But the'pickoff attempt was in the dirt and skipped past Pete Rose into right field. Wilson raced around to third base on the error. After White flied out, George Brett drilled a 1-1 pitch down the right-field line, scoring Wilson.

It looked like a double, but Brett hustled it into three bases, sliding hard into third. He needn't have bothered, because Aikens was up next. The strapping first baseman hit an 0-1 pitch on a line over 'the 365-foot sign in right field. The ball fell just short of the waterfalls that decorate the area beyond the outfield wall in this beautiful ballpark. That made it 3-0 for Kansas City, but the Royals didn't stop there.

Designated hitter Hal McRae drilled a base hit to center and hustled it into a double. When Amos Otis followed with another double for a 4-0 lead, it finished Christenson, with Dickie Noles relieving. Christenson had made 22 pitches in his brief stay and allowed 12 total bases. A walk to Clint Hurdle and an infield single by U.L. Washington loaded the bases, but Noles retired Wilson to end the inning.

Preble, previously 5-1 overall, was ranked No. 8 in the recent AP poll. Sheboygan South entered the game 0-6.

The Packers had just been beaten badly for the third week in a row. There was daily speculation about Coach Bart Starr's job status. The team's offense, dormant through the pre-sea-son, was showing only scant evidence of improvement. And awaiting the Packers were the Cincinnati Bengals (a team coming off a victory over Pittsburgh and a narrow loss to Houston) and the defending National Conference runnerup Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That was three weeks ago.
