Show Dodgers Nip ks.4-3;Claim2-0Le- ad Win Came on Classic Finish - Now the (LTD New York Yankees, having been "smoked" away by rookie Bob Welch in the ninth inning of Wednesday night s gripping second game of the World Series, can understand the frustration the Boston Red Sox must have felt. It was indeed a classic finish to a a finish so most memorable game ironically reminiscent to the Yankees' 4 playoff win over the Red Sox 10 days ago. The only difference this time is the Yankees still have time to recoup as the Series moves to New York for games 3, 4 and 5 at Yankee Stadium. The Dodgers, behind the "Penguin Power" of Ron Cey's three-ru- n homer, were holding a precarious 3 lead going into the ninth inning. But they had their relief ace, Terry Forster, to get the last three Yankee outs and what looked to be the easiest part of the order coming to bat. Yankee Manager Bob Lemon had run out of spare infielders so he couldn't for his pinch-hi- t shortstop Bucky Dent. So Dent singled to start things off. Roy White's bouncer back to the mound moved Dent into scoring position at second. Howevtr, the next batter, Paul Blair, was also more noted for his glove than his bat and Lemon had no one to hit for him either. So Blair walked. And Dodger Manager Tommy Lasorda walked too, very slowly to the mound. old rightHe wanted Welch, the hander who became a professional only a little over a year ago. d Welch got the hitting Thurman Munson on a liner to right and the capacity crowd of 55,982 gasped a collective sigh while wondering and worrying if Lasorda would entrust the youngster to pitch to Reggie Jackson, the Yankees' ' Mr October" who had driven in all their previous three runs LOS ANGELES 5-- 4-- light-hittin- g right-hande- double in the third and an on a two-ruinfield out in the seventh. The next few minutes were positively n nerve shattering. A strike, a ball, three straight fouls, another ball, another foul, another ball and finally a majestic swing and a miss. Bedlam. 'Tommy just gave me the ball and told me to throw strikes," said Welch. "I wanted to go after them and make them hit my best pitch, that's why I threw all fastballs. I've been in some tough situations before but the adrenaline was flowing. I'm just happy Tommy gave me the ball and then stuck with me." If the Red Sox were watching, they must have felt a trace of redemption. For just a week ago Monday they faced the same crucial situation against the Yankees, trailing by a run with one out in the ninth inning and their two best hitters, Jim Rice and Carl Yastrzemski coming to bat against Rich Gossage with Jerry Remy on second base. A flyout by Rice moved Remy to third, but Yastrzemski was unable to deliver him, popping out meekly in foul territory behind third base to end the season. Jackson, who flung his bat against the dugout wall in disgust after his strikeout, was asked later if he felt a little like Yastrzemski. "No," he answered tersely and then added, "I had something on my mind. I was upset about something but I'm not gonna talk about it. I saw all fastballs up. He (Welch) tried to keep the ball up. He did an outstanding job. He put the pitches where he wanted them. I just got beat, that's all." Although trailing now two games to nothing with at least two questionable starters from here on out, Lemon remained unflappable in the face of yet one more uphill battle. "When I took over the club. I had two months to get things going.'' said Lemon, "this time I've got onlv a couple of days But I felt Catfish Yank starter Jim Hunter i pitched very well. He had things under control except when Cey got to him." Cey, who singled home the first Dodger run in the fourth, got to Hunter two innings later when, after singles by Davey Lopes and Reggie Smith he ammed a pitch over the wall in 2-- 0 r. "With two outs and two on. I was just looking for something I felt I could hit hard.'' explained Cey. "But when I hit it, I knew it was out. "If we can beat Guidry on Friday. I think we can sweep." For the 15th time this year, the Yankees will be calling on Guidry, their winning mealticket, to come to their rescue after a defeat. The Dodgers will counter with veteran righthander Don Sutton. "Our shock troops came through pretty good tonight," said Lemon, in reference to Jim Spencer who replaced Chris Chambliss (injured wrist) at first base and Gary Thomasson, who replaced Mickey Rivers in center field. Rivers is suffering from leg and hip in juries, but a skirmish on the Yankee team bus before the game with Bill Kane, a club vice president, was also believed to have played a part in the moody outfielder's benching. "There was no fight," said Lemon, a little disturbance. Just a misinterpretation of the rules." It would appear, however, that with the Rivers-Kan- e altercation plus Jackson's sudden unrest, the Yankees are reverting back to their old feuding ways. The Dodgers found out last year that can be disillusioning and fatal as st well.
