Six run seventh gives Milwaukee 7 5 victory Related story pago 7C By Greg Boeck Gannett News Service MILWAUKEE Staring a third straight win or else Sunday In the eye mainly because of their own carelessness the Milwaukee" Brewers rallied for six runs with two out during a made for Hollywood seventhseventh inning script Saturday to stun the St. Louis Cardinals. 7 5. It was an Inning that should have been over even before the first Brewer run crossed the plate. Not one run was earned.

It was a game that should have ended with the Cardinals leading three games to one in this 7tth World Series, with a chance to win it all today. The Brewers would have been facing a deficit from which only four teams have recovered. Instead, the Series is tied at 2 2. If not for a throw that ex Brewer Dave LaPolnt dropped on a routine first baseman to pitcher play, this one might have ended Cardinals 5, Brewers 1. Except for the collapse of the Cardinals' relievers, this one might have ended with Bob Forsch going for the clincher this afternoon against Mike Caldwell.

Game Six will be played in St. Louis Tuesday night. Game Seven, if necessary, will be played Wednesday night in St. Louis. Yesterday's Cardinal goats were many, and all were pitchers starter LaPolnt.

Doug Balr, Jim Kaat. Jeff Lahti. LaPoint's error may have hurt, but the inability of the relievers to get anybody out In crucial situations was fatal. There were as many heroes Robin Yount, Cecil Cooper, Gorman Thomas, Bob McClure In this Incredible Tale of the Turnaround, one that accented once again the Brewers' amazing resiliency. "The only time we don't come back Is when the game is over and there are no outs left." said Thomas, the Brewers' biggest hero.

It was Thomas who drove in the tie breaking runs in the same inning he started off with a meek foul pop to catcher Dan ell Porter. It all started to unfold for the Brewers and unravel for the Cardinals in the seventh inning, when Milwaukee sent 12 batters to the i i mfmmrmmmrmmm JeeassssajjssrY" sjBsjsasjsnilJBBXeBegeBBjXjBagxeBSB gaaaaar Sj'jTgsTajWPsjSW'SJBSTar i vMse SsnaaaaaaaaHSBBBBBBBa Saw 46)aaasswHsB sflHgagiPVrgiHL. mKmmmjtKKKHttKm' BKPNjEY SsnaaaaaaanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanBnaaaaaaaaBe JgtftRStfS SBXsvrT )jjwaqsBlsaslSeLBBE it 9 Tho Associated Pros Ozzle Smith slides safely across the plate as the ball gets past Milwaukee catcher Ted Simmons, with umpire Dave Phillips and coach Chuck Hiller looking on.

The Brewers were down, 5 1. They had given the Cardinals four tainted runs in the first two innings two on a sacrifice fly and had failed miserably at the plate. A Milwaukee County Stadium crowd of 56,560 wasn't chanting "Go Brewers Go!" any longer. With an eye on another back lo the wall Sunday, reminiscent of the series against Baltimore and California, the crowd had booed the Brewers this day. And so the seventh began with Thomas prolonging a horrendous end of the season slump by popping out to Porter for the second straight time.

He disgustedly walked back to the dugout, and in stepped Ben Ogli vie to face LaPoint. To this point, the lefty had checked the Brewers on five hits and allowed Just one run. LaPoint got Oglivie to hit a chopper to. first baseman Keith Hernandez, who had to leap to make the stop of a bad hop. But it still looked like a routine play until La Point, covering first, dropped the baseball.

the scorebook. It was the biggest error of this Series, and surely of LaPoint's brief major league career, because the Brewers followed with six unearned runs, all after two 'were out. "I might have taken my eye off the ball to look at Oglivie. The ball hit me right here." said LaPoint, pointing to the palm of his glove. "It was a bad break.

That error gave them life." See BREWERS, page 2C Army holds off Princeton, 2b 14 CoKogo roundup 8 'C By Donna Cassata Journal staff PRINCETON, J. Army quarterback Rich Laughlln's 56 yard touchdown run allowed the Cadets to go ahead for the first time in a 20 14 comeback win over Princeton Saturday. But Laughlln had to wait a while before he could fully enjoy the run. The 6 foot 2 junior had to wait in disbelief as Princeton faked a punt and picked up a first down at the Army 39 with Tennessee surprises Alabama KNOXVILLE. Tenn.

