With Roadrunner Belting Extra Homers Braves Beat New York In llth Inning Northwwt ArkaiwK TIMES, May Wl TT After High-level Discussions BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Roadrunner standing on the corner, watching the baseball go bye, bye. "Yep, I Just watched the ball from thra batter's box after I hit it," said Atlanta's Ralph Garr, who carries the "Roadrunner" tag for his blinding speed. "I knew it was out of the park- but I was afraid it might go foul." The reason for the freeze, Garr said, was that tie wanted to conserve his energy--in case the ball was foul "and I would need all my strength to run on the next ball." Turns out, his fears were foundless. The ball clattered into the left-ffeld seats in fair territory and gave the Braves a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets in the llth dnning Monday night. "I'll never forget that," said Atlanta's prize new left-fielder who also had gams-tying homer In the 10th and beefed his baiting average to a National League-leading .44 with a 3-for- 6 night.

Pittsburgh beat Montreal Philadelphia turned back Cincinnati 3-2 and Houston beat San Diego 2-0 in the only other National League action. New York had AL Weis on third base with the potential lead run in 1 the llth inning when Atlanta's Bob Priddy threw one of Tiis pitches over the catcher's head. But the ball ricocheted off a back wall and shot back before Weis had a chance to come home. Garr not only made the timely hits, but timely catches as well. He made two robberies of drives iri the outfield, including Bud Harrelson's long belt up the alley in left-center, which the "Roadrunifer" simply outran.

Orlando Opeda was another Brave hero, stroking, a homer, off Seaver to lead off the ninth that tied the game 2-2. New York's Don Clendenon then ripped his second homer of the Same to give the Mets a 3-2 oulge before Garr came Lhrough. Roberto Clemente. who unloaded a homer in the eighth, cracked a two-run triple in tlia ninth to give Pittsburgh a come-back victory over Montreal. The Pirates trailed 5-4 when Gene Alley opened the last of the ninth with a single oft Expos' reltever Mike Marshall.

Gene Clines sacrificed Alley to second and he held there as Dave Cash beat out an infield hit. Vic Davalillo flied out, but then Clemente hit tha center field wall with his drive to score the lying and winning runs. Clemente had left Vive runners stranded prior to his batting splurge, coaxing boos from the 6.431 faithful at Three Rivers Stadium. Mike Ryan's tie-breaking homer in the eighth helped Philadelphia's Jim Sunning break a six-game losing streak. Running checked the Reds on five tiits for eight innings and drove in the Phillies' first two runs with a sacrifice fly anc lonicr.

a 11 Brandon )itched the ninth for Phila- ielphia, surviving a two-out by Bernie Carbo. Don Wilson fired a four-hitter and Jack Hiatl and Jim Wynn delivered run-scoring singles in the Houston cause. The only run Wilson needed to gain his fourth victory in six decisions was an unearned tally in the second inning. With two out, Doug Hader iingled and Jesus Alou was safe on an error. Hiatt then sliced a single to score Rader.

Wynn's infield single brought home Joe Morgan from i with Houston's other run in the eighth. NCAA-AAU Feud Might Be Halted Standings 18 19 .486 9 17 19 .472 9V4 By The Associated Press National League East Division W. L. Pet. G.B.
