Reds complete sweep of Yankees
NEW YORK (AP) — Johnny Bench, erasing the disappointment of his worst firing since 2013.
"I feel like I've given something back to my teammates. A lot of people stuck with me through the year," said the Cincinnati Reds' catcher.
Bench had just hammered two home runs and driven in five runs to crown his team's four-game World Series sweep of American League in New York with a 72 decision last night.
Drenched with champagne, Bench savored his biggest moment in baseball after he was named the Most Valuable Player in the Series for his 8-for-15 hitting performance and a club-high six runs batted in.
THE NINE-TIME All-Star credited his success to a revitalized swing.
"I found something in the playoff that worked. I wasn't getting my hands started fast enough, but it all came together," said Lloyd. "I got to score seven games ranked fourth in the 72冠赛playoffs."
Only the legendary Babe Ruth, Beacon's Glowy and Lou Gehrig had higher rates.
Bench, troubled by personal and physical problems, staggered through a career-law job in the federal government.
"There were a lot of ups and downs. But I wasn't physically sound for the last month."
runs during the regular season.
MEANWHILE, YANEKS owner George Steinbrenner, wearing a pin-striped suit for old times' sake, acted like a politician in the silent. sullen New York locker room.
The Yankees, who made pipistipes and World Series victories famous in their heyday, were trying to hide the embarrassment of the four-game swee
"There were 550 other players watching this game on television. Our guys were proud of it."
The Yankees, entering the Series with 99 victories in their history, are still waiting for No. 100. They had waited 12 years to get into the classic,
"It was their first taste. They were a little nervous, but we'll get them next year."
NEW YORK JUST didn't hit like the
toussous offensive teams that preceded them
"The Reds are an excellent club ball." said Roy White, the Yankees' elder statesman. "They can do everything. This would have like to make a better showing."
The Yankees totaled eight runs and 30 hits in the four losses with tenacious catcher
"I'm a belluva offensive ball player," said Munson, whose six straight hits tied a World Series record set by Goose Goslin of the Washington Senators in 1924.
Thurman Munon picking up eight hits, including a single in each of his last six at-
"I played in the Astro-Trost in the other league. I'd be the best offensive player in the league."
The Yankees had jumped in front in the first inning when Munson looped a single to right field. He circled the bases when Chris Stern sliced a double up the left-center feld alloy.
MUNSON BATTED 529 for the Series and
the first run and knocked in the other last night.
The run he scored in the first timing gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead, their first and only advantage.
JOE MORGAN led off the fourth inning with a walk. After Toney Perez filed out, Morgan stole second base without a throw from Munson. Dan Driessen fouled out, but George Foster drilled a single to left, scoring Morgan with the tying run.

The Yankees got a run back in the fifth. Mickey Rivers opened with a single and, one out later, he stole second. It was the first successful stolen base gain Bench leaders in 27 pot-season games dating back to the 1972 World Series against Oakland.
That brought up Bench, and the Reds' husky catty walloped a 1-1 pitch down the

next came Bench, and this time the Reds' catcher unloaded a shot that sailed over the left-center field fence for three more Red runs.
The Reds became the first National League team in 54 years to win consecutive world championships. The last NL team to win a World Series was the New York Giants of 1921-22.
Soccer club opposes K-State, Arkansas
It was the first sweep in 10 years. The last team to accomplish that feat was the Baltimore Orioles, who took four straight from the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1966.

tions this weekend.
KU travel to Manhattan tomorrow for a match with K-State, 7.0. Starting time is 10:30 a.m. in Memorial Stadium, across from the student union.
"K-State is always very physical to make up for its lack of skill," coach Bernie Mullin said yesterday. "We are going to be in a physical game and we have to get our players mentally prepared to take a list of punishment and still concentrate on playing soccer.
The Jayhawks, 3-2, will field what Mullin wears as "about the best 11 players we've got."
'TT'S TIME to start settling people into
Doug Gunn, Lawrence captain, is optimistic about this year's game, but he said that he hadn't heard much about K-State this year.
Last year's game started the Kansas rugby rivalry and the Governor's wife presented the cup to Lawrence after its 17-7 victory.
"I know they have a lot of support over there," he said. "They have a good team, but I've heard that they're not as good as last year."
Rugby fan Mrs. Robert Bennett is expected to be in Manhattan Sunday to present the Kansas First Lady's Cup to the Lawrence-Kansas State rugby match.

The KU women's cross country team could win the Big Eight championship in Boulder, Colo., but only if Iowa State and Kansas State don't show up.

The Jayhawks have a good young team, with the emphasis on young. But Iowa State, which pummed K-State earlier in the season, and K-State, which has whomped KU a couple of times this fall, appear to have first and second place cinched.
MICHELLE BROWN, Oklahoma City freshman, has been the squad's top runner this fall and seems to be the only jayhawk at chance to place among the top 10 runners.
The game will start at 1:30 p.m.
This leaves KU with a best possible showing of third place in the three-mile race. The Jayhawks have already defeated Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Missouri this season, but have yet to face Nebraska or host Colorado.
Lawrence may have some problems because two of its starters are hurt. Mike Forth has a dislaced elbow and definitely won't play. Jonn Melon, starting backwell
He's also switching strategy for the Wildcat game. Instead of the 3-3-4 alignment that he's used this fall, Mullin will revert to a 4-3-setup.
"We're going back to the formation that won us the Big Eight championship last spring," he said. "And since the field at K-State is narrow we can afford to take the man off the line and put him on the back defensive wall."
