BOSTON, Aug. 31.-The SEN
ators stirred up a three-run
rally against Dick Radatz in
the ninth inning tonight, but
they lost, 5-4, as Chuck Hinton
put an inglorious end to the
outburSt by taking a third
called strike with the tying and
lead runs on base.
The Red Sox' ace reliever
needed only three pitches to,
fan Hinton, who swung at only
one of them with Don Bla-
singame on third as the tying
run and Dick Phillips on first.
So the Senators fell a. run
short.
Radatz was called in to re-
lieve Bob Turley with two on
and two out in the eighth in
ming, and he famed Jim King
to end that threat. Radatz thus
gained a shaky save as he pre-
served Turkeys first victory for
Boston and only his third of
the season against 10 defeats.
Lock Fans 3 Times
The Red Sox were leading,
ST., and there was no hint of
the rally to come as Don Lock
struck out for the third time
in the game to lead off the
ninth. On Locks other time at
bat, he blasted a Turley pitch
into the centerfield bleachers
for his 23d home run.
Don thinner followed Locks
whiff with a double off the
leftfield wall, and Don Leppert
walked. Claude Osteen ran for
Leppert and Ed Brinkman also
walked, loading the bases.
Those in the crowd of $685.
who had started to leave hung
around.
Ken Retzer batted for Ron
Kline, the Senator's third
pitcher, and grounded to Dick
Stuart at first, scoring thinner
as the other runners advanced.
Don BlaSingame kept the
rally alive with a solid single
to right, but it was such a
short shot that Brinkman was
held up at third base. Osteen
scored on the hit, making it
SIS.
Manager Johnny Pesky went
to the mound for a talk to
Radatz, but left him in.
Dick Phillips followed with
another line single to right,
scoring Brinkman and sending
Blasingame to third, and max
ing the score, 5-4.
2 Walks Chase Turley
Hinton took a strike. swung
at a ball that looked low for
strike two, and then half
lunged at the third pitch but
held back. Umpire John Rice
said strike three and Hinton
started to argue, but Rice had
started for the dugout. Chuck
stood at the plate-bat in hand,
for several seconds, staring at
the ground.
Turley had a two-hitter for
the 725 innings that he pitched,
but after he walked Pinch
hitter 30 Osborne and Hinton
in the eighth inning, Pesky
brought in Radatz to pitch to
King.
The only hits off Turley we're
Kings liner off Chuck Schill-
ing's glove in the first inning,
and Locks leadoff home run in
the seventh. Turley walked six
and famed the same number.
Steve Ridzik, the starter and
loser, Ed Roebuck and Kline
stopped Carl Yastrzemski, the
leagues leading hitter and
Dick Stuart, who is tops in
homers and runs batted in, both
of them going 0-for-4.
Ridzik Hit Hard
But Felix Mantilla and Frank
Malone had three hits each as
the Red Sox rolled up 10 with
out help from their leaders.
Boston scored off Ridzik in
the third when Mantilla sin
gled with two out, stole second
and came home on Chuck
Schilling's double to the left
field corner.
Boston hit Ridzik hard in
the fourth, scoring three runs
with two out. Malone singled
and Lou Clinton walked with
one away. After Ed Bressoud
flied to left, Russ Nixon dou-
bled to left scoring one run,
and Turley poked a two-run
single to left, Mantilla singled,
before Schilling ended the in
ming with a forceout.
The Red Sox scored what
proved to be the winning run
off Kline in the eighth, again
with two away.
Malone singled and, with
two out, Bressoud laced a dou-
BILE to deep center scoring NAL
zone. Nixon was Intentionally
passed and Kline famed
Radatz.
Turley has won 102 games in
the major leagues, and al
more than a fifth-have been
against Washington teams.
