Redbirds win in 12th By The Associated Press Louisville maintained a two-game lead in the American Assocation Eastern Division after Redbird batter Jack Ayer hit a single to right centerfield in the bottom of the 12th inning for a 4-3 win over lowa Wednesday night. In other AA action. Oklahoma blanked Buffalo 2-0, Nashville beat Omaha 4-1 and Indianapolis skippedenver 2-1. In Louisville, the bases were loaded in the 12th inning when Ayer came up to the plate and hit his game-winning single. He was batting for designated hitter Tom Pagnozzi, who had been ejected from the game in the 10th inning after arguing over an out call. Pat Perry, 4-2, picked up the victory while Larry Rothschild, 1-5, was tagged with the loss. Louisville is now 57-58, while lowa, 48-66, remains the only AA team which hasn’t won at least 50 games. In Nashville, the Sounds snapped a fourgame losing streak and stayed two games out of first place in the East on Scotti Madison’s three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning against Omaha. It was the third baseman’s 10th homer of the season. The Sounds upped their lead to 4-0 in the sixth when Madison doubled and later scored on a single by Leon Roberts. Omaha got its run in the top of the ninth on back-to-back doubles by Marty Wilkerson and Rich Murray. Rich Monteleone, 5-10, picked up the win with relief help from Steve Shirley. David Cone, 8-13, was the loser for Omaha. Nashville is 55-60, while Omaha is 60-55. In a rain-delayed game in Buffalo, Oklahoma City first baseman Jim Maler hit a solo home run in the second inning to score all the runs the 89ers needed in their win over the Bisons. Both Oklahoma runs came with one out in the second off Bisons loser Steve Fireozid, 6-6.

BO DIAZ Key to trade

Diaz was best catcher available

CINCINNATI (AP) The Cincinnati Reds believe they’ve finally shored up their most unsettled position with the acquisition of catcher Bo Diaz. The Reds obtained the 31-year-old catcher from Philadelphia Wednesday in a five-player deal that sent shortstop Tom Foley to the Phillies. The Reds also obtained minor-league pitcher Greg Simpson and sent the left-hander to their Class A Tampa farm club. The Phillies will get two players not named Wednesday. One of them is expected to be catcher Alan Knicely, transferred to the Phillies’ Portland farm club Wednesday. Knicely remains the Reds’ property until they obtain waivers on him. The Reds also got cash in the deal. It’s the Reds’ second major trade in less than a month. They obtained third baseman Buddy Bell from the Texas Rangers on July 12th. The Reds have been in the market for a steady catcher for some time. They platooned Dann Bilardello, Brad Gulden and Dave Van Gorder at the position last

season, and used Bilardello, Van Gorder and Knicely in the spot this year. None of the three has played consistently enough to win the job full-time. “We felt if we needed a little help with one position, this is the one position we were interested in improving a little bit,” Reds General Manager Bill Bergesch said. “Those other guys did fine jobs, but when you get the chance to get Bo Diaz, you jumpatit.” With the acquisition of Diaz, the Reds sent Bilardello back to their Class AAA Denver team and called up infielder Tom Runnells, a 30-year-old rookie. Bergesch unveiled the trade at a news conference just before the Reds boarded a flight for Los Angeles at the Greater Cincinnati International Airport on Wednesday evening. Reds player-manager Pete Rose, who played with Diaz at Philadelphia, said the catcher would be in the starting lineup when the Reds open a four-game series against the Dodgers tonight. “I know what he can do offensively and

defensively,” Rose said. “You look around at the other 25 teams and see who was available, and Bo was at the top.” Diaz, who has divided his eight-year major-league career equally between the Cleveland Indians and the Phillies, is hitting just .211 in 26 games this year. “I’m going to play. That’s the main thing,” Diaz said. “I wasn’t doing nothing here, so I’m glad they made the deal. What I want to do is play.” Diaz hit .288 with 18 homers and 85 runs batted in during 1982, his first season with the Phillies. He followed that with a .236 average, 15 homers and 64 RBIs in 1983. He was sidelined most of last year by knee surgery. Diaz is under contract through next year, with an additional option year. He makes a reported $600,000 a year, and Phillies President Bill Giles said the cash in the deal was to help offset the salary. “They (the Reds) were not willing to take Bo Diaz under his present salary unless we threw in some money,” Giles said. Biondi sets second mark MISSION VIEJO, Calif. (AP) - It appears only experience stands between Matt Biondi and a world record in the men’s 200-meter freestyle. Biondi, of Moraga, Calif., swam the event for the 10th time in his career Wednesday night, set an American record and missed the world mark by little more than a half-second. The 6-foot-6,195-pound Biondi turned in a clocking of 1:47.89, breaking Mike Heath’s American mark of 1:47.92. Biondi, who twice lowered the world record in the men’s 100-meter freestyle Tuesday night at the Phillips 66 U.S. Swimming Long Course National Championships, swam his first 200 freestyle 16 months ago and knows his experience in the event is lacking. “I’ve only swam the 200 10 times,” Biondi said. “I still don’t have too much confidence in this event. “I know Michael Gross has swam the 200 more than 10 times.” Gross of West Germany is the world record holder with a mark of 1:47.44, set at last summer’s Olympics. The long course nationals, which began Monday, continue through Friday. Biondi’s development into a world class freestyler has not surprised his peers in the swimming relay. “Last summer we talked about the future, and he was looking forward to this summer,” said Mary Wayte, who won the women’s 200-meter freestyle. Other winners Wednesday night were Jeff Kostoff, in the men’s 400-meter individual medley, and Erika Hansen, who took the women’s 400-meter individual medley.

Turnbull is victim of upset

TORONTO (AP) American Molly Van Nostrand, who has lost her share of safe leads in the past, decided to see what the view was like from the other side of the court. “I was thinking I’ve been here before,” Van Nostrand said. “I was up 5-1 in a set against Laura Gildemeister and lost the match. “I thought, here I am in the same position with the other girl ahead. I felt I had nothing to lose and decided to go for it. “I tried not to be nervous, make her win it. I didn’t want to blow it on errors.” In the muggy weather it was the younger player who kept cool while the veteran

tired as Van Nostrand emerged with a 6-4, 2-6, 7-5 victory Wednesday in the $260,000 Player’s Challenge. Van Nostrand, who advanced to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, faced a Turnbull match point while trailing 5-4, but brought the game to deuce when she hit the line on a back-hand passing shot. “Oh God, 1 was praying on that one,” she said. “I didn’t believe it (hit the line).” Her win was one of two upsets as the field was trimmed to 16. In a match that was interrupted for two hours due to a thunder shower, Marcella Mesker defeated lOth-seeded Bettina Bunge of Monaco, 6-2,5-7,6-4. Carling Bassett of Toronto, the No. 8 seed, won her first match ever at the Player’s Challenge.
