Yanks win World Series opener
By United Press International
NEW YORK-Bob Watson, fulfilling a 17-year dream, hit a three-hurrow homin in his first World Series at bat and combined with third baseman Graig Nettles' magic glaze to open the game into a recurring nightmare for Dodgers last night sparking the New York Yankees to a 8-5 victory.
Watson connected for a three-run homer off Jerry Reuss in the first inning to get the Yankees started on their way and Nettles, an old Dodgers nemesis, saved the contest with two sparkling playoff runs, driving one minute into Steve Garvey's line drive in the eight inning that ended a Dodgers' rally.
Ron Guday and Lou Piniella also played prominent roles in the trumpet, as the Vankees picked up from where they were going in the 1978 series. Guiry held the
Dodgers to just four hits and one run in seven innings and Pinilla, filling in for the injured Reggie Jackson, had a key save in the ninth and added an RBI single in the third.
The Yankees will seek to take a 2-0 lead in the Series tonight when they send ex-Dugger Tommy John to the N.L. against right-hander Burt Hooton.
Los Angeles entered the Series fresh from a dramatic ninth-inning victory over Montreal Monday night for the National League pennant, but the Yankees took control of the game in the first inning when Watson, who had waited 17 years to play in a World Series, drilled a three-run homer on a third-base hit by Jerry Mumphrey and a two-out, ground-rule double by Pinellia.
Piniela's run-scoring single in the third and a loaded-steel walk to Wade Winfield in the fourth staked the Yankees to a 5-10 lead and by the time
the Dodgers finally got untracked, they were too far behind.
If it hadn't been for Nettles, however, the Dodgers might have pulled out the game.
Steve Yeager's solo hero in the fifth inning produced the Dodgers' first run, and when Yankees Manager Bob Lemon decided to replace Guildry with Rush Williams, Ron Baxus, in the eighth, it appeared the Yankees were home free.
Davis, however, had trouble with his control and walked the first two batters he faced and Lemon decided to bring in ace Rich Gossage.
Jay Johnstone, batting for Bill Russell, greeted Gossage with a run-scoring single and when Dusty Baker missed the ball, he dodgers appeared to be in business.
Nettles, however, killed the rally when he lunged far to his right and
snared a hard line drive by Garvey that appeared headed into the corner for a car
Gossage then got Ron Cey to hit into a force-out to end in the injury, and locked up the game in the ninth by setting up a backhand strike while recording a pair of strike outs.
The Yankees set the tone of the game on the very first play when third baseman Nettles, who played such brilliant defense against Los Angeles in the 1978 Series, divided to his right to smother Dave Lopes' hard grounder and throw out the Dodgers' second baseman at first.
Held to only two hits over the first four innings by Guidry, the Dodgers finally scored in the fifth on Yeager's third career World Series homer, a high fly that barely cleared the right-field fence.