(AP) Coach Johnny Majors of Tennessee was almost speechless Saturday after his two touchdown underdog Vols upset second ranked Alabama 35 28 in a Southeastern Conference football game. "There is just really no way for a fellow like me to put into words what this team and its assistant coaching staff did today," Majors said. "Normally after a win, you have a few choice words to say. and after a loss, you comment on certain segments of the team," he added. "But after this game, it's Just hard to put into words what I feel." The Vols sprung the upset behind two touchdown passes from Alan CockrelL four field goals by Fuad Revels and a clinching 34 yard scoring run by Chuck Coleman in the fourth quarter.

After building a 15 21 lead. the Vols survived a late touchdown and a later threat to secure the victory. "The last six minutes were an eternity." said Majors. He called it "by far the outstanding victory" at Tennessee, saying. "This one will always Vemain In my memory until I die.

There are none greater than this one." "I think they beat us worse than the score indicated." said coach Paul "Bear" Bryant of Alabama, iwho was denied his 321st lifetime victory. "I never like to lose and certainly don't like to lose now, but it could be good for us, for me. for our staff, our players and the veteran coach added. "It will teach us. at least, what you have to do to win." Bryant congratulated Majors for See VOLS, page 6C 2:35 remaining.

And he had to watch an apparent go ahead Tiger touchdown pass that was nullified because of an offensive interference call. Finally, with 57 seconds showing on the Palmer Stadium scoreboard and Princeton facing a fourth and 24 situation at the Army 24, defensive back Kevin Murphy broke up a potential touchdown pass in the end zone. Army had its third win in six outings, Princeton dropped to 2 3 overall and Laughlin could celebrate. He also could laugh and joke while discussing the game winning score. 9 Tough to stop Ruff Buffalo' Lindy Ruff (22) shoots the puck past Washington goalie Dave Parro during the Sabres' 9 2 victory Saturday night.

Hockey roundup, page 2C. Islanders beat Kings, 4 1 By Bob Glauber Special to the Journal DNIONDALE, L.I. The Los Angeles Kings threw' everything they could at the New York Islanders Saturday night including the first Russian ever to play in a National Hockey' League game. But the results were predictable all the same as the Islanders cruised to a 4 1 victory in front of 15.160 fans at Nassau Coliseum. Victor Nechaev became the first Soviet to play in the NHL, but that was about the only piece of drama the Kings produced against the red hot 'Isles.

Nechaev, 27, a former player for the Red Army team, was recalled by the Kings from their New Haven farm club for the weekend's games against the Islanders and the Rangers (tonight at Madison Square Garden). Nechaev saw plenty of ice time, but his efforts couldn't rescue the "Kings, who suffered their first loss of the season '(2 1 2). The Islanders, meanwhile, racked up their fifth straight win. See ISLANDERS, page 2C "It was an option to the right and I audibled to my left." said Laughlin, whose run gave Army a 1714 lead and cappeda comeback from a 14 0 deficit. "I got great blocking, especially from Pete Edmonds." The touchdown was scored midway through the third quarter with Army trailing 14 10.

After two runs by Andre Cuerington gave Army a third and four situation at the Princeton 44, Laughlin broke through the middle and raced 56 yards for the touchdown. See ARMY, page 2C Arizona upsets Irish SOUTH BEND. Ind. (AP) Max Zendejas. a 19 year old freshman who comes from a kicking family, never saw his 48 yard field goal clear the crossbar Saturday as time ran out.

But clear the crossbar it did and the kick gave Arizona a 16 13 upset victory over ninth ranked and previouslypreviously undefeated Notre Dame. "I was knocked down as I kicked It." said Zendejas. "Then my teammates started yelling and jumping on me, so I knew that I had made it. I was kind of nervous, because I'd missed two already sol just concentrated harder." Zendejas, whose brother Luis recently kicked five field goals in one game for Arizona State and whose cousin Tony kicks for Nevada Reno, might have been nervous. But Arizona coach Larry Smith said.

"I was absolutely then worried when I saw the flag drop." The Irish were called for roughing the kicker when Zendejas was knocked to the ground. The penalty was declined. Smith, whose Wildcats had played to a tie with 12th ranked UCLA a week earlier, said, "We weren't satisfied with the tie. We were angry, upset and frustrated. Those emotions turned out to be positive aspects this week.

"There have been other victories, but this has to be the most prestigious," added Smith, whose team is now 1 2 2. "Give Arizona credit," said Notre Dame coach Gerry Faust, whose See ARIZONA, page 6C Tho Associated Press.
