President Reagan has decided that the United States will continue to honor provisions of a six-year-old, unratified strategic arms agreement with the Soviet Union but with modifications to take account of perceived Soviet violations of the accord, Administration officials said today. They said messages informing the Soviet Union and American allies of the decision were being sent out by the State Department tonight. Members of Congress will be briefed Monday after a public announcement is made in the afternoon. The decision by the President was a defeat for Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger, who had made a strong appeal to Mr. Reagan to announce that the United States would no longer abide by the 1979 strategic arms limitation treaty, known as Salt II. Although the treaty was never ratified by the United States or the Soviet Union, both sides agreed not to undercut its major provisions, particularly those dealing with numerical limits on arsenals.
Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktaş won a decisive victory in the first presidential elections in the breakaway “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus,” which he proclaimed in 1983 and which is recognized only by Turkey. With the ballot count completed, Denktaş, 62, had 70% of the votes, with the rest divided among five others. The island has been split since Turkey occupied the northern third after an abortive coup in 1974. Denktash said he would be willing to form a federation with Greek Cypriots on the divided island.
Swiss voters overwhelmingly defeated a proposed constitutional amendment that would have drastically limited abortions and banned some contraceptives. Election officials said 69% voted against the amendment while 31% voted for it. The plan, advocated by Roman Catholic and some Protestant groups, called for a “right to life” clause in the constitution that would have banned all abortions except in cases where a pregnant woman’s life was clearly in danger.
Twenty-five independents won seats in the 387-member Hungarian Parliament in the most open elections since the Communists took power at the end of World War II, according to results released today. Parliament’s final makeup will not be determined until June 22, when runoff elections will be held in 45 districts where no candidate got a majority. On Saturday, 71 independents ran in the election without the sponsorship of the Patriotic People’s Front, the Communist organization that dominates Hungarian politics. All candidates had to sign a pledge, written by the front, that said they would abide by the rules of a socialist society. Multiple candidacies have been permitted since the 1970’s, but this was the first election held under a 1983 law that made contested races mandatory for 352 of the 387 seats. Only one non-People’s Front candidate had previously been elected to Parliament since 1949, when Hungary held its first election under Communist rule.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said she would make the decision again to sink the Argentine warship Belgrano, as she did in the 1982 Falklands war. The sinking killed 368 seamen. Asked by television interviewer David Frost about reports that the ship was sailing for home when torpedoed, she said: “Just because a ship changes direction doesn’t mean it is sailing away from the field of battle. That ship was a danger to our boys.” Asked whether her government hadn’t tried to “stonewall” the details, she replied: “Do you think, Mr. Frost, that I spend my days prowling round the pigeonholes of the Ministry of Defense to look at the chart of each and every ship? If you do, you must be bonkers.”
A French Army colonel was seized by the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army while he was negotiating for the release of the kidnapped 21 Finnish United Nations troops. He was held briefly and freed unharmed. Political sources in Israel said he was released after France put heavy pressure on the Israeli Foreign Ministry. Meanwhile, Israeli security sources said General Antoine Lahd, the Christian commander of the S.L.A., had told his Israeli Army advisers he would resign as chief of the pro-Israeli militia if Israel tried to force him to release the 21 Finns without the return of 11 of his men whom the Finns reportedly handed over to the Shiite Amal militia Friday.
American educator Thomas Sutherland is kidnapped by eight gunmen and held hostage in Lebanon. He would become the second-longest held captive after Terry Anderson. He was released on November 18, 1991, having spent 2,353 days in captivity In 1983, Sutherland had moved to Beirut to take up a three-year term as dean of the faculty of agriculture and food science at the American University in Beirut. Despite the assassination of University President Malcolm H. Kerr and the kidnapping of Professor Frank Reiger in 1984, and repeated warnings from the State Department imploring him to leave Lebanon, Sutherland chose to remain at the University. Two weeks after David P. Jacobsen was abducted, Sutherland was also kidnapped while using the limousine of University President Calvin Plimpton. Upon his release in 1991, Sutherland claimed that the kidnappers mistook him for Plimpton. In June 2001, the Sutherland family won a $323 million verdict in a lawsuit against the frozen assets of the government of Iran, because of evidence that Iran had directed terrorists to kidnap Americans in Lebanon. In accordance with Section 2002 of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, Pub. L. 106–386, Sutherland and his family received $35,041,877.36 (including interest) and the lien for the rest of the original settlement is now held by the US Government.
