Tho Lccf-Chrcnlclo 1 Sunday, Octebf 13, 1985 Section I Austin Peay 14, Morehead State II The Govs used a hurry-up offense on their first possession and picked up three first downs in moving the ball from their own 27 down to the MSU 32, But, as the case many times this 10. The Eagles had one last drive to stall at the APSU 44 with about a minute and half remaining. The Eagles broke a deadlocked, 7-7, game with 9:06 left in the final period when Matt Tilton booted a 22-yard field goal That gave MSU a 10-7 advantage.

The Jekyll-Hyde offense of Austin Peay was at it again Saturday afternoon.

Fortunately for the Governors, the good side ruled over the evil just in time. The Govs scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to rally for a 14-10 Ohio Valley Conference victory over Morehead State before a crowd generously estimated at 3,000 at Eagles' Jayne Stadium. "Jekyll and Hyde is a good way to describe it (the offense)," said Hale. "What I was afraid would happen in this game, happened. The loss last week (to Eastern Kentucky) was very disappointing.

I thought we would have a letdown and we did. I think our guys just decided in the fourth quarter that they didnt want to get beat, so they just buckled down and began to move the ball" Rob Senft caueht the eo ahead drive and a fourth-down and six pass attempt fell incomplete saving APSU further damage. "We had our chances early," said Morehead Coach Bill Baldridge. "But they played good defense and we didnt do the things we needed to to score. We felt if we could have gotten another touchdownat least a field the half, that might just take a little more out of them.

But we've got a young team and we werent able to do that" The Govs' offensive woes appeared to worsen as the half went on. APSU coaches used both quarterbacks, Rice and Dale Edwards, but neither could generate any movement. As a matter of fact, the two QBs were sacked three times by MSU in the first two stanzas and the Govs wound up with minus 20 net yards in the second period. "We wanted to get their quarterback out (Rice) in the second half," said Baldridge. "He seemed more confident than the backup quarterback.

But he stayed in there and got things going for them in the second half." Rice wound up completing 9-of-14 passes for 58 yards. "I don't know what it is," said Rice, of up and down offense. "Again, we moved the ball welt but we would make a mistake that would stop us. "We dont like having to depend on our defense all the time," continued Rice. "But they did a good job for us again today.

They kept us in it in the Jirst half. The game could've easily been 28-0 had our defense not been there. But they were and it allowed us to get back into the game later." "The defense did it's usual good job," said Hale. "But we've got to play a lot better in our next two games if we expect to have a chance to win them." William Nathaniel and Mike Lewis led the APSU rushing attack picking up 63 yards each. Rice also had 21 yards on the ground.

The Govs were led defensively by Mike Blair with 10 total hits and Mike Hamilton with nine. The Govs, who improved to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the conference, will play at Youngstown State next week. Morehead fell to 1-5 overall. The Govs had fought back from a 7-0 halftime deficit bf mounting their loneest drive of the season lust before the end of the third quarter. The contest moved into the fourth period as the Govs capped a 93-yard drive with a 5-yard TD run by William Nathaniel Yarbrough's extra point kick knotted the game at 7-7 with 13:38 to go in the game.

Turnovers and the lack of offensive punch in the first half almost buried the Govs early. But the Eagles were able to take advantage of only one of three APSU miscues for a score. The Eagles also were in APSU territory five times in the first half in which they came up empty handed. The Govs were in MSU territory only once in the first half on their very first possession. it season, the drive stalled there and Yarbrough was brought on for a 50-yard field goal attempt.

The kick was on line but just short of the crossbar and the Govs came up with On their next possession the Govs again went to the no-huddle offense but fumbled on a pitchout at their own 18 where MSU's Kelvin Bellamy fell on the ball The Eagles were able to take advantage of this miscue going 18 yards in three plays. Jonathan Cage got the TD on a 15-yard run. Tilton kicked the extra point and the Eagles led 7-0 with 8:40 remaining in the first period. The Govs could not move out of their own territory for the rest of the second period. The Eagles were in APSU territory four more times in the second half, but two field goals were missed by Tilton, a pass interception in the end zone stopped one oyff Win touchdown pass from quarterback Rickey Rice with just 3:04 remaining in the game.

