14 SYRACUSE POST STANDARD, April 26, 1977 Otto Hits Two HRs; Toronto, Sox Split TORONTO (AP) Boston struck for four runs in the seventh inning to tie the game and Rick Burleson's sacrifice fly scored the winner in the eighth as the Red Sox edged the Toronto Blue Jays 6 5 for a split in their Monday doubleheader. The Blue Jays won the opener 4 3 as Otto Velez, the former Syracuse Chief strongboy who currently leads all of major league baseball with his .462 batting OTTO VELEZ average, belted two home runs. The second was a two run blow in the eighth inning off Boston's millionaire relief pitcher, Bill Campbell, that erased a 3 2 Red Sox lead. Boston' four run outburst in the seventh inning of the nightcap included three doubles and a pair of singles. Jim Rice collected two RBI with Rick Miller and Burleson delivering the others.

The Red Sox opened the decisive eighth with walks to Carlton Fisk and Dwight Evans. Butch Hobson singled to center but Fisk was thrown out at the plate attempting to score. Steve Dillard got an infield hit to load the bases and Burleson followed with a sacrifice fly to score the winner. Jim Willoughby, 1 0, took over for starter Bob Stanley with one out in the fifth and blanked Toronto on three hits. The loss went to Toronto reliever Pete Vukovich, 1 2, who had won the opener.

Velez' homer in the first game capped a three run rally in the eighth inning. Al Woods knocked home the first run of the inning with a single that scored Jim Mason from second.

Over 24,000 trout were stocked in Onondaga County last week by the county hatchery crews from the Carpenter's Brook fish farm aided by Federation volunteers. This is in addition to the approximately 60,000 planted before the opener. Some 6,300 brook, brown and rainbow trout went into Skaneateles Creek, clean again after the late March fluoride spill. The area stocked is from Skaneateles Falls to Jordan. Limestone Creek from Fayetteville to Delphi Falls had close to 4,200 browns trucked in and Nine Mile was planted with nearly 4,400 browns from Marietta to Mar tisco.

Butternut took almost 2,000 browns from James ville Reservoir upstream. Other waters stocked included Green Lake, Pool's Brook, Chittenango Creek, Round Lake, Spruce Pond and Fabius Brook. The fish ranged in size from 7.4 to 9.2 inches with the rainbows the biggest. Another duck stamp for Ducks Unlimited was donated by Dave Jasper of Syracuse, Skaneateles and the Sargasso Sea who reports that he has a fishing date next week with Perry Como.

Jackson, who signed a lucrative New York free agent contract after one season in Baltimore in which he played out his option, also legged out a ground double on the wet grass in a two run first inning and doubled and scored in the eighth as the Yankees extended their winning streak to six games in a row.

The wild contest, played before a raucous crowd during a steady rain, included rarely seen obstruction and interference calls against the Orioles. Jackson's second homer of the season was New York's only hit in the go ahead rally and came after Thurman Munson was struck by a pitch from loser Dennis Martinez, 0 Martinez and fellow reliever Tippy Martinez walked the next three batters and Roy White followed with a sacrifice fly. Munson, who rapped a two run homer in the third off starter Ross Grimsley, walked and eventually scored his fourth run in the sixth on a single by Mickey Rivers off Fred Holdsworth. The Orioles scored four times in the fourth to take a 5 4 lead. Ken Singleton's two run single tied the score, chasing starter Don Gullett, and a bunt single by Doug DeCinces off winner Dick Tidrow, 2 1, put Baltimore ahead.

Dodgers 7, Padres 3 SAN DIEGO (AP) Ron Cey drove in three runs with a his sixth and seventh homers and Rick Rhoden won his third straight game with a seven hitter as the red hot Los Angeles Dodgers rolled to a 7 3 victory over the San Diego Padres. Cey, who has hit in all 15 Dodger games, increased his National League leading RBI total to 25. Rhoden struck out nine and walked four while breezing to his fifth consecutive career triumph over the Padres. San Diego's Randy Jones, last year's Cy Young Award winner, took the loss and dropped to 13. Steve Garvey also homered and Dave Lopes rapped out three hits as the Dodgers won for the 10th time in their last 11 games, including three in a row.