Palestinian guerrillas in the hills east of Beirut bombarded positions of Shiite fighters who were attacking three Palestinian settlements south of the Lebanese capital today. Artillery shells and rockets struck the Shiite positions near the settlements as the Arab League met in Tunis to discuss the three-week-old conflict. A Christian radio station said today that Libyan soldiers had joined the Palestinian guerrillas in the mountains above Beirut. There was no confirmation of the report. The police said 16 people were killed and 25 wounded in the clashes around the settlements in the last 24 hours, raising the number of dead in the conflict to 540.
Egypt’s repeal of the women’s law last month has raised protests from feminists and liberals and has put President Hosni Mubarak’s Government in a politically awkward position. Egypt’s Supreme Court struck down the “personal status” amendments of 1979 that required a man to notify his wife officially if he took a second wife. In Egypt, where there is no ban on polygamy, such a notification could provide a wife with ground for divorce, alimony, custody of children and a new home.
Iraqi warplanes staged a rare daylight attack on the Iranian capital of Tehran and struck at six other cities as part of Baghdad’s stepped-up air offensive. Iran said there were no casualties in the strike on the capital but that 78 Kurdish refugees were killed and 120 wounded in an Iraqi air attack on a camp in northwest Iran. Iran said that in retaliation, it shelled several Iraqi military and industrial targets, including the port of Basra. At least 78 people were killed and more than 120 were wounded later today in an Iraqi air raid on a Kurdish refugee camp in northwest Iran, the Iranian press agency said. The agency, monitored in London, said that the camp, in western Azerbaijan Province, was near the border with Turkey and that the refugees were all of Iraqi origin. More than 90 percent of the casualties were women and children, the press agency said.
At least 14 people were burned to death today and six others were killed in the western state of Gujarat in continuing Hindu-Muslim clashes over an affirmative action program for underprivileged groups. The police said the worst violence was in Ahmedabad, where arsonists set rows of houses ablaze in the city’s old quarter. They said that 14 bodies had been recovered and that more people might have been trapped by flames, which swept through four areas of the heavily populated city. The police said up to 50 people had been injured in the violence, which also affected the city of Baroda and the port of Surat. Such clashes have killed nearly 40 people in the last three days and nearly 170 since trouble broke out three months ago.
Nicaraguan rebels acknowledged that two of their bases were destroyed and supply lines cut after two weeks of ground and air strikes by government troops near Nicaragua’s southern border. In a broadcast, the Costa Rica-based Democratic Revolutionary Alliance said Sandinista forces bombed the bases at El Castillo and La Penca in late May. Contradicting reports of heavy casualties, the guerrillas reported only two dead.
The Mengele farm tool company’s former manager and his wife are to be questioned by the West German prosecutor to determine if they obstructed justice in the investigation of the disappearance of Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi war criminal. The former manager of the Bavarian company is Hans Sedlmeier. On May 31, the West German police found letters in his home in Gunzburg, Bavaria, that led the Brazilian police last week to exhume a body near Sao Paulo that they suspect is Dr. Mengele’s.
Brazil agreed to allow United States and West German experts to work with its authorities in determining whether Dr. Mengele died there in 1979, a source close to the investigation said. Forensic tests on the body exhumed last week that some evidence indicates might be Dr. Mengele’s are to be carried out first by Brazilian medical examiners, according to the source, who said that it is essential that any positive identification must be endorsed by international experts.
Norway approved measures to restrict trade with South Africa, including licensing of all trade and a total ban on imports of South African fruit and vegetables. The Oslo government, welcoming moves by the U.S. Congress to impose sanctions against South Africa to protest its system of racial segregation, said it will also introduce compulsory registration of Norwegian ships calling at South African ports. One anti-apartheid group charges that Norwegian tankers supply at least one-third of Pretoria’s oil.
The Soviets’ Vega 1 spacecraft, bound for a rendezvous with Halley’s Comet next March, launched a descent module that is to explore the planet Venus, Radio Moscow reported. A balloon probe will separate from the landing craft and float through the Venusian atmosphere, collecting information on its composition, the broadcast said. The module is expected to reach Venus on Tuesday, the radio said.