"We played pretty badly in Los Angeles. I don't know that we were surprised by it, but we hadn't played that badly all year." Game 4 in the best-of-7 series is scheduled for Sunday night with Game 1 loser John Tudor of the Cards going against left-hander Jerry Reuss of Los Angeles. Coleman had two stole a base and scored his first two runs of the playoffs, while McGee had two hits, drove in a run and scored once.

Herr also hit a solo homer and stole a base for the Cards, who turned frustration into opportunism by cashing in for two runs in each of the first two innings after failing in similar situations in LA Cox succeeded with a less-than-artful performance where the Cards' two 20-game winners, Tudor and Joaquin Andujar, had failed. At the same time, Dodgers starter Bob Welch failed utterly after two fine performances by Fernando Valen-zuela and Orel Hershiser. Welch, 14-4 this year, lasted only 2 2-3 innings, allowing five hits and six walks. The six walks tied an NL playoff record set by Bruce Kison of Pittsburgh in 1974.

Brian Yarbrough added the extra point try and the Govs grabbed its first lead in the game 14- Ketone! a run to score, and another throwing error by catcher Mike Scioscia led to a run. "We didn't play that bad except for throwing the ball away and not driving in some runs in the early innings," Scioscia said. "We didnt give up.

They made some great defensive plays. That's their game. You're not going to sweep a team like the Cardinals." One of the "great defensive plays" was made by Coleman, another two by third baseman Terry Pendleton. With one out and a runner at first, Coleman ran down a line drive by Ken Landreaux deep into the left-center field gap, and Pendleton ran down a foul fly by Greg Brock into the Dodgers bullpen for the last out of the eighth inning, stranding a runner at third. Pendleton, whose error in Game 1 led to a run, capped his performance with another gem in the ninth.

With none out and a runner at second, Pendleton dove to his right for a hard grounder by pinch-hitter Candy Maldonado, making the out and saving a run. "That play in the ninth inning on Maldonado was great," Cards Manager Whitey Herzog said. "And the foul on Brock, I had no idea he could catch that That was one great play." Cox, 18-9 during the season, allowed four hits, walked five and struck out four before he was relieved by Rick Horton with none out in the seventh. Cox gave up a run in the fourth inning on consecutive doubles by Pedro Guerrero and Mike Marshall He was removed after giving up a leadoff single in the seventh. nandez.

Stieb, who beat Leibrandt in Game 1, gave up the only two Kansas City hits. Stieb and Leibrandt, who had the two best earned run averages in the league this season, had met in Game 1 at Toronto. Stieb, a five-time All-Star won that game with eight shutout innings of three-hit ball, while Leibrandt could not survive the third inning and took the loss. But this time, on a perfect, 68-de-gree night at Royals Stadium, a crowd of 41,112 was treated to a brilliant matchup. Leibrandt used his off-speed pitches to get out of a no-out, second-and-third jam in the second, which came one inning after the hard-throwing Stieb escaped a two-out, second-and-third jam.

Stieb was especially careful when pitching to George Brett, who went 4-for-4 with two home runs in Kansas City's 0-5 victory in Game 3. But Stieb's preoccupation with Brett proved costly. Stieb had retired seven straight batters before Lonnie Smith led off the sixth by walking on five pitches. Smith then broke for second, and Willie Wilson grounded through the uncovered hole at shortstop for a single that sent Smith to third. That brought up Brett, who had been intentionally walked In the first.

Once again, Stieb intentionally walked Brett, loading the bases. But, after throwing two strikes to Hal McRae, Stieb suddenly faltered and threw four straight balls, forcing home Smith. On ball four, a pitch lust off the outside corner, Stieb bent over, scooped a handful of dirt from the pitcher's mound and threw it Ds 1 r.ilNPCVIl I IT Wlo AP Coach Galen Hall of seventh-ranked Florida got just what he wanted out of his defense as the Gators edged No. 14 Tennessee 17-10 in a Southeastern Conference football game Saturday. "Tennessee's offense is explosive, but we were able to take a little of the firepower out today, and that may have been the key to the game," Hall said after the Gators lifted his lifetime coaching record to 12-0-1.

