KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Rudy Law scoreed on a fielder's choice with two out in the 10th innning Wednesday night and won against Kansas City 84 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Law led off with a single off Dan Quisenberry, 5-3. Law stole his 59th base of the year, despite a pitchout by the Royals, and was sacrificed to third by Carlton Fisk. After Quisenberry intentionally walked Harold Baines, Ron Kittle grounded in U.L. Washington forced Baines at second but Kittle beat the relay to first to avoid the double play and allow Law to score.
Rich Dotson, 14-7, notched his sixth victory in his last seven starts. He scattered eight hits over nine innings to beat the Royals for the first time since May 9, 1981. Dennis Lamp got the final two outs for his 10th save.
Chicago took a 2-0 advantage in the second. Vance Law singled in one run and eventually scored on a single by Julio Cruz.
The Royals tied the score 3-3 with a run in the eighth. Willie Aikens doubled just inside third. John Wathan ran for him and scored on a single by Amos Otis.

Jerry Hairston gave the White Sox a 3-2 lead with his fifth homer, a blast to right off Gaylord Perry in the sixth.
Pat Sheridan scored on Hal McRae's third-inning hit for the Royals and Akens had an RBI single in the fifth twing the score, 2-2.
The loss, which was the second to the White Sox in three days, dropped the Royals to nine games out of first place and the Twins with only four weeks left in the season.
The Royals needed a sweep of the three-game series to have a realistic chance at capturing the division.
Home plate umpire Dale Ford and Kansas City catcher Don Slaughter watch as Chicago's Mike Squires tumbles over home last night during a squeeze play in the second inning. Squires was called out. The White Sox defeated the Royals, 3-2, dropping Kansas City to nine games out of first place in the American League West.
Elvis Patterson leads KU's 'Nasty Dogs' defense
By JEFF CRAVENS Associate Sports Editor
The play starts as a sweep around the left end, but No. 32 in the blue jersey quickly sheds a blocker and plants his helmet squarely in the chest of the running back.
The 10 other defenders instantly swarm the tackler.
On the sidelines, the other defensive players start bowline like a crazed group of coyotes.
"Way to go Elvis, show 'em how the Nasty Dogs play."
Elvis is Jayhawk defensive end Elvis Patterson, and the "Nasty Dogs" is the nickname for the KU defensive squad.
"The NASTY DOGS is really just a name," Patterson said. "We got a particular name, and it kind of us goes us going. We're playing with emotion of loves and the field. The whole rolling together."
Patterson is one of the leaders of this grizzly group. He was switched from cornerback, the position he played his first three years at KU to defensive end in the wide-tackle six defensive

It's similar because on some plays, I have to go out and hold up the wide-outs," Patterson said. "It freees me up and gives me a chance to play football and make things happen."
no problem.
"I try and use my strength to my advantage." Patterson said "People can't take me for granted because of my strength."
AT 3-FOOT-10, 190 pounds. Patterson is one of the strongest defenses playing on the line in major college football. However, he is one of the strongest Jayhawks, bench pressing more than
No one took advantage of Patterson in the spring game. Patterson, who had only been playing defensive end for about a week, was the offensive player of the game for the first team defense.
"ELIVS IS A NATURAL for this position.",
defensive coordinator Ron Zook said. "He's as strong as an ax so he can take on people, and he can run like a deer for pass coverage.
"This has been a big play position for us in the past, and there's no reason why it won't be this"
This fall, Patterson said the defense is trying to turn things around from the disappointing result of the attack.
"What happened last year was we got to the point where we were all down a little bit." Patterson said. "Nobody likes that type of feeling."
The new defensive staff, headed by Zook, also has had an important hand in turning the defense around. Patterson said.
"I think we can win this year. We are starting to believe in each other; that the other guy can do the job, too."
"Our whole coaching staff is very emotional."
"THEY TAKE PRIDE in what they are doing.
They give us that extra bit of enthusiasm. Last
The defensive players are also sticking together to keep everyone motivated, Patterson said.
"Everybody's going to have a bad practice, but it's the people that pick you up when you're down that really help."
Patterson has set an example for the rest of his teammates, Zook said.