Senator Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vermont) said the spy ring allegedly operated by John A. Walker Jr. and two members of his family handed Soviet intelligence “one of the biggest coups of this decade.” Leahy, appearing on WRC-TV in Washington, said he believes that the alleged betrayal of Navy secrets has made U.S. submarines more vulnerable. “I think enormous damage” has been done, said Leahy, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He said it would have to be called “one of the biggest coups of this decade” for Soviet intelligence.
President Reagan returns to the White House from the weekend at Camp David.
Upgrading of military hospital care is the aim of measures instituted by the Department of Defense and termed strict by military and civilian officials. The drive was begun after a number of patients’ deaths or injuries were ascribed to negligence by military doctors. Some of the most prestigious military hospitals have been caught up in malpractice cases. Internal audits have reported serious deficiencies in the appointment and evaluation of doctors, and a survey of more than 19,000 patients last year found that most families were dissatisfied with military care, ranking it below civilian care in all respects.
The average price of gasoline increased for the fourth straight month, bringing it to a two-year high, an industry analyst said. The uninterrupted price climb is a signal of the impact that the government’s lead-additive “phase down” program will have this summer, oil industry statistician Dan Lundberg said. The overall price of gasoline last week hit a nationwide average of $1.2327, compared to the same week last year, when it was at $1.2070, he said. The government has set July 1 as the date to reduce lead content in gasoline from 1.1 grams per gallon to 0.5 of a gram. Lundberg has predicted regional shortages of gasoline and higher prices as the lead-reduction program goes into effect.
Negotiators postponed for one day talks in New York’s bitter and sometimes violent hotel strike even though a union spokesman had reported both sides “closer than ever before” to a settlement. The negotiators in the 9-day-old strike reportedly were so close, in fact, that they turned down an invitation from Mayor Edward I. Koch for a bargaining session at his Gracie Mansion residence. About 16,000 hotel employees, from bellhops to bartenders, struck 53 hotels on June 1, the start of the lucrative tourist season.
As many as 22 more bodies may be buried around a California cabin where the authorities have already found the remains of three people, the police said today. Investigators at the cabin about 150 miles east of San Francisco found a videotape showing a partially clad, handcuffed woman pleading for her baby’s return and a diary chronicling the activities of Leonard Lake, who committed suicide in police custody on Thursday. San Francisco Chief of Police Cornelius Murphy said today that based on evidence found at the retreat, the authorities believed that as many as 22 people were missing and may have been been killed, in addition to the bodies already found. The authorities believe Mr. Lake and Charles Chatt Ng, 24 years old, are responsible for the killings. Mr. Ng is at large. “A number of people whose lives have sometime been touched by Lake or Ng are missing,” Chief Murphy said. “Topside, we’re talking about 25 people.”
The jury in the attempted murder retrial in Providence, Rhode Island, of Danish socialite Claus von Bülow reported “considerable progress” in deciding the case, but said it needed more time before reaching a verdict and then adjourned for the day. The jury has deliberated for nearly 11 hours since Friday. Von Bülow is standing trial a second time on charges he tried to kill his heiress wife, Martha (Sunny) von Bülow, with insulin injections in 1979 and 1980. She remains in an irreversible coma. Jurors today reheard key testimony that helped convict him three years ago as they weighed whether he twice tried to kill his wife with insulin injections. “Insulin — what for insulin?” were the words of Maria Schrallhammer, the maid of Mr. von Bulow’s heiress wife, Martha, in describing her reaction to finding a black bag of drugs, needles and a syringe in Mr. von Bulow’s New York study.
A two-man, 10-woman jury in Cincinnati recommended death by electrocution for Alton Coleman, 29, for the murder of a 15-year-old girl during a Midwest crime spree last summer. Coleman was found guilty Saturday of aggravated murder in the slaying of Tonnie Storey of Cincinnati. Sentencing was set for June 24. In a separate trial for the same killing, Coleman’s accomplice in the crime spree, Debra Brown, 22, was convicted Friday of the same charges.
