OAKLAND - left-hander Ken Holtman limited Baltimore to five hits while Sail Bantel bated a second-chance home run and Ray Foyse hit a three-run shot, giving the Oakland A's a 5-0 win. The Hawks will be even to even the American League playoffs at onegame anime.
The best-of-five series will resume Tuesday in Baltimore.
fourth group on the Aggles 48 yard line and KU went in to score its third touchdown.
Holtzman, backed by faultless and often brilliant fielding,
retired 16 batters in a row between a single by Andy Echebaren in the third inning and a single by Enos Cabell in the eighth.
Bando, who made three fine fielding plays at third base, broke up a scoreful pitching battle in the fourth inning when he beated a pitch from Orioles' starter Dave McNally over the left field fence, just inches above the glove of the leaping Don Bavlor.
Two pitches earlier, Bando tried to check a swing and hit a能e top fly down the right field. Second base Hobby Gobert (20) was a clear winner.
Band's bauer was the first of the playoffs for the A's, who were in a severe hitting slump in September. Fosse, who hit 196 in the regular season with only four hammers, connected for a four-run off hit relief pitcher Grant Jackson in the eighth inning.
It came immediately after reserve shortstop Frank Baker booted a ground ball hit by Cedar Washington with two outs.
The A's power hitting showed more signs of life Sunday with Joe Rudi contributing a double in the sixth inning which allowed Bill North to score the second run and drove McNally out of the game.
North opened the A's sixth inning with a walk and, with one out, went to second on a wild pitch by McNally.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — "It was a slow, slow something," said Willie Crawford of the pitch he hit for the pinch-single that drove in the tie-breaking run for Los Angeles in a 5-2 victory Sunday over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The win put the Dodgers two games up in the National League playoffs.
"I was looking for something to jack," Crawford said as the ball fell. He saw a player who gave them a 2-0 straight in the best of five plays,
Crawford, who hit .295 in 138 games as a regular outfielder, was a pinnacle hit only about six or seven times during the regular season.
Crawford's hit sent home the first of three runs in an eightinnings rally off Pittsburgh relief ace Dave Gusti. He drove in Ron Cey, the little third baseman who had doubled to start the three-run surge.
Cey, who tied a National League playoff record with four hits-a home run, two doubles and a single-confirmed that he had been sick and weak the last two weeks with a bad cold and a sinus problem.
Cey said he switched to a lighter hat for Sunday's game because he wasn't as strong as he should have been.

"I just didn't have any stuff," he said. "Sometimes you have it, sometimes you don't." That's all part of the game."
Gusti said the "slow, slow something" Crawford hit was the pitcher's favorite delivery, a nallhamb.
The victory sent Los Angeles home needing only one victory in the three games scheduled for Dodger Stadium to clinch their first National League pennant since 1968. The first of the three games is scheduled for tomorrow night.

"I don't know what got into me," Lemon said. "This is as fire uped as I've been in a long time. Today I put out a 120 per cent effort out there."

T Steve Towle, KU defensive linebacker, also had an outstanding day with 11 tackles.
The first quarter must have been indicative of how the rest of the game would go for the Aggies. They gained only two downs in the quarter and didn't even get past their own 40-yard line on their first three possessions.
But Lemon and Towler were 'the only ones on the field who put out 120 per cent. The entire defensive unit was hitting and scrapping all afternoon and held an Texas game at 123 yards, 123 yards, rushing and 11 first downs to KU's 875 yards rushing and 24 first downs.
One of the factors that the KU coaches face is that the players game was the size and physical abilities of the Texas A&M offensive line. From right tackle to left tackle, the line averaged 255

been.
Dillon said that despite the Tornado A&M offensive line's weight, they weren't slow and were very strong, and one of the reasons the KU defense did so well was that they were well prepared for the A&M offense.
"We had worked on their offense with all the coaches," Dillon said. "Our primary attack was to shut off their inside game and take them out outside, then try to pursue the outside."
"We shut off the run. We wanted to stop the wainbone and we stopped it. It was an alabaster."
Les Barnes, KU defensive end, said he knew he had do a job and knew how to do it.
"This was the reason I came to KU—to play in a game like today on a Big Eight team," he said. "We had the offense to take it to them."
Barnes played outstanding throughout the game. He had six unassisted tackles and one assisted for seven tackles. But by far, his most impressive statistic was that three of his tackles threw A&M for a total loss of 15 yards.
"I would attribute our defensive error to the scouting team," he said. "I was ready for their inside game. To me our quickness would win it for us. We really took it to them."
Lemon said the A&M player he faced said before the game that Lemon was a "hot dog" and not as good a player as most people thought.
"After the first three plays, I was in control," Lemon said. "I beat him after the first three plays. He got in a few shots during the game—he was a big boy—but not

KU Coach Don Fambrough summed up Saturday's defensive display by saying the defense was the key factor of the game. He said the coaches and team were concerned about Texas &M controlling the ball and four- or five-ranked KU to death.
