8A Monday, Aug. 28, 1989 / University Daily Kansan --- ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Oakland tops Royals ending losing streak The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Once again, it was Bob Welch to the rescue. Welch ran his streak of scoreless innings to 24, pitching five-hit ball for eight innings as the Oakland Athletics ended a three-game losing streak yesterday with a 6-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Rickey Henderson hit a three-run homer at Oakland moved 3½ games ahead of third-place Kansas City in the American League West. The Athletics avoided a three-game sweep and finished the season 2-4 in Royals Stadium. "Welch on a good roll right now, making a lot of quality pitches," said Oakland manager Tony LaRussa, whose club avoided tying its longest loss streak of the year. "We've won this type of game several times, the one where it looks like you're starting to go backwards." Welch, 15-7, won his fourth consecutive start and beat the Royals for the first time in three career decisions. Dennis Eckleralay finished with one-hit relief as Kansas City was handed its league-high 15th shutout. "We're in a heck of a baseball race." Welch said. "It will be a dogfight to the end. This was definitely a big victory for us. It cut off a losing streak and came against a team that was playing excellent baseball." The Royals have won 11 of their past 13 games. They took two of the three games against division-leading Oakland and three of four against second-place California last week. that we'll have to be reckoned with," Kansas City manager John Wathan said. "We showed Oakland and California we're going to be tough to beat down the stretch."

And just as his hustle and determination drew admiration, his gross disregard for the rules of baseball should draw scorn. Continued from p. 7 Ross says he loves and lives the game of baseball. But if he loves it so much, why did he let this happen? He violated the rules, the rules that everyone knows, from the owner on down. Should we excuse Rose simply because he was such a great player, an American legend? No. Should he be in the Hall of Fame in 1992? No. Because character is a part of the game, and as Rose has exhibited during the past six months, he has the character of pond scum. Perhaps there is a little compassion warranted. Rose denies that he has a problem, and as any addict will tell you, that's the first warning sign. He's still living in a world in which he is king and everything will be all right in the end. Baseball is a game of sentiment. Pete Rose, in his own little fantasy world, did a lot of damage with a cold touch of reality. And he has yet to wake up to it. > Elaine Sung is a Rochester, N.Y. senior major in journalism. Chiefs defeat Chicago for first exhibition win The Associated Press CHICAGO — Ron Jaworski's 19-yard touchdown pass to Robb Thomas with 4:03 left led the Kansas City Chiefs to a 22-17 exhibition victory last night over the Chicago Bears. Jaworski completed six of six passes for 69 yards in the 72-yard drive. He completed eight of 11 for 71 yards and the touchdown. The victory was the first for the Chiefs, 1-2, and the Bears suffered their second straight loss after an opening victory over Miami. Turnovers and penalties stymied the Bears throughout the game, although the Bears didn't trail until Jaworski hit Thomas for the winning touchdown. Kevin Butler kicked a 54-yard field goal, the longest of his career, to give the Bears a 3-0 lead in the first quarter. Tomczak played the first half for the Bears and completed eight of 14 passes for 127 yards, but he was intercepted twice and sacked twice. Jim Harbaugh entered in the second half and completed eight of 15 for 107 yards. DeBerg completed 10-of-22 for 79 yards in the first half and was intercepted once. The Chies scored on a safety with .59 to play, when Harbaugh stepped out of the end zone for a safety. food food food food food food food food food food food food food food food STRICK'S Restaurant 732 N.
