Sunday Nwt Journal, Wilmington, Septmbr 14, 1980 B-7 Carlton scored decisive run in sixth of some Cardinals sluggers turned slugs. Pittsburgh might not be so charitable. PHILS FACTS The Cards scored in the second when Hendrick singled, advanced on a wild pitch and Boone's throwing error and scored on a single by Landrum The Phillies are adding a left-handed reliever for the second day in a row. Joining new acquisition Sparky Lyle in the bullpen is Kevin Saucier, fresh from the disabled list. Saucier went on the infirmiry roll Aug.

He'll face Silvio Martinez, 5-9 Carlton is 5-0 against the Cards this year. i V1 -tv Continued from B-l bolted for the plate. Pete Rose's relay awaited him. It was a mighty strange 5-3-2 double play.

"If we were playing in an indoor stadium like the Astrodome, it (Hendrick's bouncer) would've hit the roof, that's how high it was," Instead, Schoendienst hit the roof. And he wasn't too happy about the Cards' sixth, either. Tony Scott led off with a single to right and Hernandez doubled him to third. Carlton held the runners on Simmons' grounder to a drawn-in infield, walked Hendrick intentionally, then struck out Tito Landrum and got Ken Reitz on a force. "It was a helluva performance," said Phillies' Manager Dallas Green, beating the drum for Carlton as he has justifiably all year.

"Consider the innings he has pitched (271) and consider the team he pitched against. Those guys can swing the bats." Carlton swings the bat well, too. He figured prominently in the game-winning sixth inning and scored the decisive run. Bob Boone led off with a double to left and Carlton singled sharply to center with Boone stopping at third. At this point, Forsch, 11-9, unveiled a nasty curve.

The veteran right-hander, who signed a six-year contract last week, is known for one of the league's finest hooks. This time it was just a little too nasty. First, on a 1-2 count, one nosedived onto Rose's right foot, loading the bases. Then, with Bake McBride up, same count, same pitch, same result. Tie game.

Schmidt broke the tie with a moon shot 405 feet away in center. The sacrifice fly scored Carlton. It was Schmidt's 12th game-winning RBI. If pitchers weren't the only recipients of saves, Garry Madddx and Manny Trillo would warrant one each for pulling Carlton through a rocky eighth. Maddox flagged down Scott's leadoff drive to left-center, getting a great jump and backhanding it in full stride.

One out and two baserunners later, Trillo saved a tie by ranging to the shortstop side of second to grab Landrum's hard, ground-skimming drive. He shoveled the ball to Larry Bowa for a force. Carlton needed no help in the ninth, finishing flamboyantly with two strikeouts for a total of five to raise his major league-leading total to 257. The last victim, surprisingly, was Forsch. The Cards pitcher is hitting .301 and, with three homers in 74 at-bats, he is a superior longball threat, compared to Terry Kennedy and the other right-handed hitters on the St.

Louis bench. Long-balling, hitting of any kind, is a concern to Green as the Phils leave tomorrow, an open date, for a seven-game road trip. The Pirates, the not-yet-dead Bucs, will host the first two. "It (weak hitting) has to be a little cause for concern," said Green. "We're all a little sluggish right now."

Sparky can get us over the hump. He's going to be a plus because we are at a need stage right now." Owens, the Phils' player personnel director, came close to landing the former New York Yankee relief ace during the winter meetings last December.

The last reported deal had the Phils sending McGraw, Larry Christenson and Bake McBride to the Rangers for Lyle and outfielder John Grubb. The deal was reportedly nixed because Lyle, who was dealt to Texas prior to the 1979 season, had a personal services contract with the Rangers after his retirement as a player. He was supposed to receive an estimated a year for 10 years as a member of the team's radio-TV team. "I was not going to burden Ruly Carpenter with that kind of an obligation," said Owens. "We have been negotiating with Texas for several months, but the breakthrough came when Sparky and the Rangers worked out something on that broadcasting thing.

We are not involved in that at all." iawn amir-tbttt i run Kauai iw pipe TO Lyle, in his 15th major-league season, will not be eligible for the playoffs or World Series. Another consideration in going after Lyle is the fact that McGraw may very well test the free-agent market. "We're not going to talk to Tug until after the season about the contract," said Owens. "I know he wants to stay here, but we have to think about the possibility he may go the free-agent route." Lyle, author of "The Bronx Zoo," based on his days with the Yankees, was expected to arrive here late last night and be in uniform today. He will wear No.

39. Dodgers get Frias CINCINNATI (AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers obtained infielder Pepe Frias from the Texas Rangers yesterday in exchange for pitcher Dennis Lewallyn and cash. Frias, 32, hit .242 in 116 games with the Rangers. He was the Atlanta Braves' regular shortstop last season, hitting .259 in 140 games: The Dodgers lost regular shortstop Bill Russell on Friday when he fractured his right index finger in a game against the Cincinnati Reds. Instead, the Phils will pay Lyle an estimated $400,000 through 1982.

He had a guaranteed contract with the Rangers through 1981 and part of the agreement that brought him here was a year's extension. "To get him, he had to clear waivers," said Owens. "We're not only getting him for this year, but also for down the road. I feel we have the starters and I feel Sparky can pitch not just the next three weeks, but also a few more years." Lyle had a 13-5 record and 26 saves in 1977 as the Yankees won the World Series. But after they obtained Rich Gossage, Lyle was no longer the ace of the relief corps.

To be effective, Lyle has to work frequently. That did not happen his last year in New York, nor this summer in Texas. Lyle has been in only 49 games so far this year for the Rangers. He had a 3-2 record, a 4.69 earned run average and led the team in saves with eight. He has pitched very little since July.

Last year he had 13 saves. "My mood is that I'm elated," said Green, who as recently as Friday night admitted he was worried about overworking McGraw down the homestretch. "I just wish we could have had him all year." Blah "mm wow General TW 0, lhe in Jc coach ww mA anu see wen' and Wris HO too late. credit to too late. credOV Vs mm Continued from B-l field and perform just like they did last December at Albuquerque (site of the Hens' Division II national championship)," he said.

"Frankly, they played just about like I expected them to play. They have not been tackling well in practice and have been making a lot of the mistakes that cost us penalties. Maybe they had the notion West Chester was going to be easier than it was." This, then, was a sobering experience for them. "I don't know if sobering is the right word" said Raymond. "We're just not as far along as some of the kids thought we were.

They have to establish more quickness; they have to eliminate all the mistakes. It was not a classic, but you can't complain about a victory. And remember this. West Chester played an outstanding game with the personnel it has." There were some obvious plusses, even to the large number of tail-gaters who decided to forget about the second half and swill their toddies. The Blue Hens kept the ball after the opening kickoff for 9 minutes, 15 seconds before Gino Olivieri scored from the 2.

That score completed a 75-yard march over the dust and. burned-out grass. And Scully's 37-yard, second-period touchdown strike to Rudy Brown was one of the few electrifying moments during the scorching-hot afternoon. When you push Raymond into a corner and ask about conditioning, he usually comes out fighting. "I think we're in good condition," he It appeared then that maybe the Hens had not come back physically from a long, grueling preseason camp.

They came up short. "That might be," said Raymond. "The camp was longer than usual this year. It was almost like a concentration-camp routine. At the end, there was not enough to do.

It seemed like it lasted forever." No matter how much talking Ray-, mond did, he obviously had trouble convincing his troops to be fearful of Westchester. The Blue Hens have not beaten Temple since 1976 and only twice since 1971. So forget -about yesterday's warmup. The season opens next Saturday night. Join us for a day of great fun and games.
