Brewers tap Rovals in 10th; Brett now at .402

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-A red-letter day it wasn't for the Kansas City Royals. Not only did they lose 3-1 to the Milwaukee Brewers last night, but they failed to reach the 2 million mark in attendance by 5,000.
Dennis Leonard pitched into the 10th inning and got the loss, his ninth against 16 victories, and Dan Quisenberry appeared and received nothing for warming up his now-valid right arm.
Pitchers Leonard and Lary Sorson of Milwaukee were the show until the 10th. Leonard pitched seven scoreless innings before giving up a home run to Gorman Thomas.
That tied the score at 1-1, George Brett's 18th homer of the year in the sixth inning the only other score.
Both pitchers were still around the 10th, but Leonard wasn't to last long. With the score still
tied, Leonard walked Robin Yount on four pitches. Cecl. Cooper, a 360 hitter, husted. The big first baseman showed some bat skill and dropped a perfect bunt, which Darrrell Porter fielded and aimed at the first base this time, however, and the ball sailed into the right field corner. Yount scored from first and Cooper cruised easily into second.
Porter didn't offer any excuses for his error.
"I threw it away," Porter said. "Didn't everyone see it?"
The Brewers added another run when the Royals walked Ben Oglivie intentionally, and Don Money doubled in Cooper from second. That performance led the Royals went down in order in the bottom of the 10th.
Sorenson said the victory was an easy one for him. So easy that he lost track of innings and was surprised to learn that he had pitched 10 innings.
"I didn't know the game went 10," he said. "I thought I was pitching in the bottom of the ninth."
I thought, 'Good, we scored. I don't have to go back out again.'
"Now I'm more tired than I was. I guess I have to have a couple more beers."
Brett, the day after his celebrated visit with President Carter in Independence, Mo., was one of the few bright spots in the losing night for the 1962 Cincinnati two straight and Three of the last four games.
Brett was 1-for-2 with his horner, an intentional walk and a semi-intentional pass after Willie Wilson singled and stole second in the eighth. Wilson laid in reading batting average went up one point to .402.
Brewer manager George Bamberger continued his praises of Brett.
"He hit a 24 fastball, but he can hit anything," Bammerberger said of Brett's home run.
"Willie Aikens had the same pitch, but he didn't get under it."
"Brett didn't miss much of that pitch," Sorenson said. "I would rather give up a higher than a walk, a bunt and a single. He's hot, he hits it in the stands. He's not and its a single.
Aikens lined out to second baseman Gantner in the sixth.
Until Brett's heater in the steth, the only action in the game was the crowd baiting the umpires.
A drive by Yount down the third base in the fifth just missed the third base umpire. As he scrambled out of the way, he began to signal the ball foul, but was overruled by the home plate umpire. Jim Frey, Roy's manager, came from
the dugout and the traditional argument ensued with the traditional results.
Later, in the bottom of the fifth, a bunt by John Wathan entered fair territory and was fielded by three base coach Gordy MacKenzie. The ball was taken from him and call and continued to do so on every ball hit.
The Royals magic number dorped to 11 as the Texas Rangers lost to Toronto.
The Royals magic number dropped to 11 as the Texas Hangers lost to Toronto.
Texas Rangers lost to Toronto.
would mathematically clinch the title for the Rangers.
The Royals go against the Brewers again at 7:35 tonight. The starting pitchers will be the Royals' Cy Young award hopeful Larry Gurale, 18, and Chris Fowler, 20, who will meet between the two teams. The Royals now lead the season series 6-5. Five of those victories have been in Milwaukee.

Basketball recruit flunks collegiate eligibility test
Sports Writer
KU should have a record enrollment in 1980, but it won't be thanks to the basketball team. Three prospective players have left the ranks in the last few semesters.
First, sophomore center Mark Snow transferred after last spring semester. Then, in August,凯文 Keith Douglas announced that he had been turned up at Barton County Community College
Douglas and Snow were names known to most
Douglas and Snow. Their losses will be
familiarly only due to more information.
BRIAN MARTIN, a 6-foot-9 center from Wichita Northwest High School and late signee with KU in the last recruiting season will not attend KU because of academic challenges. He will graduate high school with a 2.0 grade point average. He was enrolled at Hutchinson Community College.
To qualify for a major college, Martin will have to pass 24 credit hours with a 2.5 grade point average. If he accomplishes this, the decision is made and he can graduate. He must attend a qualifying考试 to attend KU, his letter of intent is no
longer valid and thus, he is open game for any major college. Whether that college will be KU is up in the air once again.
"He will have to decide on that later!" Ted Owens, KU basketball coach, said. "We have no idea of what he'll do."
WITH THE ADDITION of junior college All-America Victor Mitchell, a brusher of a center, and one-year additional experience for Art teacher Jennifer Pappas, it doesn't seem to be an immediate need for Martin.
However, Owens said that Martin would have been a useful tool on this season's team.
"He figuried in our plans or we wouldn't have recruited him in the first place," Owens said.
Actually, it was Arkansas, not KU, that recruited Martin in the first place. Martin had nearly been ruled out as a prospective signee early in the recruiting year because he had shown great interest in Arkansas and little interest in Kentucky. It became when Arkansas chose not to offer Martin a scholarship. Suddenly, he was available again and KU was his second choice.
And now, he is at Hutchinson, a long way from Arkansas.
