruce Froemming
called a balk on Carroll and the
tying run crossed the plate.

Montanez redeemed himself
with his 12th homer, a two-run
shot in the third. Darrell Evans’
single, Gary Thomasson’s walk,
their double steal and Harris’
run-scoring grounder produced
a 2-2 tie in the sixth.
Barr, who retired 15 in a row
after the homer, said he had no
alternative but to abandon his
three-hitter after eight innings.
“It’s been bothering me for a
couple weeks now,” said Barr.
“It’s a strain behind the knee
and, if I keep pitching on it, it
becomes more aggravated.”
