Cubs Sweep Three From Atlanta ATLANTA (UPI) Thad Bosley showed Thursday night why he is the best pinch hitter in the National League. Bosley drilled a ninth- inning pinch hit homer to give the Chicago Cubs a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves and a sweep of their three-game series with the Braves.

Bosley drilled a 3-2 pitch deep over the right-center field fence to lead off the ninth inning. "I was looking for a pitch I could drive," Bosley said. "At 3-2, I didn't think he wanted to walk me. He got another pitch out over the plate. I got my hand through there, and the ball jumped." Bosley, batting for winning reliever Ron Meridith, 2-0, ripped his fifth homer off Rick Camp, now 2-6.

Bosley leads the National League with 16 pinch hits. Lee Smith pitched the ninth for his 27th save. Braves' first baseman Bob Homer admitted the season is all but over for the Braves. "You've got to play for pride the rest of the way," Horner said. "Obviously, we don't have any kind of chance at winning the pennant or even really finshing too high." Atlanta tied the score 2-2 in the seventh.

Pinch-hitter Gerald Perry led off with a walk and went to second on Milt Thompson's infield single to knock out starter Derek Botelho. Reliever Warren Brusstar got Rafael Ramirez to hit into a force out, leaving runners at first and third. Dale Murphy reached on Brusstar's error, allowing Perry to score and advance Ramirez to second. Bob Horner followed with an RBI double. Sox 3 At Chicago Willie Wilson had two triples and Steve Balboni homered to propell the Royals over the White Sox.

Balboni's 26th home run, a two-run shot in the sixth inning, was the game-winner. Danny Jackson, 12-7, struck out eight and was the winner. Joel Davis, 1-1, took the loss. Mets7, GiantsO At New York, Darryl Strawberry drove in four runs and Terry Leach, 2-1, hurled a three-hitter to lead the Mets to their 14th victory in 18 games. Strawberry hit a two-run homer off loser Vida Blue, 5-6, in the sixth inning and added a two-run infield single in the seventh as the Mets notched their 14th victory in the last 18 games.

Cardinals 2, Astros 1 At Houston, pinch hitter Brian Harper singled in a run and reliever Bill Dawley Major League Roundup walked Mike Jorgensen with the bases loaded to highlight a two-run ninth inning that gave the Cardinals their victory. The triumph enabled St. Louis to remain one-half behind the first-place Mets in the NL East. Phillies 2, Dodgers 0 At Philadelphia Shane Rawley allowed only four hits while blanking the Dodgers. Rawley, 10-6, struck out three and walked three posting his first shutout since July 17, 1983, when he was with the New York Yankees.

Padres 3, Expos 0 At Montreal, Andy Hawkins, 16-4, pitched a four-hitter to spark San Diego to victory. Steve Garvey doubled home two runs in the third inning for the Padres. The loss was the fourth straight for the Expos, who have been blanked in three of those games. Pirates 5, Reds 1 At Pittsburgh, Rick Rhoden went 2-for-3, drove in a run and scattered six hits in eight innings in lifting the Pirates to victory. Cincinnati player-manager Pete Rose collected a single in four at-bats to move within 13 hits of breaking Ty Cobb's career record of 4,191.

Angels 3, Yankees 2 At Anaheim Mike Witt, 11-7, struck out 10 and allowed eight hits and pinch-hitter Bob Boone's two-out single in the bottom of the ninth helped the Angels snap the Yankees' seven-game winning streak. Boone's single drove in Bobby Grich with the winn- ingrun. Mariners 4, Orioles 2 At Seattle, Phil Bradley drove in three runs with a double and homer, and Matt Young scattered five hits to record his first victory since June 25 to help lead the Mariners. At Oakland, Darrell Evans led off the 13th inning with his 28th home run, lifting the Tigers. Evans' shot to right field came off Keith Atherton, 4-5.

Bill Scherrer, 2-1, was the winner. Red Sox 8, Rangers 4 At Boston Mike Trujillo scattered eight hits and did not walk a batter in eight innings and Rich Gedman, EWade Boggs and Dwight Evans had run-scoring singles to help the Boston Red Sox snap a six-game losing streak.

As in the past few years Logan must avoid injuries because of depth problems. "Injuries could be a big factor," Baldini said. "But I do think we have filled the positions that we needed to better than we had anticipated." Against another rugged North Central Conference schedule the going very well." The reason for all this optimism is the return of the entire starting offensive faackfield and the leadership of the team's seniors.

"Our strong points are our offensive backfield and our senior leadership. We have everybody back in the backfield and we think that's a plus," Baldini said. Among those returning in the backfield are quarterback Scott Anspach, who completed 55 percent of his passes for over 800 yards and seven touchdowns while guiding the Berries over the last half of the season. "Just like last year Scott doesn't look spectacular in practice but he gets the job done," Baldini said. "He's steady.

We can run him and he's just a heads-up quarterback." Also back are tailback Tom Williams, who rushed for over 1,000 yards, and fullback Chris Rozzi, both starters a year ago. ing Miller will hold doown the line with McFatridge. We know what he can do," Baldini said of Miller. "He's one of the best we've had in a long time. Mark has real good hands and is a real good blocker." Also at guard with Miller will be Pat Keller, Jim Kistler and Mark Baker.

Other tight ends are juniors Eric Jordan and Tony Hardin. The starting tackle positions will be manned by juniors Ted Friedline, who moves there from fullback, and Bob Newcom, who missed last year after knee surgery. Others at tackle are senior Danny Mclntyre and juniors Pat Rombold and Mike Haynes. Junior Joey Ricci will start at center. "He's looked good and come a long way since last year," said Baldini.

Junior Tom Shannon will also play center. At the receiving positions senior Mick Schoenradt, who also the backup quarterback, and senior Matt Chentnik.
