FIRST SECOND THIRD SECTION CLASSIFIED THE MORNING CALL THURSDAY JUNE 8, 1989 J1U PhiiSSe defeat mood. lines Soviet will play Chang -40. 4 1 Daulton's RBI single sparks three-run 8th By DON BOSTROM Of The Morning Call PHILADELPHIA The Phillies came through in the pinch to produce a whacky 7-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates last night at the Vet. Manager Nick Leyva deftly used four pinch-hitters during a three-run eighth inning rally that snapped a 4-4 tie. Von Hayes started the uprising with a walk against loser Bob Kipper.

Eandy Kramer relieved and Hayes stole second base. Dwayne Murphy, pinch hitter No. 1, was intentionally walked. John Kruk, who had a rocky night in the field (see below for gory details), legged out an infield single to load the bases. Curt Ford, pinch hitter No.

2, provided a pick-up with an RBI single to left. Darren Daulton, third man in off the bench, plated two more runs with a line drive single off Benny DiStefano's glove at first. Steve Jeltz, the final pinch hitter, missed a suicide squeeze bunt attempt to trap one runner before flying out The real fun came early when Kruk was the victim of what will be the most discussed defensive crime by a Philadelphia left fielder since Oct 7, 1977, the "Black Friday" playoff game against Los Angeles when Danny Ozark kept Jerry Martin on the bench in the ninth inning and Manny Mota looped a double off Greg Luzinski's glove.

Chang, a 17-year-old Californian, suffered no letdown yesterday after his stunning upset over, Ivan Lendl. He beat Ronald Agenor 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 and became the youngest player ever to gain the last four in Paris. Chesnokov also reached a milestone, becoming the first Soviet since Alex Metreveli at Wimbledon in 1973 to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam event In the other semifinal tomorrow, Boris Becker will face Stefan Edberg. It will be the first time in six years that the French Open title will go to someone other than Wilander or Lendl. At 17 years, 3 months, Chang is the youngest male player in 56 years to reach a Grand Slam semifinal.

He is also seeking to become the first American to win the French Open in 34 years. Chang, who fought leg cramps Please See FRENCH Page C9 By STEPHEN R. WILSON Of The Associated Press PARIS How much is beating Mats Wilander worth? Andrei Chesnokov, who upset the defending French Open champion yesterday to reach the semifinals against American teen-ager Michael Chang, knows exactly: $73,000. But how much the Soviet player gets to keep of that prize money is another story. "I want to keep my secret about prize money," Chesnokov said.

"I will take some, maybe not $73,000. Maybe a less little. Maybe $72,000." He said he's already making plans on how to spend the cash. "Maybe I'll buy a ticket to the United States before going back to Moscow," Chesnokov said. He also said would donate money to victims of a gas pipeline explosion that engulfed two passenger trains in the Ural Mountains earlier this week.

Like his Soviet teammate Natalia Zvereva, Chesnokov has been fighting Soviet sports authorities for the right to keep most of his earnings.

The De troit Pistons are convinced that de fense will carry them to the NBA championship. "Our defense is so keyed in, it's like trying to break through a brick wall or climb a barbed wire lence, said Dennis Rodman, whose 10 re bounds Tuesday night gave him six straight games in double figures.

Dave Norwood drafted by Indians John Deutsch selected by Dodgers The Pistons' 109-97 victory gave them a 1-0 lead going into tonight's Game 2 of the best-of-7 NBA Finals. It was the 16th consecutive game they allowed less than 100 points, including 14 in the playoffs. Detroit has allowed an average of Two local players get their chance at 'The Show' 90.5 points in those 14 games. The record low for points allowed is 94.6 by the 1971 champion Milwaukee Bucks, who gave up less than luu points in iu of 14 playoff games. The Lakers, averaging 113.5 points while winning their first 11 playoff games, played without Byron Scott, who was out with a hamstring injury, and got subpar performances from By TED MEIXELL Of The Morning Call Magic Johnson and James wortny.

"I have to do more and be more assertive," said Johnson, who had 17 points and 14 assists but was held to 12 field-goal attempts. "I have to do more than take 12 shots. I have to step up." The 21-year old righthander estimated the likelihood of that is, "Probably about 80-20 in favor." Deutsch's collegiate stats were nothing less than awesome. As a senior, he batted .429 with 16 home runs and 70 RBI. His four-year career marks included a .394 average, 58 home runs and 236 RBI.

