Ron Perranoski Saves Victory For Dodgers By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer The good professors must pass out rubber arms along with the diplomas at Michigan State University. Exhibit A is Dick Radatz of the Boston Red Sox—the American League's relief pitching marvel. And Exhibit B is Ron Perranoski of the Los Angeles podgers—perhaps the No. 1 relief ace in the National League. Both attended Michigan State in the late 1950 s hnd then went on to careers in big league baseball. Radatz is A huge righthander and Perranoski a slim left-hander but both get the job done in remarkable fashion. Perranoski, sometimes overlooked because of the presence of Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax on the Los Angeles Staff, has compiled a 7-2 record. He's relieved in the Dodgers’ last five games, pitching a total of nine innings without allowing a run. Preserves Victory The 26-year-old native of Paterson, N.J., hustled out of the bullpen for the fifth straight game Monday night and pitched two scoreless innings to preserve a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds that lifted the Dodgers to within one game of the National League lead. His airtight hurling also enabled the Dodgers to end the Reds’ seven-game winning streak. Drysdale, battling to stay over .500 this year after his 25-9 record in 1962, pitched a no-hitter for five innings and a two-hit shutout for seven before he suddenly lost his stuff. Perranoski yielded two hits but pitched his way out of the jam and then closed out the game in the ninth. Willie Davis homered after walks by Maury Wills and Jim Gilliam in the third inning and the Dodgers added a fourth run in the frame on singles by Tommy Davis, Wally Moon and Ron Fairly. Joey Jay was the victim’ of the rally and suffered his 11th loss against three victories. Giants Regain Lead The San Francisco Giants regained the NL lead with a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Braves defeated the Houston Colts, 3-0, in other National League games. In the American League, the Chicago White Sox topped the New York Yankees, 5-2, the Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-4, the Boston Red Sox downed the Cleveland Indians, 7-5, the Kansas City Athletics tripped the Detroit Tigers, 6-3, and the Los Angeles Angels edged the Washington Senators, 3-2. Juan Marichal went 6 2-3 innings before Billy Pierce took over to win his 12th game for the Giant , who scored all their runs off Lew Burdette in the first inning. Chuck Hiller and Jim Davenport had two hits each for the Giants and Julian Javier homered for the Cardinals. Denver Lemaster pitched a four-hitter and struck out six as the Braves extended the Colts’ losing streak to nine straight games. Lee Maye and Eddie Mathews homered for the Braves.

Alan Bedwell followed with a single, and both rode home on a double by Dan Pierce, to move the league-leaders into a 5-3 lead they never lost. The Yanks drew first blood when they scored twice in the opening inning. Norb Hess singled with one out but was forced at second by Dave Geimer. Jim Call reached base on an error, and both Geimer and Call scored on a double by Mark Fletcher. Schnepf Homers The first two hitters up in the Indian half of the first tied the score, as Mike Curtin doubled leading off and Schnepf banged out his third home run of the season, tying him with Tom Schultz of the White Sox for the league lead in that department. The Indians took over the lead when Alan Bedwell, Pierce and Mark Jones foll6wed Schnepf’s homer with singles, to bring home another run. . The Yankees knotted the score in the third frame when Hess was hit by a pitch. He was forced at second by Geimer, and Geimer was forced by Call.

While Sox Win Over Yankees To Cut Lead Byrf’KED DOWN UPI Sports Writer b?he Chicago White Sox have come up with a number tor which American League teams searched for years — the Yankees’ number. It’s an old Yankee tradition to play their best against their chief rivals — to knock off the contenders themselves. The defending world champions may eventually get around to doing just that this season but they’ll have to make up for lost time. Here it is almost the halfway mark of the season and they’ve yet to score a victory oyer the White Sox! The White Sox made it three in a row for the season Monday night when Johnny Buzhardt and Hoyt Wilhelm combined in a sixhitter that gave them a 5-2 victory over, the Yankees. The win was the* White Sox’ fourth in their last five games and boosted them to within one game of first-place New York. Yankee NemesisBuzharcft, a low fast ball pitcher whom the White Sox acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies in 1961, has now beaten the Yankees four straight times over the last two seasons. He yielded five hits in seven innings Monday night to raise his overall season record to 9-3. Catcher Camilo Carreon’s three-run double off Al Downing was the big blow of a four-run fourth-inning rally and Pete Ward weighed in his ninth homer and a single to extend his hitting streak to 18 games. A crowd of 42,748 in Chicago saw Downing suffer his first loss after two wins. ’ The Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-4, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians, 7-5, the Los Angeles Angels nipped the Washington Senators, 3-2, and the Kansas City Athletics downed the Detroit Tigers, 6-3," in other American League action. In the National League, the San Francisco Giants edged out the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, the Los Angeles Dodgers tripped the Cincinnati Reds, 5-4, and the Milwaukee Braves beat the Houston Colts, 3-0. Pace Twins’ Attack Zoilo Versalles’ triple, doubles by Jim Kaat and Vic Power and singles by Power and Bob Allison were the big blows of a 10hit Minnesota attack. Kaat went 7 1-3 innings to receive credit for his seventh win with Bill Dailey, I making his seventh relief appearance in nine days, finishing up. Gary Geiger's two-run ninth-in-ning homer enabled Red Sox reliever Jack Lamabe to win his third game after the Indians had tied the score in the seventh on a two-run homer by Willie Kirkland. Chuck Schilling and Lou Clinton also homered for the Red Sox while Kirkland had three hits for the Indians. Jim Fregosi’s single scored Ed Sadowski and capped a three-run game-winning Angel rally in the eighth after Claude Osteen had pitched a two-hit shutout for seven innings for the Senators. Hank Foiles sparked the rally with a homer, and other key hits were singles by Lee Thomas, Sadowski and Albie Pearson. Relief pitcher Art Fowler won his second game for the Angels. Bobby Del Greco and Ken Harrelson hit two-run homers to offset one by Bill Bruton and enable Ed Rakow to win his seventh game for Kansas City. John Wyatt shut out the Tigers for the last 1 2-3 innings, striking out three. Norm Cash had three hit# for Detroit.
