Monday, Octobir 12, 1970 The IJnwlM Star 7 IM1 WW lead Hendricks' Double Sends Cincinnati To 65 Setback THI THIRD Hillf it -it -It By Tom Henderson Star Sports Writer Shero Had Choice New Omaha Knights hockey coach Fred Shero returned to Omaha by choice rather than by assignment this year. of the Reds and Boog Powell of the Orioles, but none of them did as much damage as Hendricks' two-run double as Baltimore sent nine men to the plate during the winning rally. Just as they did in an opening game triumph Saturday, the Orioles spotted the Reds a big lead, and trailed 4-0 after three innings. Powell's second homer of the series got one back in the fourth inning against Reds starter Jim McGlothlin and then the Orioles started to spray hits all around Riverfront Stadium's artificial turf. With one out, Chico Salmon started things with a single.

Singles by Don Buford and Paul Blair brought in one run and chased McGlothlin, Cincinnati manager Sparky Anderson tapping young Milt Wilcox for relief duty. Wilcox, a 20-year-old righthander with only 22 innings of work during the regular season, walked to the mound to face the towering, 250-pound Powell. The slugging Baltimore first baseman immediately singled in another run. Wilcox got Frank Robinson on a fly that backed right fielder Pete Rose against the wall, but didn't have as much success with Brooks Robinson, who bounced a single into right field that sent Blair racing home with the tying run. Hendricks strode to the plate, worked the count to 3-2 and then drilled a pitch inside the third base line for a double, Powell lumbering home and brooks Robinson following for the 6-4 lead.

But this game that extended the Orioles season-ending Cincinnati UP Catcher Ellie Hendricks, at the center of a controversial play at home plate Saturday, doubled to left field for what he said was the first time In his 12-year career and sent Baltimore to a 6-5 victory over Cincinnati Sunday in the second game of the World Series. The triumph, built on a five-run fifth Inning outburst capped by Hendrlck's tie-breaking hit, gave the Orioles a commanding 2-0 lead In the best-of-seven series as the teams moved on to Baltimore to continue their battle on Tuesday. "As far as I can remember," Hendricks said in the happy Orioles' dressing room, "it's the first time I've ever hit one in that place. I hit a change-up. But I was looking for a fast ball.

I can only hit the fast ball." Despite that fact, Hendricks moved the Orioles a major step closer to redemption for their upset loss in the World Series last year to the New York Mets and big Boog Powell said that's exactly what every Baltimore player is battling for. "Deep inside of each of us we feel we have a score to settle," Powell said. "I think we're doing all right now. I think we're in the driver's seat. It's a big advantage now to go to our own park." Hendricks, a spindly 175-pounder, got the key hit for the Orioles in a patented explosion that sent Baltimore ahead to stay in a game replete with nine pitchers, 17 hits, including three homers, and a police guard stationed in right field to protect umpire Ken Burkhart.

The homers were by Bobby Tolan and Johnny Bench winning streak to IS 11 in the regular season, three In the playoffs and now two in the series was far from over as Baltimore manager Earl Weaver juggled his bullpen to stifle the When starter Mike Cuellar was pounded, Weaver went to Tom Phoebus. After Phoebus left, he called on 35-year-old Moe Drabowsky. Drabowsky surrendered Bench's homer in the sixth as the Reds pulled to within one run, then left in the seventh when the Reds threatened. Ty Cline, the pinch-hitting hero of two Reds' victories in the National League playoffs, opened the seventh with a single to left. Pinch hitter Angel Bravo then sacrificed and, when Drabowsky walked Rose, Weaver waved to the bullpen for lefthanded Marcelino Lopez to pitch to left-swinging Bobby Tolan.

Tolan ran the count to 3-2 and then fouled out to third. Weaver scurried out of the dugout again, applauding Lopez' performance while calling for Dick Hall, a right-hander, to face slugging right-handed hitter Tony Perez. Hall threw one pitch to Perez and got him to tap to third for a force out on Rose at second. Hall set the Reds down in order the rest of the way, getting the final out when Blair raced to deepest center field to haul in a long drive by pinch hitter Jimmy Stewart. The Reds, who refused to blame Saturday's loss on a disputed home plate decision by Burkhart, now face long odds in their bid to bring Cincinnati its first world championship in three decades.

