TDIB: April 30 - Carter Drives Expos To Win

Montreal used the bat of the National League's hottest hitter as Gary Carter (.438, 4 HR, 14 RBI) hits his second home run of the evening - a two-run blast that brakes a 2-2 tie and gives pitcher Hal Dues (1-2, 7.20 ERA) his first win of the season.

Carter starts the scoring for Montreal in the first inning, driving home Warren Cromartie (.286, 3 SB) with a two-out, line drive single just over the head of Dodgers shortstop Rafael Landestoy. Then after Los Angeles ties the ball game on a RBI single by Davey Lopes (.310, 14 RBI) in the fifth, Carter delivers again in the top of the sixth, hitting his first home run of the evening, a 339-foot fly off of Don Sutton (2-2, 2.79 ERA) that just cleared the left field wall.

"There isn't too many ballparks where that is a home run." A dejected Sutton said afterward. "Unfortunately, Montreal has one of them. Don Baylor catches that ball in LA."

The Dodgers are not ones to go down easy and tie the game again in the bottom of the inning. Steve Garvey (.235) and Reggie Smith (.326) greet Dues with singles to open the frame and Rick Monday draws a five pitch walk to load the bases with nobody out. Luckily, Dues gets Ron Cey to hit into a 5-4-3 double play and although a run scored - the major threat was extinguished.

"That was a big ground ball for me." Dues said while icing his arm. "It was a slider away and I got him (Cey) out in front of it. If he gets a base hit there - the flood gates might have opened up."

Carter finishes the game with three hits, driving in four runs while scoring twice and helped move the Expos into second place in the National League East. He currently leads the Major Leagues in hitting at .438 and is in the top ten in home runs and runs batted in.

"This team has so much heart." an estatic Carter said after the game. "They truly do not know the word quit. Up here it's called quitte with one of those little dashes above the e - but none of these guys know that."

Hal Dues gives up seven hits and two earned runs over eight innings to lower his ERA to a nice 7.20. After winning his first two starts, Don Sutton has lost two of his last three as the LA offense has scored six runs total over that span. Wayne Garrett (.324) continues carrying a hot bat, gaining two more hits.

TDIB: June 10 - Jackson Hits No. 300

Many of the 24,000 who still remained at Yankees Stadium to witness the finish of the Twins crushing of their beloved boys from New York was looking for something - anything - to celebrate. Down 13-2, but were still waiting to see if Reggie Jackson could do something that has only been done 36 other times in the history of baseball - hit 300 home runs

And he did it like only he can - in grand fashion.

After giving up two runs on a single to Bucky Dent (.117, 4 RBI) and having the bases full of Yankees, Minnesota reliever Tom Burgmeier was welcomed by Jackson (.307, 19 HR, 47 RBI) as he crushed his fastball 422 feet into the upper deck in right for a grand slam. Even though New York was still down four runs, the Bronx crowd gave Reggie an ovation as he rounded the bases so loud, that you would have thought the Yanks had just won the pennant.

"Reggie's never been a person to call his shots, but Reggie was ticked at the way we were playing." Jackson said afterward. "Reggie came here for a reason - to win ball games and win championships. We can't do that by giving up 13 runs in a game. Yeah, number 300 was nice and Reggie is glad Reggie got to hit it front of the New York fans, but in the end, we lost the game and Reggie doesn't like losing."

Catfish Hunter looked remarkably hittable as Minnesota tagged him for four runs in the first inning thanks in part to a RBI double by Rod Carew (280, 21 RBI) and a two-run home run by Roy Smalley (.219, 6 HR, 19 RBI). Hunter would settle down until the fifth, but Lyman Bostock (.278, 13 RBI) and Butch Wynegar (.274, 21 RBI) would lead off the inning with back-to-back doubles and Larry Hisle (.252, 8 HR, 29 RBI) would follow a Carew intentional walk with a three-run shot the left that put the Twins up 8-1 and ended Hunter's day.

"The top of their order just killed me." Hunter said afterward. "I probably dropped my shoulder a little on my delivery causing by pitches to be higher than where I wanted them."

Lifetime Jackson is hitting .268 with 1359 hits, 837 runs scored and 871 runs batted in. His 300 home runs places him tied with Philadelphia Phillies great Chuck Klein for 37th on the all-time career list. His 19 home runs, 47 RBI, and .606 slugging percentage this season are all major league leading totals.

Lyman Bostock has three hits and scores three runs, Rod Carew scores three times and drives in a pair, Larry Hisle drives in four and Roy Smalley drives in three more as the Twins get eight straight basrunners in the fifth inning en route to a seven run inning. The 13 runs are the most given up by New York this season.