Defense was the dominant factor in a game which was expected to be an offensive shootout after the teams had combined for more than 1,000 yards in last year's meeting. "Vaii Hnnt ctrm Tntiv Pnhincnn but we did contain him today," Hall said of the Vols' quarterback, who passed for 300 yards. But about one-third of that total came in the final' quarter after the Gators had taken a 17.3 loari nn nair nf thirrt-niiartAr touchdowns by Neal Anderson. "They didnt confuse us, they just ran to the ball and hit well," Anderson said of the Tennessee defense. "I know they hit me pretty welL" "Field position and the kicking game which controls it were the biggest factors," Tennessee Coach Johnny Majors said.

Both Florida touchdown drives came after short punts, and a second-quarter field goal was set up by Ray Criswell's 63-yard punt and an 8-yard clipping penalty that left the Vols at their 8. "I saw two of the hardest-fighting teams I've seen on a football field in a long, long time," Majors said. "Both played awfully hard. I don't know how you could ask more out of defensive teams." Anderson's scoring runs of 9 yards and 1 yard came in the third quarter on drives of 49 and 38 yards, following punts of only 32 and 31 yards by Tennessee's Bob Garmon. Anderson finished with 160 yards on 29 carries.

Florida had a 17-3 lead, before the Vols scored early in the final quarter and had one more shot before stalling midway through the period. The victory gave the Gators a -0-1 record, including 3- 0 in the SEC, but Florida is ineligible to win the conference race because its on NCAA probation. Tennessee fell to 2-1-1 and 1-1 in becoming Florida's eighth consecutive victim in SEC play. Helped by a 15-yard penalty, the Vols needed only five plays to move 98 yards for their touchdown. It came with 13:52 remaining on a 20-yard pass from Tony Robinson to Tim McGee, two plays after Robinson fired a 65-yard bomb to Joey Clinkscales at the Florida 19.

The Vols then took over at their 41 after Charles Davis recovered a John Williams fumble but eventually were forced to punt The first half ended 3- 3. The Gators got a 42-yard second-quarter field goal from Jeff Dawson and Tennessee countered with a 33-yarder from Carlos Reveiz only seven seconds before halftime. The game drew a record crowd for Florida Field of 74,432. The fans had jammed into the stadium wanting Tennessee's scalp since the Vols were viewed as the ringleader when the SEC voted last May to strip Florida of the 1984 conference crown, which would have been the first in the Gators' history. The attendance bettered the Florida Field mark of 74,397 set last year in a game against Auburn.

The victory extended Florida's unbeaten string to 15 games, longest in the nation. ESfliyie Jcoys Really StaK Photo By Robert Smith Fort Campbell Saturday.

(AP) -Lloyd Moseby doubled home the tying run, and Al Oliver once again victimized Kansas City relief ace Dan Quisenberry, lining a two-run double to cap a ninth-inning rally Saturday night that led the Toronto Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory over the Royals and into a three games-to-one lead in the American League playoffs. The Blue Jays, shut out on four hits by Charlie Leibrandt through eight innings, suddenly erupted for iheir dramatic victory.

Damaso Garcia led off with a walk on four pitches and Moseby followed with a double up the right-center field alley that tied the score.

Then Oliver, whose two-out single in the 10th off Quisenberry capped a two-run rally that won Game 2 for Toronto, lined a double into the right-field corner to scored both runners. The victory left Toronto move within one game of bringing the first World Series to Canada. The Blue Jays can wrap up the best-of-seven series Sunday in Game 4.

The loss left Quisenberry with a 2-5 record in postseason games. Tom Henke, who took over for Toronto starter Dave Stieb with two outs in the seventh and finished up with hitless relief, ran into trouble in the ninth when he walked Steve Bal-boni with one out and pinch-hitter Dane Iorg with two out.
