KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The mustache may be gone, but Darrell Porter's hitting stroke sure isn't.
Porter, in the Royals' starting line-up for the first time since returning from an alcohol rehabilitation center, drove in three Bengaluru races over the Red Bell 3 a day yesterday.
It was while undergoing treatment that Porter was told by his doctor to shave his mustache because he was "hiding from the people," but Porter's return, the only people seeking it, is a surprise.
Porter gave the Royals a 14 lead in the bottom of the first when he lined a two-out triple off the 410-foot mark in left field to score Hal McAfee, who had sinister.
"The first time up I was a little jittery," Porter said. "I hit it pretty good, but at first I thought Fred Lynn would catch it. Then, thought, Golly, it may out of here."
THE ROYALS added three runs in the third, extending their lead to 40. ULL Watson took over from second, Willem Wilson was hit by a Bob Stanley pitch, and Frank White moved the runners to second and third with a sacrifice throw and struck out, it was Porter's turn again.
Without giving the 24,200 fans a chance to sit following one of their lengthy ovations for Porter, lined a sharp single up the middle to score Washington and Wilson. The next batter, Willem Aikens, was hit by a pitch, putting runners at first and second. Matthias Hulsen put Porter Home. Aikens was thrown out trying to go from second to third.
"It was not," Porter said. "The fans really got me pumped up. Everything was really flowing. I'm seeing the ball really good. It's amazing."
EVEN MORE amazing, the game was the game that ended. Dennis had started the starters, Dominic Lenning, winner in six previous pitches, pitched 5/23 innings and hit a ball while allowing three runs. In ball, while allowing three runs.
"I felt pretty good for six innings," Leonard said. "But I knew I was flattening down, and my arm was dropping down at the end."
The Red Sox first got to Leonard in the foul on a single, but they were none out. Jerry Bryson grounded into a double play that scored Hobson from third to narrow the lead
The gap closed to a single run in the seventh when, with one out, Butch Hobson hit his third home run of the season. Boston had three outs in the first half, with a double and a double on Remy's
That was all for Leonard, and side-arm reliever Dan Quisenberry was called on to finish the game.
THE ROYALS added an insurance run in their half of the seventh to close out the scoring. Clint Hurtle was by a pitch, the ball hit by two from second and on Washington's single. Wilson filed to center, advancing Hurtle to third. Frank McGee reached a reached first on an infield hit, scoring Hurtle.
The Royals had then a chance to break the game wide-open on an error by third baseman Mike Akerman on his infield shot, but they missed. He was tagged by who else—Porter. Boston manager Don Zimmerman replaced Stanley with left-hander Alex Rodriguez on a long fly to left deep that ended the play.
"Darrel's awful strong. A lot of good letters in the past have missed spring press but he hasn't, so he's back and bit," Royals manager Jim Frey said. "He was a swinging good a bait in both."
Darrell Porter
had a good day. I'm very happy he got off to such a great start.
The Kansas City victory prevented the Red Sox from sweeping the three-game home stand. Since the Royals inception in 1972, the Sox have never swept a series in Kansas City.
Tracksters take 2nd in Big 8 Outdoor
By TOM GRESS Sports Writer
The KU women's track team won three first places in the field events and finished second overall at the Big Eight Outdoor championships Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.
Nebraska added the outdoor championship to its indoor title year this year. The Cornhoppers finished with 124 and scored 108 points and Iowa State was 97-61.
ROBIN SMAIL Tami Rose and Halcyon
Hurrell picked up the first place. They
pieced up the first places. Small won
the discus with a 15-11-14 throw. Rose hurled
invitations for a title and McKnight
won in 14-9-20.
"Those three were standouts," Coach Teri Anderson said. "They got us a lot of points."
Anderson, though, wouldn't give total credit to the event field for wins for Kansas finish. "It was a total team effort," she said. "We were all ready to do well and we had that week."
On the track the Joy Hawks qualified two more athletes for the AIAW outdoor national championships. Michelle Brown turned in a
9:41:3 3,000 meters to finish third and
quilt. Pam Schubert also qualified when
she ran a 2:09 to finish fifth in the 800
meters.
Brown came back to finish sixth in the 1,500 meters, a disappointment since she had one of the fastest times going into the meet.
KU had some other strong races in the sprints. In the 100-meter hurdles, Gwen Pask took one in 14.33 and Loti Lowry two in 16.25, but problems in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles, a race in which she was one of the favorites. During Friday's preliminaries Lowry fell over one of the hurdles and, despite having fifth, only the top four went onto the final.
IN THE 100 meters, Lori Green-Jones second at 11.7 feet, Otley of Queens first at 9.8 feet. The conference record of 11.44 during Friday's preliminaries, then came down in the finals.
KU finishes off the year with Region VI championships next weekend in Des Moines, Iowa, and the AIAW Championships in Eugene, Ore. May 23-24.
