Carolina Passes By DAVE MILNE MORGANTOWN (UPI) Fullback Pete scored three touchdowns and Brian Childs, his relief man, tallied twice, as West Virginia capitalized on East Carolina's offensive mistakes Saturday and defeated the Pirates 44-21. The West Virginia defense intercepted four passes to set up one of Wood's touchdowns and both of Childs' scores.

Wood scored in the first period on a three-yard per, plunged one yard for a touchdown in the second period and rambled 35 yards for a score in the third period. Childs, who came into the game to spell Wood, burst through the East Carolina defense for a 25-yard touchdown run in the third period and plunged one yard for a fourth quarter score. 'Mountaineers Play Up To Reputation'-Sonny Randle MORGANTOWN (UPI) To hear West Virginia Coach Bobby Bowden talk, you would think his Mountaineers had barely managed to beat East Carolina. "I'm very turned out that the running game was most effective. "It was our game plan to throw a lot," Bowden said.

"The play an eight-man front with only three deep. Against because we didn't play well at all," he said Saturday, following West Virginia's 44-21 romp glad we won that kind of a defense a team over the Pirates. East Carolina Coach Sonny Randle, however, showed how the outcome of a game can affect a coach's outlook of how it was played. a called Mountaineers "a mighty fine football team. We knew that before we came and they lived Randle can look real bad two or three times in a row and then hit for a touchdown.

That is what we did today." Galiffa passed for only one touchdown, a 29-yard strike to end Dave Jagdmann but Pete Wood scored three touchdowns and Brian Chiles two more all on the ground. Wood Kerry Marbury and Chiles combined for a total oi 201 yards rushing. Galiffa hit 9- of-17 passes for 165 yards Kim West completed one of three for 13 yards. up to their reputation, said.

Quarterback Bernie Galiffa massed 29 yards to end Dave Jagdmann for a touchdown in the fourth quarter and Frank Nester kicked a 26-yard field goal in the first period to wrap up the Mountaineers' scoring. East Carolina was held scoreless in the first half.

Quarterback Carl Summerell scored East Carolina's first touchdown on a one-yard keeper in the third quarter. In the fourth period, running back Bill Wallace scored on a 10- yard run after WVU's Leon Jenkins fumbled a punt return on the East Carolina 38. Quarterback John a a a passed 44 yards to flanker Tim Dameron for the Pirates' final touchdown. Defensive back John Harcharic intercepted a Casazza pass on the West Virginia 40 and returned it 26 yards to clear the way for Wood's second touchdown.

Robinson B. Robinson Had Football On His Mind In 10th Inning By IRA MILLER UPI Sports Writer BALTIMORE (UPI)-Brooks Robinson, hardly a stranger to World Series heroics, drove home the winning run with a lOth-inning sacrifice fly Saturday to give the Baltimore Orioles a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates and force the Series into a showdown seventh game Sunday. The Orioles evened the series at three games apiece when Frank Robinson barely beat two straight throws from centerfielder Vic Davalillo, inserted in the 10th inning as a defensive replacement, to reach third base and then score. Baltimore spotted Pittsburgh a two-run lead before rallying back to set up a pitching rematch Sunday between Steve Blass of the Pirates, who won the third game, and Mike Cuellar of the Orioles, who lost it.

By JERRY FOX BALTIMORE (UPI)--It was the bottom of the 10th with runners on first and third in the sixth game of the World Series and the Oriole batter, Brooks Robinson, had football on his mind. "I was thinking about getting home to watch the football game on said Robinson. The Little Rock, native was talking about the nationally televised Texas-Arkansas game. Brooks socked a sacrifice fly "Stargell was the guy I nought him (McNally) in to get out," Weaver said. But it was Al Oliver who flied ut to end the ending.

"I would lave kept McNally in there to center field, Robinson scored and Frank from third when the throw from Vic Davalillo was wide of the plate. The game was over with Baltimore winning 3-2 and Brooks was able to get to his Lutherville, home to watch football. "Think of it, if we beat the Pirates and Arkansas kicks Texas around, that would be a hell of a day," he said. Brooks was also thinking of a possible play that would have even if they lave lifted pinchhiter." Weaver and Palmer talked about Gemente, who is 11-25 in the series. Clemente tripled and ho- mered and then flied out twice being intentionally valked in the 10th.

"He finally hit the ball to somebody and that's probably the only way to get that guy out," Palmer said. Buford who hit a homer, ended the inning. "I'm a pretty good double play man, probably the best in the league," Brooks said. "All three pitches (reliever Bob) Miller threw me were good ones for him. The last was a jammer.

I didn't know if I hi it far enough, but it was far enough and that's all tha counts. I didn't know if Frank could score on it but when I saw Frank going, I felt pretty good." Manager Earl Weaver wa confident his team would reverse itself after three Pittsburgh. "I always thought we'd get to them but I thought we'd score more than we did." Weaver, who was upset abou the umpiring in the second straight losses to the Pirates in game of the series said National League umpire John Kibler "did a pretty good job calling balls and strikes today. FRANK ROBINSON Scores Winning Run Hunter, the third base coach, was talking to him now. 'Ground ball, you're going in," Hunter said.

"Fly ball, tag warning track in center for the! third out. Palmer, who said he began the game with a sore elbow and threw 128 pitches --bringing his total for the last three games to 468 --allowed only two hits from the fifth through ninth innings. Weaver, aware of the limitations of his bullpen, first let Palmer hit for himself in the bottom of the fifth with Pittsburgh ahead 2-0 and two men on with two out. Palmer struck out. Buford then led off the sixth with his homer, ending a string of 22 successive scoreless innings for Baltimore going back to the first inning of the fourth game Wednesday night.

