Red Sox, Cincinnati win playoffs
Rv The Associated Press
Boston relief pitcher Dick Drago killed the Oakland A's last hope for a victory with one pitch, and Carl Yazerstmaki contributed two hits and a brilliant fielding play. The Red Sox completed their sweep over the three-dime defending champion A's.
The Boston Red Sox in the American League and the Cincinnati Reds in the National League won by identical 5-4 scores. The Twins, who were the teams which moved them into the World Series.
Cincinnati pinch-bitter Ed Armbrister's
goalhand runs in the 10th inning in the
2nd game.
Drago replaced Red Sox starter Rick Wise with one in the eight innings after the A's had scored two runs to make the score 5.3. His first pitch to Joe Rudi was a double ball. He was a virtually dead.
Boston pitched A's starter Ken Holtzman, who was pitching with just two days rest, and two reillevers for 11 base hits. The Red Sox played flawless defense before suffering a slight fielding-breakdown in the eighth.
It was a team victory for Cincinnati in a game that featured a playoff record-equalling 14-strikeout performance by Pittsburgh rookie John Candelaria and a last-of-the ninth Pirates' rally that sent the game into extra innings.
The victory gave Boston its first league championship since 1967 and sent them home to Fenway Park where they will open World Series Saturday against Cincinnati.
Pittsburgh Pirates, which won the National League pennant. Armbrister drove his long sacrifice fly to Al Oliver in center field, scoring Ken Griffey.
The Reds gained their seventh National League pennant in the 99-year history of the Reds' franchise with a pair of runs off Pittsburg ranch Hernan Hammon in the top of the 10th.
Kansas tops in Big Eight in rushing
After the past two days, it will probably come as little surprise to KU football fans that the Jayhawks own the best rushing statistically, at least in the Big Eight.
But there's another side of the coin: INU
kills the best scoring defense in the
louisiana confederacy.
Finally, individual Jayhawks are known for their marks known in the official charts.
Maybe the most surprising thing about KU right now is its record of 3-1. Few football fans expected Kansas to win that title, but a whole year, much less the first four games.
The Jayhawks' toughest test of the year faces them this Saturday, when they travel to play Nebraska, the fourth-ranked team in the nation.
That game will match the top running team in the Big Eight—the Jayhawks are averaging 31.2 yards a game —against the Oklahoma State. Alaska is allowing only 73.5 yards a game.
The KU defense will also face its sternest test of the season, against going at a Cornhusker offense that's averaging 35.5 points. The defense is likely losing up fewer than nine points a contest.
In individual statistics, KU quarterback Nolan Cromwell is at the top of the league rushing charts with a 131.3 yards a game average.
Kickoff returner Eric Franklin remains at the top of the heap with a 27.7 average for
Because of their weeful passing attack, the Jayhawks have neither a passer nor a receiver listed anywhere in the top ranks of those categories.
Chris Golub, safety, is tied for the league lead in interceptions with three.
Dennis Kerbel, placekicker, has moved to sixth place in scoring with 29 points on the ball. He scored 35 on Saturday.
Husker defense worries Moore
For the second straight week, KU head coach Bud Moore will take 48 Jayhawks to an away football game. But there's going to be a challenge when Coach Brady of the Nebraska huskers Saturday in Lincoln.
Last week, it didn't really matter that KU had 48 players and Wisconsin had 60, the amount allowed the home team by the Wildcats had 35, the Badgers, 41.7. But it's going to matter this week. Moore said.
"You're still faced with the same problems except that we're faced with 60 better players up there than we faced at Wisconsin," he said.
Nebraska, he noted, will be the best defensive team the Jayhawks have beat.
Linebacker Jeff Turner was switched to noseguard, substituting for the injured Dennis Balagna. He also sprained an ankle in the Wisconsinin and, Moore said, is still doubtful for the Nebraska game.
