ALL TOURS NON SMOKING ON BOARD COACH Jays dump Orioles to clinch pennant TORONTO (CP) — The Toronto Blue Jays ‘won baseball’s American League East title Saturday as Mookie Wilson, Fred McGriff and George Bell drove in runs during a three-run eighth inning for a 4-3 victory over the second place Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore, which had nine hits to only four for Toron. to, fell three games behind the Blue Jays for the first time in September, bringing to a finish a tight race for the division championship. After completing the schedule today against the Orioles in what now is a meaningless game, Toronto moves ‘on to Oakland, where the AL championship series begins Tuesday night against the Athletics. Dave Johnson, Baltimore's surprise starter, allowed only two hits and retired 19 of 21 Blue Jays, but manager Frank Robinson removed the off-speed pitcher in the eighth after he issued a leadoff walk to Nelson Liriano. Kevin Hickey came in and walked pinch hitter Manny Lee and was replaced by Mark Williamson after falling in the count 2-1 on Lloyd Moseby Moseby sacrificed the runners up 90 feet and Rob Ducey ran for Lee Wiison hit a single, making the score 3-2. McGriff, ina 10-for-73 slump, lined a 2-2 pitch to right field to tie the score and push Wilson to third With the crowd of more than 49,000 on it feet and roaring, Bell hit a sacrifice fly to deep right field Frank Wills, 3-1, pitched four innings in relief of Jim- my Key, facing the minimum 12 batters. Tom Henke pit- ched a perfect ninth for his 20th save. Pete Harnisch, Baltimore’s scheduled starter, stepped ona nail walking back to his hotel room Friday night and was unable to play Saturday. Johnson arrived at the stadium Saturday morning to find two baseballs in his locker and he knew then, he said, that he was starting Despite losing his last five decisions and compiling a 5.35 ERA druing his last seven starts, Johnson had the Blue Jays over-swinging on his breaking balls. Key's game turned sour in the third inning after Robinson insisted the stadium lights be turned back on — something like a hockey coach asking for a stick to be measured. The umpires consented and an eight-minute delay resulted. Key went into the dugout during the delay A Blue Jays spokesman said the club had requested the lights be turned off before the game; but the maintenance crew didn’t get to it until the third inning With one out, Phil Bradley hit an infield single. When Stan Jefferson struck out it looked harmless, but Cal Ripkin hit a two-strike pitch for a ground-rule double into the left field corner. A fan touched the ball and home plate umpire John Shulock allowed Bradley to score from first, ruling that he'd of scored without the interference. Randy Milligan poked a run-scoring single through the hole bet ween short and third to put Baltimore into a 2-1 lead The Orioles added another run in the next inning when Mike Devereaux singled and went to third on Bob Melvin’s double off the right-field fence. Junior Felix, the right fielder, - misjudged the ball. Bradley hit an infield single behind second, just beating Tony Fernandez’s throw, to bringin the run Key struck out Jefferson again to end the inning. Wills started the fourth . Key, who'd won six of his seven prior decisions, allowed eight hits and struck out six After Key stranded Jefferson on third with one out in the first inning, Toronto took a 1-0 lead. Lloyd Moseby drew a leadoff walk and went to second on a hit-and-run play as Wilson literally threw his bat to make contact, grounding to short.
