THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Indians Idle Until Sunday Double Bill Slaughter Millers Thursday as Love Hurls Great Ball; Take Series. B’t 7 imes Special MINNEAPOLIS, May 17.—As a mark of appreciation over the fact they were to get two days’ vacation from the diamond, the Indians of Bruno Betzel stepped out in the series wind-up with the Millers Thursday and committed baseball | slaughter by walloping the home pastimers, 10 to 1. And the victory gave the Tribe the series, two games to one, despite the reputation the Millers’ have built up for being mighty clouters. Ruel (Texas) Love, the genial right-hander, held the locals to six hits while the Betzelites collected thirteen, including a home run by Barnhart and doubles by Matthews and Connolly. It was a case of too much Love for the Millers, and until the sixth inning they were held to | one safety. He walked only one man and struck out three, and the i lone Miller run was the result of a "break” for Shirley when he got Ia homer in the seventh when Matj thews missed a shoe string catch and the ball escaped him and rolled to the fence. The Indians’ big round was the sixth, when ten batters went to the plate and five runs scored before | the side was retired and Brillheart j had been knocked out of the box. ! Dumont, Pate and Benton were j other pitchers used by Mike Kelley. 1 Barnhart’s circuit clout over the left j field fence was struck off in this ! rally with Layne on ahead. Joe Sprinz had a perfect day with three hits and two walks. nun The Indians left Minneapolis Thursday, night Thev are not scheduled to play todav. and the Saturday date at Louisville' has been postponed on account or the Kentucky Derby and will be played as a part of a double header Sunday. It tt tt Miller hurlers issued eleven passes, Brillheart giving eight of the number. Barnhart and Monahan each walked three times. tt V n Karl Swanson, rookie infielder. broke into the hit column with two safeties. Connolly swiped two bases ana Matthews one. tt tt tt Layne made a diving catch on Smith in the fifth. tt tt tt When the Indians scored five markers in the sixth session it made their run total six, but they weren’t satisfied and rallied in the eighth for another cluster of four. Barnhart drove in three of the Tribe’s ten runs. tt tt tt Roth teams took exception to the decisions of Umpire McCafferty and Manager Betze! was banished tn the fifth and Bill Mever. Miller assistant manager, got the gate in the seventh. tt tt tt Two double plays were executed by the Betzelites and Metz was in both. He worked well at short in the absence of j Warstler, who is recovering slowly from j a bad spike wound received Monday. tt tt tt It wasn’t Love’s turn to pitch, but Manager Betzel decided he had the stuff to lick the Millers and Ken Fenner was saved for one of the tilts with the Colonels at Louisville Sunday. tt tt a The 1978 champions won five and lost seven on the swing around the western half of the circuit. They won two and lost two at Kansas City, dropped the only two played at. Milwaukee, won one and j lost two at St. Faul and won two and lost one in Minneapolis. tt n tt The four eastern A. A. clubs were 'traveling todav and the two tilts on the schedule were Minneapolis at St. Paul and Milwaukee at Kansas City. In twenty-five starts against the western rivals, the Indians snared thirteen and lost twelve. They are In fourth place, the only .eastern team included in the first division.
