Dodget; manager Dick McLaughlin will start either Oral Her-shiser or Larry Wright while Napier expects to toss lefty TomSpino(7-5). Earlier In the week, Napier said if the Cubs lost the opening game he would use his ace Randy Clark (16-5) in the second game.

"I guess that let's everyone know we're planning on a third game," Napier said. "We'll save Clark to nail the whole thing for us Sunday." If a third game is necessary Sunday, it also would be In Clinton. Both contests would start at 7:30.

team still has its work cut out "I know what they say about anything happening in a short series," he said, "but we've been tough In our owir ballpark. It's nice to go home with a one-game edge. "But we've got their best pitchers coming up. I think they're the best club in the league, but maybe they were a little over confident "I read In the paper this week where their manager said his team was better player-for player than us. I cut the article out and put it on the bulletin board back at our stadium.

I think It got us fired up tonight." Both teams missed chances at a run early In the game when players could not put down a sacrifice bunt. Clinton's Steve Sax tried a suicide squeeze In the first Inning, but missed the ball with Mitch Webster being trapped off third base. IN THE Cubs' third, Davt Owen tried to sacrifice but bunted hard back to the. pitcher who nailed the lead, runner at second. The Dodgers got all runs they needed Ith a Iwo-run sixth.

Wlckensheimer, who signed after his junior year -al BaU SUte in faced the minimum number of batters after the third Inning. "The only threats they had, we snuffed out," McLaughlin said. "We had two doubleplays, and we threw out the only runner who tried to steaL" "We even used a make-shirt Infield Mark Sheeny, our regular second baseman, pulled a hamstring Thursday night so we used Wiggins at second.

Our regular shortstop. Tun Gloyd, has a stiff back so we shifted German Rivera from third to short. "I donl know If Sheeny can play tomorrow. We could use Gloyd if we have to, but I plan on the same lineup we had tonight 1 wish we could throw Wicken-shelmer again."