"The reason I want to be here is that in Omaha you're working with the younger kids and you have a reason to get up in the morning and coach. They're more enthusiastic and competitive," he says. They're on their way up." Shero coached the New York Rangers' Buffalo farm club last year before that team moved into the NHL in the league expansion.

When Buffalo moved into the NHL, the Rangers placed a new farm team in Seattle and most of their older players are sent there, while the majority of the up-and-coming players go to the Omaha affiliate for seasoning. Shero does have one "oldster" on bis Omaha roster this season, however, and he's glad he does. Gerry Ouellette will be 32 next month, about 10 years older than the rest of the Knight players. "Since he joined us, we've started to look like a hockey team," Shero says. "He speaks French and, although I speak French too, he's a Frenchman and he speaks like one and he's a player too.

That helps communicate better with the other French boys on the team." Some Rookies Blossom Shero may also be thankful for Ouelletto's hockey savvy too before the season is over. With five of last year's top players now in the NHL and a roster filled with several inexperienced rookies, the latest edition of the Knights just didn't look much like last year's CHL champions in their 4-3 exhibition loss to the Kansas City Blues Saturday night at Pershing Auditorium. But Shero says some of those stars like Don Luce, Jack Egers and Jim Krulicki, now with the New York Rangers, didn't show much promise when they were starting out either. "I saw some of them in training camp and I didn't think they were even good enough to turn pro," Shero says. "But then they blossomed into stars.

"I hope we're going to have the same lock with some of our players," he continues. "We've got some guys like (Gary) Coalter, (Mike) Murphy and (Bill) Hogaboam. They're pretty good kids." Shero says, "We have a much better club now than we had two weeks ago." Hometown Support Strong The attendance figure for last Saturday night's exhibition was announced as 2,407, but it took strong hometown support from both teams to get that high. Omaha Knights public relations director Curt Gordon says the Knights' office sold 1,000 tickets to Omahans, while another 300-400 Kansas City fans stayed over for the game after seeing the Nebraska-Missouri football game that afternoon. We'd have to correct the crowd figure to 2,406, however, deducting the woman who had to be escorted from the auditiorium by police for abusing a referee with obscene language and gestures.

At least she wasn't roaming the aisles and throwing paper airplanes on the floor like the younger fans did in the recent NBA exhibition game at Pershing. win the World Series in its 67 years after losing the first two games at home. Prior to the game, players from both teams still were discussing Burkhart's call in the sixth inning of the opener when he was bowled over as Bernie Carbo, kept Hendricks from reaching Carbo. The Baltimore catcher, also falling and 1 confused, tagged Carbo with the glove hand while holding the ball in his bare hand. Burkhart, however, ruled Carbo out and the Orioles went on to a 4-3 victory.

It looked different Sunday as the Reds, who had a 3-8 record against lefthanders during the regular season, began tagging the southpaw Cuellar from the first inning. Rose, leading off, reached first when shortstop Mark Belanger hobbled his grounder for an error. One out later, Perez grounded a single up the middle. Bench filed out but Lee May, the big first baseman who is the No. 3 man in the Reds' power trust, lashed a first-pitch double to left center for two runs.

May careened around to third when Blair was unable to pick up the ball cleanly and scored when Hal McRae surprised the Orioles by laying a bunt down to the left of the mound for a single. Tolan made it 4-0 in the third inning when he slammed a 2-0 pitch into the lower stands in right field for a home run. Brooks Robinson, who made a sensational fielding play Saturday, added another later in the inning to end the Reds' threat. After Tolan's homer, Bench walked with two ont and May followed with a hot shot down third. Robinson was spun around by the force of the hit, but held on, straightened up and began a third-to-second-to-first double play, and maybe that gave the Orioles the lift they needed, for Powell then started the Baltimore comeback with a leadoff homer in the fourth.

Cuellar, a 33-year-old Cuban left-hander with a 24-8 record during the regular season, lasted only 2 1-3 innings and was charged with all four Cincinnati runs.
