New York shuts down Astros, tying playoff series
United Press International
HOUSTON — The New York Mets, shut out in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, rebounded in Game 2 last night with the kind of敌意 attack that enabled them to win 108 games during the regular season.
Combining offense, defense and pitching, the Mets gave Houston something to ponder on the off-day trip to Shea Stadium, scoring a 5-1 victory over the Astros and tying the NLCS at one game apiece.
Wally Backman delivered two key singles, and hand-hander Bobby Ojeda frustrated Houston with a hit-com
plete game.
"We knew we had to win, basically." Ojeda said. "We were a little nervous. But when we broke the ice, you could feel a sigh of relief.
"You could just feel a very positive momentum shift to us."
Backman ignited a two-run fourth inning and singled home one of three runs in the fifth and dissappointed a crowd of 44,391.
Ojeda stranded nine runners for the victory.
"We had enough hits, but we didn't get them at the right time." Houston Manager Hal Lanier said. "You also have to give credit to their pitcher Ojeda."
Rafael Santana started a double play and kept the Astros from developing a comeback in the ninth.
Gary Carter doubled home one run and Keith Hernandez tripled home two more for the Mets.
"We made some big plays at crucial times," Oiteda said.
Nolan Ryan once again showed that his 19 mph fastball doesn't scare New York much. Ryan, who fell to 0-3 against the Mets this season, retired the first 10 batters but was hit hard over the next $1_{3/4}$ innings and took the loss
"He threw the ball well velocity- wise," Lanier said. "He didn't get the ball where he wanted to."
When the Astros did finally produce a key hit, Phil Garner's RBI single in the seventh, it proved way too late.
"I thought Bobby Ojeda pitched a very gutty game," said New York Manager Davey Johnson.
Game 3 is scheduled tomorrow in Shea Stadium, with Houston's Bob Knepper opposing the Mets' Ron Darling.
The difference in team attack could scarecely have been more pronounced. The first seven Met hits all contributed to a run. Meanwhile, the Astros carefully developed an almost attack. In just about every inning, they almost scored.
The pattern of Game 1 — won 1-0 by Houston — persisted three innings in Game 2. The Astros failed to produce a clutch hit and the Mets failed to hit, period.
Ryan retired all nine batters, including Len Dykstra, who once again led off the game by bunting.
In the second inning, Houston was unable for the fourth time in the series to deliver a runner from third with less than two out.
With one out, Kevin Bass doubled and went to third when Cruz singled off Ojeda's glove. Ojeda then fielded Alan Ashby's checked-swing bouncer and tagged out Bass trying to score.
When Billy Hatcher singled with
one out in the third, it marked the first time in the series anyone in the three spots for Houston hit safely. Hatcher, however, was doubled off first on a short pop to the outfield.
The Mets finally scored in the fourth, collecting two runs on three hits. Backman and Hernandez singled, and Carter lined a double off the right field wall for one run. Darryl Strawberry then lofted a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead.
The Astros responded with their now-familiar routine of coming close. Garner walked and, once out later, Bass singled to third. However, Jose Cruz struck out and Alan Ashby grounded out.
KU. ISU look for best start since'81

For Kansas and Iowa State, the Big Eight Conference season begins tomorrow. But this match has turned into more than just another conference opener because the winning team will record its best start since 1981
"For us, the Iowa State game will be like the Super Bowl," offensive guard Steve Nave said recently. "The glory of victory is always short-lived. We have a streak going now and we have to keep that going."
Both teams are 3-1 after three consecutive victories. They also have many similarities on offense and defense
Jayhawk quarterback Mike Orth, the No. 1 passer in the Big Eight this season, is rapidly climbing to the top of the KU record books with each completed pass. Meanwhile, No. 2 passer Alex Espinoza, ISU quarterback, needs only 92 more yards to

Verandas find their own definition of success

The Verandas, a rock band from Iowa, has been on a six-state performing tour for 10 months. The group formed three years ago and released their first album in March. They will be performing at 9 p.m. tonight and tomorrow at Coqburn's, 737 New Hampshire St.
The only way to sell records and improve music is to practice — and that is precisely what The Verandas, a four-member rock band that is coming to Lawrence this weekend, have been doing for the past three years.
The Verandas, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, have been on a six-state tour for 10 out of the last 12 months. They will appear at Cogburns, 737 New Hampshire St., tonight and tomorrow at 9:00. There is a $2 cover charge.
the group released its first album,
V-Notes, in March. Two thousand
five hundred copies of the album,
including 100,000 physical copies,
tempo dance tunes, have been made.
"I know the number of albums cut doesn't sound like much." Faucher said. "But when you're not on the radio, are bases are based solely on word of mouth."
Marty Fauchier, the group's lead vocalist and songwriter, conceded that 2,500 copies didn't sound impressive, but he said the band was happy with its recent success on the Midwest tour circuit.
“Getting air play with an FM radio station is virtually impossible unless you're with a big label, or unless someone's palms are getting greased.”
"Everyone has their own method and definition of success in the music industry," Fauchier said. "A person can wait tables or work at a 7-Eleven and write in his spare time, or put a band together and take it, and its songs, on the road.
Since The Verandas haven't received air time on the radio, the best way to publicize their music is to go on tour full-time. he said.
"We chose the performing method, and have never regretted it."
Fauchier said touring wasn't
always easy. In 1983, when the band was founded, members lived on $100 a week and slept seven people to a hotel room while on the road.
"The underlying theme of our music is that you create your own reality," he said. "It doesn't matter if other people tell you what you should do, you have to rely on your inner self and do what you think is best."
Fauchier said that although he thought music should be fun and not moralistic, he had tried to communicate his message through most of his songs.
The band's all-or-nothing style of touring coincides with the philosophy espoused by the group's music, he said.
For example, "American Tradition," one of his favorite songs, was inspired by a television news show.
"I was watching the news a couple of years ago in a hotel room," he said. "For the first time, I heard about child abuse in California daycare centers, and about how James Watt (the former secretary of the interior), was trying to sell off the park lands to install oil wells.
"It just made me feel a lot of disgust for the part of the American value system that values money over humanity."
While on tour, the band plays mostly original songs, but it also does remakes of classic rock tunes, he said.
"Original music is especially close to me," he said. "But doing the old songs again is fun, too. Some people who consider themselves purists are offended when they have to play their people's music, but it doesn't bother me."
He said he liked a lot of audience participation at the band's performances.
"The best way to get to know a new band is to get out and see the band and sweat a little," he said. "A lot of audience participation is the only way live music has a chance to survive."

we're bringing them to Lawrence because we've heard so many good things about them," she said. "And besides that, I like our look. They
become accustomed to hearing music played by a disc jockey, and that they had to adjust themselves to the idea of hearing a live band.
Now me customers are used to it though, and I think they like it," she said. "We've brought in pretty good products. We don't bring anything shoddy in."
She said that she and her partner, Brett Mosiman, bought Cogburns about a year ago in order to bring live music to Lawrence.
have a real good look. They don't have that 'new wavy, new wavy' or leather pants look, which I don't like."
Mona Tipton, a co-owner of Cafe Rica, heard a lot of food reports about the
"When you have real people up there, it's fun. You can yell things at them, and they can yell things back at you."
She said that under the previous ownership, Cogburns' patrons had