"He's doing his part as a senior," Zook said.
"He's not a guy that talks a lot, but he shows leadership by do it."
PATTERSON'S ABILITY and physical attributes will probably make him a prospect in either the NFL or the USF1, but he said that, that was the farthest thing from his mind right now.
"That comes with time," Patterson said. "Right now, it's the Nasty Dogs and the team first. If the Lord is willing for me to go on and play, then I will."
"Right now I think we're ready to play aggressive and have fun, and that's what I think the fans want to see. We're trying to better ourselves in everything."
JAYHAWK NOTES — The Jayhawks run through a scrimmage yesterday with the first team winning. 24-0 Tailback Kerwin Bell broke a 70-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. For the scrimmage, Bell carried three times for a touchdown, tailback Garfield Taylor ran twice for 50 yards.
In the first quarter, quarterback Frank Seurer hit Taylor for a nine-yard touchdown pass, and Darren Green scored on a 25-yard flanker reverse.
The only other score was on a 46-yard field goal by Bruce Kallmeyer.
"There were no injuries, and that's good because we're low on numbers anyway." Coach Mike Gottfried said. "All four backs ran well, and made sure that one guy was in there too long."
Chiefs acquire backs from Cowboys, Giants
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo — The Kansas City Chiefs yesterday acquired running backs Lawrence Ricks and John DeGrattio in separate trades with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants for undisclosed future draft choices.
The Cowboys followed Ricks following a career at Michigan where he finished as the school's fifth all-time leading rusher with 2,731 yards and 24 touchdowns on 54 injuries. His offshoot was the Big Ten's second-leading rusher and the ninth-leading rusher in the nation.
Ricks, a native of Chiefs' Coach John Mackievich's hometown of Barberon, Ohio, carried the ball just once in Dallas' first three preseason games.
DeGrattola, a 5-foot-11, 227-pound fullback, has carried the ball three times for eight yards and caught two passes for nine yards in the Giants preseason. Also a special teams player, DeGrattola signed with the Giants as a free agent last spring. He tried out with the football Steelerers in 1882 and was released on the final roster cutoff prior to the regular season.
DeGrattola, a native of New Castle, Pa., was a four-year letter-winner at Westminster College (Pa.).
Lockwood sees defense as key for'83 squad
By JANELLE MARTIN Sports Writer
Bob Lockwood, in his sixth year as head coach at the University of Kansas, looks for the KU volleyball squad to mature with playing experience and be among the defensive leaders in the Big 8 this season.
The volleyball team begins a season of 13 matches and five tournaments on Sept. 8 against the University of Oklahoma at Kansas City and St. Louis University.
But with a couple of weeks of practice behind the 13-member squad, Lockwood knows what to expect from his players.
Lockwool will be looking for leadership from last year's three power hitters, seniors Lori Erickson and sophomore Lydia and sophomore Susan Runf.
Erickson, a second team All Big Eight performer last season, returned in excellent shape for the season, Lockwood said.
Loyd was a powerful middle blocker and team leader, along with Rupf on last year's squad.
The squad should benefit from intra-squad practicing with the help of last year's players, Lockwood said. Junior Beth Vivian and senior Jake Yankey start-time starters, are vying for a full-time starting position on this year's team.
Lockwood's squad is young this year though, with only four seniors. Serious injuries have stayed away from the KU squad so far this season, he said.
Sheri Erickson, an Allen County Community College transfer, is recovering from minor knee surgery but is expected to compete later in the NCAA. Jeremy Erickson, has been cycling to get her knee back into shape, Lockwood said.
Another junior college recruit is Jan Hunt, from Johnson County Community College. Hunt was the setter for the last game and placed fourth in the nation last season.
Lockwood divides the team into setters, attackers and center backs, a setter on the back line. On offense, the ball would move from the centerback to the setter for the signal and then to the attacker for a spike.
Two freshmen, Julie Ester and Julie Beall, were recruited to help bolster weak attack positions on the squad. Ester is a 6-foot, all stater from the first team in the squad from the last year's state championship squad at Shawnee Mission East.
Lockwood said the priority for the squad right now was to work hard on techniques and on the timing between them and attackers before the season begins.
"We need to gain a more competitive edge and higher skill level," Lockwood said.
