Tigers Beat KU in Last League Game
By Roy Miller
Missouri became the first team since 1936 to finish the league baseball season with an undefeated record when the Tigers beat KU, 4-3, here yesterday.
The Big Eight champions, who extended their victory streak to 21, finished the scheduled season with a 22-3 mark
for overall competition and a 19-0 conference record.
The only other league teams to finish with unbeaten records were Oklahoma (7-0) in 1935 and Iowa State (7-0) in 1936.
TRAILING 4-2 in the ninth inning, the Jayhawks threatened when Stirling Coward's infield hit scored Charles Moore with two outs. With a baserun-
ner on second, Dick Fanning fouled out to Gary Woods, the Tiger's first baseman.
John Seveik singled in Dave Harvey and Woods in the first inning for MU's first runs. A sacrifice fly by Dan Rudanovich scored Jim Seveik in the third inning.
Jack Stroud, the winning pitcher, hit a double to score
Mike Strode in the sixth inning.
STROUD, WHO WENT eight and one-third innings, allowed six hits, struck out 10 and gave up six walks. Coward's hit in the ninth came off Dennis Nelson, who entered the game after Stroud gave up a walk and a hit.
The Tigers collected nine hits off four Jayhawk pitchers, the biggest being a triple by Jim Estes in the ninth inning.
KU finished fourth in the league standings, same as its 1963 finish, with an 11-10 mark and a 16-11 record for all games.

By United Press International Sometimes the guys who are paid the least are the ones who produce the most.
That was precisely the case last night when John Kennedy of the Washington Senators and Dalton Jones of the Boston Red Sox, a pair of bench-warmers who are working for approximately the $7,000-a-year minimum, both came up with maximum performances.
Kennedy, given a chance at shortstop only because regular Ed Brinkman had slumped to 157, blasted two homers and a single to drive in three runs and pace the Senators to a 10-3 triumph over the Detroit Tigers.
JONES EARNED HIS letter with the Red Sox in similar fashion.
Named to the starting line-up largely because of his pinch three-run double in the ninth inning the night before, the rookie second baseman drove in the tying run with a key seventh inning double and set up the winning one in Boston's 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
The 22-year-old Kennedy started Washington's 12-hit attack with his first homer of the game in the opening inning off loser Ed Rakow (0-3), hit his second circuit in the fifth at the expense of Julio Navarro and then singled home another run during a five-run seventh after homers by Bill Freehan and George Thomas had narrowed the Tigers' deficit to 5-3.
Southpaw Claude Osteen scored his third win in seven decisions with help from Tom Cheney in the seventh.
JONES, WHO BEAT the Angels, 4-3, Tuesday with a pinch double off Don Lee, picked on Bob Lee last night with the Red Sox trailing 3-2 in the seventh.
He drilled a double with runners on first and second to tie the score and moved Roman Mejias to third, from where Mejias scored the winning run on Ed Bressoud's infield hit.
Jack Lamabe limited the Angels to six hits during the seven innings he worked and gained his fourth victory when Dick Radatz hurled scoreless ball over the last two innings.
Harmon Killebrew crashed a pair of 400-foot homers to power the Minnesota Twins to a 7-4 win over the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles downed the Kansas City A's, 8-3, in the only other American League games scheduled.
THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES regained first place in the National League with a 7-2 win over the San Francisco Giants, the St. Louis Cardinals nipped the Chicago Cubs. 1-0, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Houston Colts, 4-3, the Milwaukee Braves racked up the Cincinnati Reds, 7-3, and the Los Angeles Dodgers downed the New York Mets, 4-1.
Killebrew's 10th and 11th homers of the season plus Rookie Tony Oliva's eight raised the Twins' home run total to 61 in 32 games in their assault of the all-time record of 240 set by the Yankees in 1961.
Ralph Terry, who never got past the first inning and suffered his third defeat in four decisions, served up
Oliva's homer and Killebrew's first of the game. Killebrew also connect-ed off reliever Steve Hamilton in the eighth. Camilo Pascual brought his record to 5-2 by striking out nine and giving up eight hits, including a ninth inning homer by Johnny Blanchard.
Milt Pappas held the A's to five hits and breezed to his third victory when the Orioles erupted for five runs in the fifth inning off loser Diego Segui and reliever Jack Aker. Boog Powell's seventh homer capped the rally. Willie Kirkland had three of Baltimore's 13 hits. Brooks Robinson drove in three runs and Luis Aparicio stole three bases.