His season and career home run and RBI totals are Montclair records. He was a three-time American Baseball Coaches Association Division 3 Ail-American and he was the most valuable player in the 1987 Division 3 College World Series, when Montclair State won the national championship. 11 1 1 11 1 s- Worthy also scored 17 points, but Associated Press was 6-for-18 from the field.

TX ZZ Deutsch, who admits he was very disappointed when he was not drafted after his junior year, was re Another longshot like Temperence Hil xa rt lieved the Dodgers selected him Monday.

"I didn't want the same thing to happen as last year. I finally got a 1'tt chance. Thats all I wanted, a chance. UN- is- Now it up to me. He was pleasantly surprised by J- his fifth-round selection and that the All John Deutsch and Dave Norwood ever really wanted, frankly, was a chance to demonstrate that they have what it takes to become major league baseball players or to find out for themselves that they don't Both Lehigh Valley youngsters, who were rivals in high school, will now get that chance.

Deutsch, a strapping, 6-5 Phillips-burg grad who went on to become the most prolific power hitter ever at Montclair State College, was selected (Monday) in the fifth round of the major league's June amateur draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers. One day later, he agreed upon "a five-digit bonus," and signed on the dotted line. He'll depart tomorrow and report to "Dodgertown" in Vero Beach, for a 10-day training camp. After that he'll be off to Great Falls, Mont. There, he'll begin his professional baseball career with the Dodgers' Gass A rookie league team.

Norwood, who starred for four years at Freedom, went on to become the ace of Lehigh University's staff and the Engineers' most valuable player two straight years. He was the top pitcher for the Quaker-town Blazers of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League last year and, until yesterday, figured to be the Blazers' top dog again. Yesterday, though, that probably changed Norwood was taken in the 40th round by the Cleveland Indians, who made Jeff Mutis of Central Catholic and Lafayette the 27th player drafted overall in the 1987 draft Some time either today or tomorrow, an Indians official will visit Norwood's Bethlehem Township home for contract talks. If he signs, he'll fly to "The Boardwalk and Baseball" in Orlando, Saturday yf morning to launch his pro career. I' Dodgers had chosen him.

"Fifth is really good because I'm a senior," he said. "Seniors usually don't go that high. And, believe it or not, I didn't expect the Dodgers at all. I thought it might be the Pirates, the White Sox or the urioles; tney had all shown some interest. "But I'm very happy it was L.A.

It's one of the best organizations around. "I think it may take me a little Triple Crown races, including a grueling stretch battle in the Preakness. Like the trainers of the other Belmont challengers. Kelly thinks those races could hurt the favorites on Saturday. "When a horse races that hard, it takes its toll down the road," he said.

"Maybe he'll still look good and act good, but it takes something away mentally. You have to be a little leary when your horse has been through something like that." However, Kelly concedes that the rest of the field will be running for third place if Sunday Silence and Easy Goer are at their best "To think otherwise would be foolish," he said. "Sunday Silence and Easy Goer are clearly the class of the field. All you can do is keep your fingers crossed and hope for a little luck." Imbibe has won four of 15 career starts, including an impressive six-length victory in the Peter Pan at Belmont on May 28. Six Peter Pan winners have gone on to win the lVb-mile Belmont Stakes Please See BELMONT Page C9 By RICK WARNER Of The Associated Press NEW YORK Imbibe doesn't look like his father, but trainer Tim Kelly hopes the colt races like him in the Belmont Stakes.

Temperence Hill was a 53-1 shot when he won the 1980 Belmont. Imbibe, who is much smaller than his powerful papa, also will be a long shot when he goes to the post Saturday for the final leg of the Triple Crown. "If he can do what his daddy did, I'll be very happy," Kelly said. Imbibe and eight other colts are expected be entered against Sunday Silence and Easy Goer, who finished 1-2 in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. Sunday Silence will try to become the 12th Triple Crown winner and first since Affirmed in 1978, while Easy Goer wants to avoid the fate of his sire Alydar, who was runnerup to Affirmed in all three races.

Sunday Silence and Easy Goer engaged in draining duels in the first two while to adjust but, if I can improve quicker than my age, I believe 1 may some day play in the majors. "It's rare that they draft a 22-year old as high as No. 5 so, if I want to advance, I'll have to show some progress right away." Deutsch is a first baseman, but the Dodgers told him he might see some action as an outfielder. "They told me," Deutsch said, Associated Press Triple Crown hopeful Sunday Silence stretches his legs after ride to the stables. Please See DRAFT Page C9 1.
