October 12, 1983-11 Herald-Times-Reporter, Manitowoc Two Riven, Wis. Home runs break up pitching battle Philadelphia claims first game of World Series Bv HAL BOCK AP Sports Writer BALTIMORE (AP) -Philadelphia's Garry Maddox and Joe Morgan found two of Scott McGregor's 83 pitches to their liking, and the resulting home runs proved decisive in the opening game of the 1983 World Series. McGregor and winning pitcher John Denny were superb in a classic pitching duel, neither making many mistakes in the strike zone and fewer out of it in the first walkless Series game since 1967. So sharp was McGregor that he threw about 40 fewer pitches than one could expect in an eight-inning performance. But Morgan's game-tying homer in the sixth inning and Maddox' game-winner" in the eighth rendered those numbers inconsequential, All that really mattered was that the Phillies had a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series on the strength of a 2-1 victory Tuesday night over the Baltimore Orioles.

The Orioles, who live by the home run, scored their only run in that fashion when Jim Dwyer connected in the first inning. But Denny was clearly in control until the first hint of late trouble. That came in the eighth, but vanished quickly when Manager Paul Owens reached into his bullpen for Al Holland. The ace Philadelphia reliever mowed down the last four Oriole hitters to nail down the victory on a rainy, windy night more suited for football than baseball. Dwyer was the Orioles' second batter of the game and he jumped on a pitch down the middle, sending it soaring over the right field fence to become the 18th man in history to hit a home run in his first World Series at-bat.

"I was just trying to get on base," said Dwyer, who hit just eight homers during the regular season and is not known for his power. "I knew before the game it was going to be a low-scoring contest." "Dwyer hit his pitch," Denny decided. "It was not a good pitch to throw." "A fastball down the middle," noted Dwyer. I wasn't going to be taking. If I got a pitch I can handle, I was going to try and hit it hard.

He did that, drilling the first pitch well over the left field fence for the homer that gave the Phillies the lead. McGregor confirmed Maddox' diagnosis. "He hit a fastball pretty much ere I wanted to throw it, but he smoked it." In the bottom of the eighth, Denny retired the first two batters and then gave up a double to Al Bumbry. Owens beat a quick path to the mound, and in came Holland. "I wasn't out of gas," said Denny, "but I understood what had to be done." "He's a (Goose) Gossage type," Owens said of Holland.

"My bullpen is great. When we get into the sixth inning, I know which way I'm going." When Holland arrived, the Orioles went south for the night. "I threw them nothing but fastballs," the left-handed reliever said. "There was nothing fancy about it. They knew it was coming.

It was just 'Hit it if you television. But Morgan laughs at the suggestion that he ought to be doing that just because there were so many candles on his last birthday cake. "First I was too short to play this game," said Morgan, who's all of 5-foot-7. "Now I'm too old. I don't worry about that." He had supplied the Phillies with their first hit off M-cGregor in the fourth -inning and this time, he tied the score.

"Any time I come to the plate when we're one run down, I try to drive the ball to the right side," Morgan said. "I don't really try to hit the ball out, just go for the extra base hit. You can't think, 'I've got to hit a home run and tie the I just try to hit the ball hard to right center." And the homer? "It was a good pitch," said Morgan. "It was down." After McGregor breezed through the seventh, Maddox opened the eighth for the Phillies. "The previous two at-bats, he had thrown me all fastballs," the Phillie center fielder said.

"I figured he'd try to get ahead.

It was to be Denny's only major mistake and, on this night, he could afford only one. The run stood up through five innings as McGregor pitched airtight baseball. The Oriole left-hander had two out in the sixth and on the Phillie bench, Owens started to squirm. Just a week ago, Owens had seen the Phillies' Mike Schmidt beat Los with a first-inning homer, in the opening game of the National League Championship Series.

"Honestly," he said, "I thought about it a couple of times. But I felt we would come back." Morgan was the next Phillie hitter. "1 threw him a curve," said McGregor. That seemed sensible, since the Phillies are supposed to be a fastball hitting team. It did not work, though, don't know if he was swinging for a fastball, but he smoked it," M-cGregor continued.

"It seemed that everybody liked him. In fact, everybody is crazy about him. 1 don't know why he did it. He never mentioned it to me. He's a grown man.