An idiosyncratic former agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is expected to offer crucial testimony early this week in the trial of a Soviet emigre couple accused of conspiring with him to pass secret intelligence documents to the Soviet Union. The witness, Richard W. Miller, 48 years old, is the first FBI agent ever accused of espionage. He will face a jury that has already heard testimony depicting him as a man who was told he was playing out of his league in the counterespionage game. Jurors also heard a tape of him as he told one of the emigres she had stolen his heart and testimony that he refused to exchange a pair of ill-fitting burgundy shoes because their color appealed to him.
Another Frustaci septuplet died, leaving three surviving. Bonnie Marie Frustaci, the weakest of the four who lived following the death of three others soon after their birth in May had a lung ailment. The infant died at 12:25 P.M., said Doug Wood, a spokesman for Childrens Hospital of Orange County. “She died of cardiopulmonary failure and arrest due to severe hyaline membrane disease,” an inability to produce a substance that keeps lungs from collapsing, Mr. Wood said.
An Air Force enlisted woman was acquitted of selling classified information to an Air Force undercover investigator posing as a representative of a major defense contractor. A seven-member board of officers returned its verdict in the court-martial at Luke Air Force Base at Glendale, Arizona, of Senior Airman Paula Wilderman, 22. Wilderman, arrested July 12, 1984, could have faced a dishonorable discharge and up to 18 years in jail if convicted.
Most people believe that most corporate executives are dishonest, that white-collar crime is frequent and that those few executives caught receive lenient punishment, a CBS-New York Times poll said. The poll of 1,509 adults found that only 32% of the public believes that most corporate executives are honest, while 55% believe most are not. The rest had no opinion.
A slump in the computer industry has been sudden, deep and unexpected and shows no signs of going away. The slowdown has been a rude shock to an industry that has always believed in its own boundless future. Never before, experts say, has it been so hard to earn a profit in the computer industry. To find out why, executives and analysts were interviewed. They see an industry facing problems, many of them new, that may not be resolved soon. John A. Walker Jr.’s troubled family is at the center of what the authorities call one of the major spy rings in United States history. The Federal Bureau of Investigation says family ties helped him obtain classified information he sold to the Soviet Union. And it was family turmoil that apparently led to his downfall.
Employers in the fast-food restaurant industry report they are having growing difficulty finding people to fill jobs, even at wages above the Federal minimum of $3.35 an hour, according to a survey by the private Bureau of National Affairs. The survey’s findings, for release on Monday, are likely to figure in a heated debate in Congress over whether an Adminstration proposal calling for a lower minimum wage for teen-age workers would induce businesses to create new jobs. “It suggests that even if the minimum wage is lowered by employers for teen-agers in the summer, they may not find very many takers,” said Audrey Freedman, an economist on the staff of the Conference Board, a business research group.
A free market for water is emerging in parts of the West, where most water has been sold by Federal and state reclamation agencies at fixed rates kept low by subsidies. Water is expected to be brokered like oil, produce and grain.
Houston’s Spanish-speaking people may now shop at a big new shopping center built for them. The 17-acre Mercado del Sol is billed as “the nation’s largest Hispanic theme festival center” but it is not primarily a tourist attraction. It is aimed at what has become a critical part of the social and political life in the fourth largest city in the United States.
French Open Men’s Tennis: Sweden’s Mats Wilander wins 4th career Grand Slam title; beats Czech star Ivan Lendl 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. Mats Wilander said before the French Open final today that he would not play exclusively from the baseline, and he was as good as his word as he won the title from an ineffective Ivan Lendl. Lately he has opened his game somewhat, and he was seen practicing his volley in the mornings during the last few days of the two-week, clay-court tournament, the first Grand Slam event of the year.
NBA Championship, Boston Garden: Los Angeles Lakers beat Boston Celtics, 111-100 for a 4 games to 2 series victory; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the Finals MVP. At the age of 38, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did today what no other Laker was able to accomplish in eight previous attempts over 26 years – he led his team to victory over the Boston Celtics in the championship round. Playing with youthful zest, Abdul-Jabbar, in his 16th pro season, scored 29 points as Los Angeles triumphed at Boston Garden. The Lakers, in the final for the fourth straight season under Coach Pat Riley, won the four-of-seven-game series, 4–2. The Celtics lost in the title round for only the second time in their history. They were prevented from becoming the first team since 1969 to win successive National Basketball Association championships. The only other time the Celtics, 15-time league champions, were beaten in the final was in 1958 by the St. Louis Hawks.
