Expo bench riders give Reds splinters

; MONTREAL (AP) - They are referred to here as the BUS squad, but after two straight losses to the Expos, the Cincinnati Reds likely have another term for them that is unprintable. ; The BUS stands for Broke Underrated Superstars and consists of a wide collection of Montreal bench-warmers. But few of the squad’s members sat around gathering splinters Wednesday night as the Expos scored an 11-inning, 5-4 victory over the Reds. ; First it was Tommy Hutton, tije captain of the squad, cracking a one-out double in the 11th, arid then it was Jerry White drawing an intentional walk before Jim Mason slammed a

game-winning double off the left-field wall. “I told Larry Parrish it was time to go home and if he didn’t want to win the game I was going to try,” said Mason, who was welcomed into the clubhouse with a blue carpet composed of bath towels. Parrish, who preceded Mason to the plate, was struck out by reliever Tom Hume, 5-5, but the Expos’ utility infielder, who entered the game for Chris Speier in the 10th inning, jumped on Hume’s first pitch to send 25,233 Olympic Stadium fans home happy. “It’s just great to help the ball club,” added the 28-yearold Mason, who batted .190 with

. By FRANK BROWN AP Sports Writer Philadelphia’s Tim McCarver may know Steve Carlton better than anyone else. McCarver catches Carlton when the 34-year-old left-hander pitches for the Phillies, and acts as his spokesman when the hurler shuns interviews which is often. Wednesday night, after Carlton’s four-hitter had helped Philadelphia beat the Atlanta Braves 10-4, McCarver offered this statistic: “That’s about the sixth time Steve has stopped a mini-losing streak for us.” Carlton’s eighth victory in 15 decisions this season was, in fact, the sixth one following one or more Philadelphia losses. The Phillies, who begin a

Puerto Rico next month. “What they did was a tremendous thing. A lot of them had a lot of problems getting here, but that just shows the kind of class they have by making it.” Besides May, who is now with the Chicago Bulls, and Green, with the Indiana Pacers, other former players for Knight included Kent Benson and Quinn Buckner (both of the Milwaukee Bucks), Tom Abernethy (Golden State Warriors) and Wayne Radford (Pacers), all of whom played on Indiana’s 1976 NCAA championship team. The alumni squad was coached by Steve Downing, a member of the Hoosiers’ 1973 NCAA finalists, who played two years with the Boston Celtics. “For me, and I’m sure for the

Texas Rangers of the American League last season. “The script wasn’t too bad,” grinned Hutton, who started the game at first base for a resting Tony Perez. “When you win a series from Cincinnati, who has been in the playoffs and World Series, it’s a big plus.” The Expos came from behind twice before gaining the victory. Andre Dawson’s 13th home run of the season wiped out a 2-0 lead in the sixth and Parrish slammed his fifth homer of the season off starter Tom Seaver in the seventh to force a 4-4 tie. David Concepcion had provided the Reds with a shortlived lead in the top half of the seven-

weekend series with the National League’s West Division-lead-ing Expos on Friday, at least can take with them the solid performance against the Braves. In the other NL games Wednesday, the Expos beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 in 11 innings, the Houston Astros trimmed the New York Mets 5-4, the Pittsburgh Pirates bested the San Francisco Giants 8-5, and the San Diego Padres defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1. Pete Rose’s two-run homer, Carlton’s two-run single and a two-run double by Greg Luzinski were enough to beat Atlanta. The Braves got an unearned run in the second when Barry

rest of the guys, it was very special tonight,” Downing said. “It brought back a lot of memories just hearing the fans cheer.” Benson, who led the alumni team with 18 points, said, “It was great coming back and playing with all of the guys again. It’s unbelievable that something like this can happen after a few of us have been away for at least five years.” Green, who graduated the year before the Hoosiers won the national championship, said, “It seems like just putting on an Indiana uniform again and seeing those cheering fans in the stands brings out the best in me. It kind of gave me chills when we were all introduced.” The Pan American team.

th when he drilled a tworun blast to right field. The Reds threatened again in the eighth when George Foster led off the inning with a single against starter Scott Sanderson. That forced Manager Dick Williams to bring in Dan Schatzeder, who promptly drilled Dan Driessen on the batting helmet with a pitch. The call then went out to veteran Stan Bahnsen and the right-hander got one out,on Johnny Bench’s sacrifice which advanced the runners. After issuing an intentional walk to Cesar Geronimo to fill the bases, Bahnsen blew three strikes past pinch-hitters Ken Henderson and Junior Kennedy to quash the rally.

Bonnell walked, took third on an errant pickoff throw by Carlton, and scored on a wild pitch. They added two in the sixth and another in the eighth on a home run by Bob Horner. > Astros 5, Mets 4 Joe Sambito continued his remarkable relief pitching and Craig Reynolds had another game-winning hit against New York in the Astros’ victory. Sambito inherited a 3-0 count on Mets shortstop Frank Taveras when he came on in relief of J .R. Richard with none out in the eighth. He needed just three pitches to strike out Taveras and got the next two batters on fly balls. Then he watched Reynolds, who had the winning hit in

which led at one time by 10 points, was led by the 18 points of Mike Woodson, who will be a senior at Indiana in the fall. The Indiana alums led 40-36 at halftime, but Woodson hit six of seven shots in the third quarter to put the Pan Am squad on top going into the final period. After the Pan Am team took a 67-57 lead, two baskets each by Benson and Radford, who finished with 16 points, cut the lead to two. Minutes later, a basket by Buckner tied it up. May, who also finished with 16, put the former Hoosiers ahead to stay with a 19-foot baseline jumper, and Green clinched it with two free throws with 23 seconds left. “I think we’ve got to work on certain kinds of combinations

Scott surprises A's and himself with daring move

By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer Great Scott! How do you go from second base all the way home on a sacrifice fly? Even George Scott doesn’t know. “I never did that before,” said Scott after scoring from second on a sacrifice fly in Wednesday night’s 9-2 Kansas City romp over the Oakland A’s. The newest of the Royals is not only hitting the ball at a good clip, but showed his teammates some flashy running ability as well in his latest outing. “I just kept on running,” Scott said of the rare play in the seventh inning on Darrell Porter’s sacrifice fly. “The third base coach (Chuck Hiller) waved me on and I just never stopped.” Porter’s fly ball was caught by Mike Heath in left, the outfielder making a nice running catch. Heath’s momentum carried him nearly to the wall, as Scott took off from second. “I didn’t think he was going to run,” said Heath, who appeared to relax a bit after the catch. But when he finally fired the ball back into the infield, the burly Scott was chugging around third and heading safely home. Scott also collected three singles, boosting his batting average as a Royal to .400, and scored three times. In the other American League games, the Boston Red Sox whipped the Detroit Tigers 13-3; the Baltimore Orioles stopped the Cleveland Indians 5-3 in a rain-shortened s>/2-inning game; the Milwaukee Brewers trimmed the Minnesota Twins 8-3; the Seattle Mariners turned back the Chicago White Sox 5-3; the California Angels nipped the Texas Rangers 5-4 and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 in the opener of a double-header before losing the nightcap 3-2.

San Diego scored three four-th-inning runs, two with the help of St. Louis miscues, to insure the triumph.

against certain kinds of defensive play,” Knight said, referring to the Pan American team. “Tonight, we just stayed with moving players around, and I don’t think we’re as flexible with 12 players as we need to be. I don’t think we can play through our roster against every defense.
