It reduces attendance and spreads interest so thin that fans lose some of those loyalty strings to a particular school. I'm just not in favor of television having so ABC college much clout." football announcer Keith Jackson. SEATTLE (AP) The Seattle Seahawks finally have a victory. "We definitely needed that one," defensive star Rufus Porter said. "It was no fun being all alone in last place." The Seahawks became the last of the NFL's 28 teams to win a game this season, and they did it in impressive fashion Monday night. Their defense didn't give up a touchdown in a 6 victory over Boomer Esiason and the Cincinnati Bengals. On a night when Porter sacked Esiason twice and broke up three passes, Dave Krieg completed 17 of 24 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns, Derrick Fenner scored three TDs and Tommy Kane teamed up with Krieg on a scoring pass. "It's been a tough, hard struggle to get that first win," Seahawks coach Chuck Knox said. "For the last two weeks, we've been playing well enough to win," John L. Williams said. "Now I hope we can win the rest of our ball games." If the Seahawks (1-play as well as they did against the Bengals, they could.

It told the story: Toronto 2, Baltimore 0. Then Toronto 2, Baltimore 1. And Toronto 3, Baltimore 3. Finally, Baltimore 6, Toronto 3. In other games it was Detroit 2, New York 0; California 2, Oakland 0; Minnesota 7, Seattle 5; and Texas 4, Milwaukee 2. "We were watching, but we didn't need to," said Boston's Jody Reed. "Every time they changed the score, the crowd roared." And the Red Sox refused to let a Chicago comeback in the eighth inning spoil their party Monday night. After the White Sox scored three runs for a 3 tie, the Red Sox came right back. Dwight Evans, nearly 39 and winding down his 18th season, run in the drove in the Boston half of the eighth. That lifted the Red Sox to a 3 victory that clinched a tie for the AL East title. With two games left, Boston is two games ahead of Toronto. "I have one mission," Evans said. "That's to come through in a situation like that. It's great, a great feeling." But, Evans, the onlv Boston plav-e- r still left from the 1975 and 1986 AL championship teams, cautioned his younger teammates. "The job's not over yet," he said. "We want to win it. We don't want to back into it." "In 1988, we kind of backed into it," said Reed, noting that Boston went 6 in the final week while winning the division by one game. "It's nice to take the bull by the homs and do the work for yourself." "It was like it's been all year," third baseman Wade Boggs said. "It was just an emotionally packed left-fiel- 3-- 4-- game." "We know we have a tie right but we want to win this thing," said Ellis Burks, who singled and scored on Evans hit through the middle. "We don't want to back into it. We want to win it and celebrate." "We just want to win and get this thing over with, get a little rest and get ready for Oakland," Mike Greenwell said. "Now is the time to step it up a notch," Reed said. "You play 162 games to get to the playoffs. So whenever you get there it's a big now, accomplishment. There are 26 teams and only four make it." Then, Reed added: "We can be at home and win, celebrate, have fun with the fans. This is what its' all about."

But Dan Pasqua singled and Robin Ventura doubled tying the score. Jeff Reardon replaced Andersen and ended the eighth with the help of Wade Boggs. who robbed Scott Fletcher of a hit with a fine backhanded play on a grounder inside the third base bag. Reardon, who underwent back surgery for a ruptured disc on Aug. 4, then retired the White Sox in order in the nith, striking out two. That improved his record to along with 20 saves. He is 0 with 2 saves in 6 appearances since returning from the disabled ranks, "I was probably as pumped up for the final out as I've ever been," Reardon said . 5--3, 2-- |