Major League Baseball:
Leon Durham’s run-scoring double and a two-run single by Chris Speier keyed a four-run rally in the sixth inning today that led the Chicago Cubs past the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5–1, for a four-game sweep. With the Cubs trailing, 1–0, Davey Lopes singled with one out in the sixth off Jim Winn (1–1), and Keith Moreland walked. Durham greeted the reliever Al Holland with his double to tie the game, and Ron Cey was walked intentionally. Jody Davis drew a walk from the reliever Don Robinson to force home Moreland with the lead run, and Speier followed with his two-run single.
Joe Niekro becomes the winningest pitcher in Houston Astros history with a two-hit shutout of the Giants, 5–0. Mark Bailey helps his batterymate with a three-run blast. Niekro had failed in the previous six starts to notch his 138th win as an Astro, leading to offers from Niekro to pay the hitters for helping him set the mark. Niekro (3–6) retired 18 of the first 19 batters he faced as the Astros gained their ninth straight victory over the Giants going back to last season. The Astros swept the three-game series. In three games the Giants managed a total of just two runs on 15 hits.
The Mets spent another up-and-down afternoon at Shea Stadium yesterday in front of a crowd of 41,431, one minute resembling a team charging out of a slump, the next digging itself a deeper hole. They split a doubleheader with the St. Louis Cardinals, taking the opener, 6–1, behind Dwight Gooden, who improved his record to 9–3. But in the nightcap, the Mets reverted to the lack of offense that has haunted them throughout the season. Joaquín Andújar shut them out for seven innings and won his seventh consecutive game and 11th in 12 1985 decisions, 8–2. The Cards Terry Pendleton legs out an inside-the-park grand slam off Joe Sambito in game 2 as Mets centerfielder Terry Blocker and right fielder Danny Heep collide.
The Braves routed the Dodgers 10–3. Dale Murphy hit a home run and drove in three runs to help the rookie Steve Shields earn his first major league victory. Shields (1–0) gave up eight hits over six innings in his third big-league game. Atlanta took a 2–0 lead in the first inning off Fernando Valenzuela (5–6). With one out Brad Komminsk singled and Murphy hit his 14th home run. Los Angeles drew to 2–1 in the second on Mike Marshall’s ninth home run, and Atlanta got a run in the third on a run-scoring double by Bob Horner. The Braves went ahead, 4–1, in the fifth on a run-scoring groundout by Terry Harper. The Braves added a run in the sixth on a run-scoring single by Murphy. Atlanta got a sacrifice fly from Glenn Hubbard and run-scoring singles by Larry Owen and Komminsk in the seventh.
Glenn Wilson hit a three-run homer in the first inning and Kevin Gross pitched seven strong innings for Philadelphia as the Phillies downed the Expos, 4–1. Gross (5–6) struck out eight and did not walk a batter in helping the Phillies break a four-game losing streak. Gross took a three-hitter and a 4–0 lead into the eighth, but left after the Expos loaded the bases with no outs on singles by Tim Wallach, Herm Winningham and Sal Butera. Reliever Don Carman retired Terry Francona, a pinch-hitter, on a pop-up and Tim Raines then hit a sacrifice fly. Kent Tekulve was summoned and struck out Vance Law to end the inning. Joe Hesketh (5–3) retired the first two Phillies in the first before giving up singles to Juan Samuel and Mike Schmidt before Wilson’s fifth homer of the season.
The Padres defeated the Reds 5–3. Andy Hawkins allowed one run in seven innings and raised his record to 11–0. San Diego scored four times in the eighth off Mario Soto. Hawkins, who leads the major leagues in victories, set a team record by earning his 11th victory without a loss. He surpassed the reliever Butch Metzger’s mark of 10 in 1976. Hawkins gave up eight hits, walked six and struck out two in his 12th start of the season. The Padres snapped a 1–1 tie with four runs in the eighth against Soto (8–4). Steve Garvey and Terry Kennedy singled and advanced on the catcher Alan Knicely’s passed ball, and Garvey raced home on a wild pitch by Soto. Kennedy scored on Kevin McReynolds’s single. Run-scoring singles by Carmelo Martinez and Garry Templeton capped the rally. The Reds scored twice in the ninth off the reliever Rich Gossage. Eddie Milner tripled and scored on a single by Pete Rose. Dave Parker then doubled and Knicely hit a sacrifice fly. But Dave Concepcion, who had extended his hitting streak to 12 games, grounded out to end the game. Rose had two singles in five times at bat, leaving him 47 hits shy of Ty Cobb’s career mark of 4,191.
