Bucs battle back

BALTIMORE (AP) —
John Candelarla stood in
Pittsburgh Pirates’
dressing-room after practice
Monday and held aloft a
crumpled ticket ftr the sey-
nth game of major league
faseball's World Series,

“after tomorrow night,
this will be worth a lot of
money,’ shouted Can-

laria, the usually soft-
spoken Pirates pitcher.

Candelaria went aut
Tuesday nilht and put his
arm where his mouth was
and made that lastchance
tleket worth the asking
price. He combined with re-
Hever Kent Tekulve for their
fourth tandem shutout of the
geagon.

The National League-
champion Pirates scored
four late-inning runs and
beat the American League-
champion Baltimore Orioles
40 to even the best-of-seven
series at 3-3,

Pittsburgh now is within
one game of becoming the
fourth team in higswry to
rebound from a 3-1 games
daficit to win the Serles,

Jim Bibby, the starter in
Game Four but not involved
in the Pittsburgh loss, has
the assignment for tonight's
seventh game. He'll be
opposed by Baltimore's Scott
McGregor, the winner of
Game Three.

The 25-year-old Candelaria
went six pain-wracked in-
nings and gave up just six
hits. Tekulve followed,
allowing only one hit in three
innings for hia second save af
the saries.

“He (Candelaria) pitched
through pain tonight (Tues-
day), seid Pittsburgh
manager Chuck Tanner.

Tanner explained his star
lefthander went out despite
an aching side. Candelaria
has been bothered with a rib-
cage injury for more than a
month.

“He’s a money pitcher,
one of the best in the game,"
sald Tanner, who has to be

living with mixed emotions.
He needs one victory to gain.
his first Serles triumph.

And win or loas, when it's
over, he has to go home to
New Castle, Pa., and attend
the funeral of his mother,
Anne, 70, who died Sunday
morning.

BALTIMORE (AP) —
By beating Baltimore
Orioles 4-0 on Tuesday
night, Pittsburgh Pirates
tied the 1878 World Serles
at three games apiece
and helped establish a
number of team and
individual series records,

Pirates second
baseman Phil Garner
participated in his ninth
double play of the series,
breaking the former
mark of eight by a second
baseman, held by
Washington Senatora’
Bucky Harris in 1024,

The combined shutout
by Pirate hurlers John
Candelaria and Kent
Tekulve was the 87th
shutout in series history,
and the first since
Boston's Mails Tlant
blanked Cincinnati 6- on
five hits in the first game
in 1975. It was only the
ninth combined shutout in
series history, the firat
since New York Mets’
nett Keosman and Tug

raw teamed up to
blank Oakland A’s 2-0 on
three hits in the fifth
game in 1973,

Tekulve's save was hia
second of the series under

Records broken

rules established in 1969,
ing a series record,
Others with twosaves ina
series since 1969 are Oak-
land's Rollie Fingers in
1972, 1973, and 1674:
Cineinnati’s Will
McEnaney in 1976, and
Oakland's Darold
Knowles in 1973.
Thesacrifice flies hit by
Wille Stargell in the
seventh and Bil] Robinson
in the eighth were the
Pirates’ fourth and fifth
of the series, breaking the
series record of three set
by the 1086 Brooklyn
Dodgers, 1958 Milwaukee
Braves, 1971 Orloles and
1975 Boston Red Sox. -
Billy Smith's pinch-hit
single in the seventh was
the Orioles’ sixth of the
series, tying the series
high set by New York
Yankees in 1947 and 1960
and Oakland A's in 1972,
In the seventh Inning
Tuesday, as they had in
the eighth inning of the
fourth game Saturday,

inch hitters, They
came the first club in

pinch hitters in an inning

Islanders finally

When New York Islanders
do not play aggressively they
don’t win hockey games, or
so saya thelr coach Al Ar-

nr,

The Islanders lost their
opening two National
Hockey League games and
in each defeat showed a
decisive lack of spark.

