Bevacqua lifts San Diego SAN DIEGO (AP) — Kurt Bevacqua atoned for a rally killing blunder in Game One with a three-run homer, vaulting San Diego to a 5-3 vic tory over the Detroit Tigers Wednesday night and a split of the first two games of the 1984. World Series. The American League cham pion Tigers scored three runs in the first inning off Ed Whitson, but this time, Padres’ Manager Dick Williams made his move before it was too late. Williams removed Whitson with one out left in the inning, and relief pit cher Andy Hawkins turned giant-killer. Hawkins, a part-time starter who had two complete games during the season, pitched 5 1-3 innings, gave up just one hit before he gave way to left hander Craig Lefferts, who started the seventh. The Padres scratched back with a run in the first on Graig Nettles’ sacrifice fly and another in the fourth on a fielder’s choice grounder by Bobby Brown that scored Bevac qua to make it 3-2. In the fifth, the Padres finally chased Tigers’ starter Dan Petry, 18-8 during the season, with Bevacqua’s three-run homer. In San Diego’s 3-2 loss in Game One, Bevacqua had knocked the Padres out of a potential rally by stumbling while trying to stretch a leadoff double in the seventh inning in to a triple. But Williams kept his faith in the 37-year-old designated hitter and moved him up three notches to sixth in the batting order. His home run came after a walk to Nettles and a bad hop single by Terry Kennedy on a shot that bounced off second baseman Lou Whitaker’s chest. As he watched the ball sail in to the left field seats, Bevacqua jumped in the air and spun around at first base. He pumped the No. 1 sign with a finger as he rounded second, and as he trotted around third, Bevacqua pressed both hands against his lips and blew a kiss to the crowd of 57,911 at Jack Murphy Stadium. Even in his moment of infamy on Tuesday night, they had not booed him. Now, they cheered him. He wound up with three hits in the game, as did teammates Alan Wiggins and Garry Templeton. The victory kept the Padres alive as the Series moves to Detroit for games No. 3, 4 and 5 on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. No team had ever lost the first two games at home and come back to win a best-of-7 Series. Hawkins also pitched two scoreless innings in Game One, giving up one hit in relief of starter Mark Thurmond, who had struggled all evening before leaving with the Padres behind 3-2. Hawkins was nearly flawless again Wednesday night. He got the last out in the first and retired 13 in a row before Kirk Gibson led off the sixth with a bloop single to left.