Ron Romanick and Donnie Moore combined on an eight-hitter and Bob Boone singled in a run in the fourth as the California Angels edged the Kansas City Royals, 1–0, and regained first place in the American League West. The victory gave the Angels a half-game lead over the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City. The Royals led the division when the day began but fell to third place by a percentage point behind the White Sox. The Angels had lost five of their previous six games, including two straight to Kansas City.
This afternoon, the slumping Yankees were bombarded by three home runs among 13 hits, and they lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 9–4. With the leaders of the American League East, the Toronto Blue Jays, coming to Yankee Stadium Monday night and the Detroit Tigers following them, the Yankees are perhaps wishing that the schedule could be rearranged. The Brewers have won 14 of their last 19 games, including, over a long weekend, three of four from the Yankees. Today, Rickey Henderson gave the Yankees an instant lead with a home run to start the game, but the New Yorkers were not heard from again until the eighth inning, by which time the Brewers had piled up an 8–1 lead, inflicting most of the damage on Phil Niekro. “The shame is we were really looking forward to playing these games,” said Don Mattingly. “We still are. I’m pumped up right now, but I don’t think the team is supercharged.”
Lou Whitaker and Nelson Simmons hit home runs, powering Detroit to an 8–3 victory over Toronto and giving it a split of the four-game series. The Tigers, who dropped the first two games of the series, pulled back within six-and one-half games of the Blue Jays, the East leaders. Detroit broke open the game by scoring four runs in the sixth inning to take an 8–2 lead. The loser Jim Clancy (2–3) gave up a leadoff single to Simmons and was replaced by Dennis Lamp. Chet Lemon doubled Simmons to third and, with two outs, Whitaker was intentionally walked to load the bases. Alan Trammell singled home two runs and Kirk Gibson capped the rally with a two-run triple. Doug Bair (1–0) earned the victory in his second start of the season but got relief help from Bill Scherrer and Willie Hernandez.
Ken Phelps and Jim Presley each hit homers and drove in three runs for Seattle as the Mariners thumped the Indians, 10–6. Andre Thornton’s sacrifice fly gave Cleveland a 1–0 lead in the first, but Phelps hit a two-run homer to put Seattle ahead in the second. Phelps singled and later scored on Donnie Scott’s sacrifice fly in the fourth, then doubled home a run and scored as the Mariners scored five times in the sixth to take a 9–1 lead.
Dennis (Oil Can) Boyd threw a shut-out three-hitter and Jim Rice hit a homer to highlight a 17-hit attack as Boston won its seventh straight game, crushing the Orioles, 12–0. Boyd (7–4) became the first pitcher to shut out Baltimore this season. The Orioles, who were the only team not to have been held scoreless this season, were last shut out on Sept. 21, 1984, by Boyd. Mike Easler figured in three Boston rallies with a pair of doubles and a single. Marty Barrett also had three hits and drove in three runs.
The White Sox downed the Twins 5–1. Tom Seaver pitched 7 ⅔ innings for his 294th career victory and Daryl Boston hit a single and a towering homer for Chicago. Seaver (6–4) allowed five hits, including Tim Teufel’s home run in the third inning. The 40-year-old Seaver struck out three and walked one. The loss was sixth-place Minnesota’s 14th in its last 16 games. Chicago took a 1–0 lead in the second on a double by Ron Kittle and Marc Hill’s run-scoring single and made it 2–0 in the third.
Dave Kingman broke an eighth-inning tie with his 14th home run of the season, giving Oakland a second-game victory, 6–5 over the Rangers. Reliever Jay Howell got the win. Texas scored five runs in the fifth inning, on run-scoring singles by Gary Ward and Cliff Johnson, to win the opener of the doubleheader, 8–4.