They lead the NL West by four games over San Francisco and are the only club in the division playing over .500 baseball. Bill Almon and Dave Winfield collected two hits apiece to lead the Padres, who picked up two of their runs in the third inning on a homer by Winfield with Almon aboard. Gary Sutherland hit a pinch homer in the ninth for the Padres' final run. IIIBII 1 in Hot Water Well, Lenny Handle had the long arm of the law out after him yesterday.

Boosted by the entry of the Soviet Union team, playing out of Philadelphia, they almost assure themselves of increased attendance.

Wednesday night, the Soviets, the first foreign national team to compete in an American sports league, will travel to Knoxville, Tenn. to take on the Seattle Portland Cascades. The team will be led by international stars Alex Metreveli and Olga Morozova. The National Hockey League wasn't in action last night but at least one of its stars was. Roland Eriksson of the Minnesota North Stars collected three goals as Sweden topped West Germany 7 1 and remained unbeaten in the World Ice Hockey Championships in Vienna.

Another rumble in the baseball world yesterday heard Rico Carty blast manager Frank Robinson for not playing the Cleveland Indians' designated hitter. "I can't hit sitting on the bench," said Carty as he accepted the Man of the Year Award from the local chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America. "I gotta play. I'm gonna hit." Carty, who sat out both games of Sunday's double header loss to the New York Yankees, said that the team needed leadership and that it could only get that leadership from Robinson. "I have no comment on what Rico said," Robinson said afterwards.

"Any player is entitled to say anything he want" about anything. That's all I have to say about it.

For example, Wayne Stephenson was asked if he was upset at being relieved in goal by Bernie Parent after two periods Sunday night with the Flyers trailing the Boston Bruins 3 0. "Mine is not to reason why. Mine is but to do or die," replied Stephenson, paraphrasing an excerpt from Rud yard Kipling's "Charge of the Light Brigade." And if that's not enough, on a blackboard at the end of the bright, plush carpeted room Coach Fred Shero had scrawled his messages of the day. "People seldom want to walk over you until you lie down," said one passage.

"Temptation rarely comes in working hours. It is in their leisure time that men are made or marred." Stephenson spouted his poetry without a smile. The deadly serious goaltender, an accountant by profession, rarely offers more than one line answers to frustrated hockey writers. He was pressed for some Stephenson rather than Kipling on the controversial switch of goaltenders that ended with Parent giving np the winning goal in overtime in a 4 3 National Hockey League playoff loss. The Flyers trail the Bruins 1 0 in their best of seven Stanley Cup semifinal series.

"Heck, it was just a move to get the guys going," Stephenson said. "And they wanted to get Bernie (Parent) back in." Now for the big news. Stephenson will be back in goal Tuesday night when the Flyers try to even the series. A Flyers' spokesman said Parent missed practice Monday. He went to a doctor to have a foot injury treated.

Some wag wanted to know if it was Parent's foot or his ego. Shero echoed Stephenson's words about the first game switch. "I thought it might change things," the coach said. "Actually it's ridiculous thinking, but that's the way we coaches think sometime." It did awaken the Flyers, or something did. They scored three third period goals, the last by Bobby Clarke with 29 seconds left, to tie the score.

But Parent accidentally shoved Rick Middleton's 25 ooter into the net after making an initial save. He said he shoved the puck with his stick on a backswing. Meanwhile, Boston Coach Don Cherry said he planned to stick with goalie Gerry Cheevers, who stopped all but three of 38 Flyers' shots. Cherry recalled that he switched during the quarterfinal series against Los Angeles and it was disastrous. Cherry's main concern was being forced by injuries to go with several rookie defensemen.

He used only four def ensemen in the first game. "I took a chance in the first game and tried to get as much as I could out of the four, but you can't beat Philadelphia in a seven game series that way. Toronto tried and they lost. Now, I have to go with two rookies. I shudder." Cherry indicated that Mike Milbury, Doug Halward, John Wensink, Matti Hagman and Stan Jonathan, all rookies, would have to help carry the load if Boston hoped to win.