Palmer worked out of a two- on, none-out jam in the second inning after the Pirates got their first run when he alertly fielded a bunt by Hernandez There never has been a World Series in which the home team won every game, but the home teams have won the rst six games of this Series. Likewise, there have been nly four cases in which a team ost the first two games, as the 3 irates did, and came back to vin. Blass pitched a three-hitter to eat Cuellar 5-1 in the third ame 'on Tuesday at Pitts- urgh. "I guess this will be my iggest game," Blass said with a smile. "I still have a chance win the car." The righthander's reference ras to the sports car that a national magazine awards to the Series MVP.

Last year, of course, it went to Brooks Robinson, when the Orioles beat the Cincinnati Reds in five games. (Pirates) would Oliver for a double and single and walked once, said, "I was very lucky today." He said he hit a fast ball for the home run and a high changeup pitch for the double. Asked how he would describe his arm after throwing out speedy catcher Manny Sanguil- len at second following a single, Buford said: "major league." Dave McNally, who won the sacrifice first game and lost the fifth as second, a starter, picked up the victory in his first relief appearance since July 19, 1969 when he got out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 10th. With Bob Miller, the fourth Pittsburgh pitcher, in the game, Frank Robinson walked on a 3-and-l pitch with one out and Merv Rettenmund singled to center. Robinson barely beat Davalillo's throw to third base, sliding head-first into the bag as Richie Hebner had to go to the other side of the base for the throw.

Then Brooks lofted his fly to medium center and Frank slid home ahead of the throw. The Orioles had to survive a couple of questionable moves by their a a Earl Weaver, who twice allowed starting pitcher Jim Palmer to bat for himself with men on bases and Baltimore still trailing. "He seemed to be doing a pretty good job of containing them," said Weaver, who finally pinch-hit for Palmer in the ninth. "I figured he could hold them and we would get some runs." Bob Moose, who was a and threw to forceout, then third after for a Moose sacrificed, Cash popped to econd. After Clemente hit his homer in the third, the Pirates did not get another man to second base until the 10th although Manny Sanguillen was cut down trying to stretch a routine single to left in the ninth.

Clemente, who has hit safely in all 13 World Series in which he has played, dating back to 1960, finished the garm 2-for-4 --both his outs were long fly balls --and now is ll-for-2 in the Series. He needs two more hit Sunday to tie the record for seven-game Series but bot Pittsburgh and Baltimore wi be fighting history in the finale which begins at 2 p.m. EDT Box Score 'ittsbursrh Cash 2b Hebner 3b Baltimore ab li bi ab bl 5 0 1 0 Buford If 4 1 3 1 4 0 0 0 DJtoonson 2b 5 0 1 Clemente rf 4 1 2 1 Powell Ib 5 0 1 0 Stargell If 4 0 0 0 FRobinson rf 4 10 0 Olivercf 5 1 1 0 Rettnmnd cf 5 0 1 0 Miller 0 0 0 0 BRobinsn 3b 4 0 1 1 Robertsn Ib 4 0 2 1 Hendricks 4 0 0 0 Sanpuillen 4 0 3 0 Belanger as 1 1 10 Hernandzss 4 0 0 0 Palmer 2 0 0 0 Moose 1 0 0 0 Shopay Sh 1 0 0 0 RJohnsonp 1 0 0 0 Dobson 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 McNally 0 0 0 0 Davaiaiocf i 0 0 0 Totals 37 3 9 1 Totals 3 5 3 8 1 two out when winning run scored Pittsburgh Oil 000 000 0-- 2 Baltimore 000 001100 1-- E-Hebner.

Kison To Be Late For Own Wedding BALTIMORE (UPI)--Bruce Kison's worst fear has come true. The Pittsburgh Pirate reliefer and his fiancee, Anna Marie Orlando, several weeks ago set their wedding date for Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m.

in Pittsburgh. But the lanky righthander, who starred in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Baltimore to even the series at two games apiece, will be in the bullpen at Memorial Stadium here Sunday afternoon. Ominously, Saturday's game went into extra innings and the Baltimore blue laws prevent Sunday's game from starting until 2 p.m. And it takes about an hour to fly to Pittsburgh. "I may be late for my own wedding," Kison said.

When he gets there, however, he will have quite a present for his wife. A victory Sunday would give Kison a winner's Orioles out on two hits until the sixth inning when Don Buford led off by slamming a 3-and-2 pitch about 10 rows into the seats in right field for a homer to narrow the Pirates' lead to 2-1. Moose was replaced by Bob Johnson after Dave Johnson was safe on an error and Boog Powell singled to right, and Johnson retired Frank Robinson, Rettenmund and Brooks Robinson on seven pitches. In the seventh, Johnson yielded a one-out single to Mark Belanger, then got Palmer ooking at a called third strike By ROB WISHART BALTIMORE (UPI) Pittsburgh Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh defended the baserunning of two of his players which led to an out in the ninth inning and allowed the Orioles to walk slugger Roberto Clemente in the 10th inning of Saturday's World Series equalizer. With one out in the ninth pirate Manny Sanguilen tried to stretch a single into a double and was thrown out.

Baltimore had a chance to win it in the ninth when, with Belanger on first base and two out, Buford doubled into the right field corner.

Dave Giusti gave up the tying run in the seventh inning on a Dave Johnson single, which drove in Mark Belanger. "Johnsn, hit a palm ball," Giusti explained. "I guess I should have gotten it a little lower." The Pirates left nine men on base Saturday, bringing their total for the Series to 59 --with 51 of them in scoring position. Murtaugh blamed it partially on his batters but gave Baltimore pitchers some credit. "We had the chances, but we didn't get them in," Murtaugh said.