Arbour, however, appears
to have found the cure for the
blahs with a call to In-

The call went out Sunday,

Vautour's confrontation with

Shewants to play

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) —
Armed with a catcher’s mitt
and a court order, Patty Na-
Bata waa ready to play
softball in an all-male
league.

But while the 90-year-old
secretary warmed up behind
the plate Tuesday night, the
other team walked off the
field to the cheers of the
crowd.

“Let's pul her up against a
20-pound man and see how
she’s golng to catch,”
grumbled spectator Judy
Smith, who plays in a
women's softball league,

Mes. Nagata won a tem-

rary order from a federal

jucale eariler Tuesday block-

png the Seminole County
Parka and Recreation
Departinent from enforcing
a policy of separate teams
for men and women.

US. District Judge Terrell
Hodges of Tampa acted on a
sult brought by Ms. Nagata’s
team-mates, her co-workers
at the Orange-Osceola state
attorney's office. The suit
said the segregation policy Is
discriminatory.

Ms, Nagata helped
organize the team, called the
Mob, and also Plays short-
stop and second base, She

was disappointed by the
walkout, :

“They're the ones making
the big deal," she sald.

After an angry con-
frontation between coaches,
membera of the American
Fastener Components Inc.
squad sald they would rather
forfeit the game than play
against a woman.

“Maybe they were afraid
we would win,” sald Mob
coach Bucky Blankner, The
forfeit boosted his team’s
record to 3-2 in its first year
of league play while
American Fastener fell to 0-
§.

Hodges set a hearing on
the case for Oct. 23, when his
order will expire.

“We're not just dealing
with a token woman,’ M

pitcher Todd Persons sald,
“She's one of the faundera of
the team. She's a gutsy little

gal.

Persons said spectators
hooted and jeered Ma.
Nagata as the team prac-
‘diced after the forfait.

American Fastener
players cried foul at the
court decision.

Tanner had a pitcher
warming up from the first
pitch.

“We were concerned about
his side all the way,” Tanner
explained. “If there was any
indication he wasn’t
throwing right, I was golng
to go out and get him. I know
it hurt him,”

Candelaria, who struck out
two and walked none, ad-
mitted It hurt when he pit-

“Tt hurt then and it hurts
now,” he sald after
emerging from the shower.

Why did he start to leave
the fleld after warming up in
the sixth,

“T saw Chuck coming out
and thought he was coming
to get me,” Candelaria sald.

The winning runs came in
the seventh inning when,
with one out, Omar Moreno
singled, Moreno reached
second on an infield hit by
Tim Foll and scored on Dave
Parker's single.

Foll, who reached third on
Parker's hit, then raced

home on Willie Stargell’s

sacrifice fly. That's ali the
Pirates needed to hang the
loss on Baltimore’s Jim
Palmer, who went eight inni
gs and gave up ail four
Pitteburgh runs.

The Pirates wrapped it up
with two more in the eighth.

Ed Ott alngled with one out
and irrepressible Phil
Garner followed with a
ground-rule double, the ball
bouncing over the left fleld
fence, sending Ott to third,

Bill Robinson delivered
one run with a sacrifice fly
and Moreno’s third hit of the

‘ night scored another.

Tekulve, meanw lle, came
on in the seventh and faced
ust 10 batters in the final
three innings, Pinch-hitter

Billy Smith singled with two |

out in the seventh for the
only hit off the rellever,

Tekuive, who was knocked
around in the fourth game,
fanned pinch-hitter John
Lowenstein to end the
seventh, one af the pitcher's
four strikeouts.

The Pirates appear to have
put thelr defensive act back
together, playing errorless
ball. Second baseman
Garner and third baseman
Bill Madlock made fine
plays.

Garner was in the middie
of one double play, in-
creasing his World Series
total to nine and breaking the
record of elght set by
Washington Senatora’ Bucky
Harris in 1924.

Garner also is 11-for-21 in
the six games for a 524
average — highest in the
Series. He also has driven in
five runs.

Garner, however, would
make no prediction on
tonight's seventh game.
