I This time he sent up pinch batter Bill Doran who worked the play to perfection with Denny Walling scor ing from third base on the bunt back :■ tp pitcher Lee Smith. “Lee had no chance at it at all," id Doran. “It was a great call. I’ve jione it before but I’ve also loused it up before, too.” B Mark Bailey opened the 10th with I single and was forced by Walling. |Bert Pena singled Walling to third \ before Doran’s squeeze. ■ The Cubs had tied the game in gthe ninth on Ryne Sandberg’s 21st Ihomer and threatened in the 10th. Shawon Dunston singled and Gary Woods sacrificed him to second. ■ Bobby Dernier hit what looked dike a sure single to right only to ; have Jerry Mumphrey make a diving fcatch. Mumphrey then threw to sec- [Ond to double up Dunston and end the game. ■ “I got a real good jump and the ball kept coming to me," Mumphrey said. “I broke good. I never thought ig by me. Kevin Bass and Phil Garner had provided Houston’s offense in the earlier innings. Bass had four hits for the first time in his career and Garner hit a pair of triples and drove in three runs. Gary Matthews and Keith More land also homered for Chicago. Red Sox 6, Rangers 4 ARLINGTON — Jim Rice went 4-for-5, including a homer, and drove in three runs Tuesday night, leading the Boston Red Sox over the Texas Rangers 6-4. Rice hit nis 24th home run to lead off the second inning and added RBI singles in the third and the fifth. Bruce Hurst, 10-10, gave up seven hits over 7 1/3 innings and struck out 10 for the victory. Steve Crawford relieved Hurst and gave up a run-scoring single to Duane Walker with one out in the ninth, and Bruce Kison came on for his first save. Charlie Hough, 14-13, took the loss.

The Aggies are finally getting a chance to face some one new. Wednesday at 6 p.m., the Aggies will play a scrim mage against Stephen F. Austin in G. Rolhe White Col iseum. | “They’re tired of seeing me,” A&M Head Coach Terry Condon said. “This is the fourth week of practice and it’s getting monotonous." [ Outside hitter Margaret Spence agreed. “We are ready to play anybody," Spence said. “We ■ are tired of looking across the net at each other.” I Even though the Lumberjacks aren’t nearly a South- | west Conference caliber team, the match should give Condon a better look at her team. “We will look at some areas we haven’t worked that hard on in practice,” Condon said. “We will play every body quite a bit. I’m anxious to see what the freshmen will do in a game sitation.” All-American middle blocker Sherri Brinkman will return to College Station Wednesday from a summer volleyball tour and will probably not play. Freshman Cheri Steensma will start for the Aggies at one outside hitter position and Margaret Spence will move to the middle. Thursday, the Aggies have another opportunity to batter and bruise a real opponent when they host the Brazos Valley media game in G. Rollie White at 7:30 p.m. “The media game will just be a fun game,” Condon said. “It will give us a chance to ‘chit chat’ with the area media. (A&M Sports Information Director) Tom Tur- biville will block Sherri and we’ll just have a lot of fun.” U.S. Open narrows to 8 players Connors, Evert-Lloyd stay alive with wins Associated Press NEW YORK —Jimmy Connors and Chris Evert Lloyd, the two win- ningest players in U.S. Open history, kept alive their title hopes Tuesday with hard-fought victories. Lloyd, the No. 1 seed who is seek ing her seventh women’s singles title here, reached the semifinals for the 15th consecutive year by disposing of tenacious Claudia Kohde-Kilsch of West Germany 6-3, 6-3. Lloyd’s next foe will be third-seeded Hana Mandlikova of Czechoslovakia, who edged No. 7 Helena Sukova of Czechoslovakia 7-6 (7-4), 7-5. Connors, going for his sixth men’s crown, having last won in 1983, stopped Stefan Edberg of Sweden, the No. 1 1 seed, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a match that was much closer than the score indicated. Connors will face Switzerland’s Heinz Gunthardt in their quarterfi nal match. The other quarterfinal pairing in the bottom half of the draw will pit No. 7 Yannick Noah of France against the winner of Tues day night’s match between second- seeded Ivan Lendl of Czechoslova kia and teen-ager Jaime Yzaga of Peru. Noah stopped amateur Jay Berger, a Clemson University soph omore, 6-7, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1, while Gun thardt ousted Henri Leconte of France 7-6, 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 6-3. Lloyd had her serve broken just once, but almost every game went to deuce as the match toox 78 minutes to play. Lloyd served the only ace of the match, but Kohde-Kilsch had nine service winners to just four for Lloyd. Always attacking, the West Ger man kept constant pressure on the tournament’s top seed, going to the net 44 times. Lloyd only won 11 more points in the match — 68 to 57, but they were the key points. She broke Kohde-Kilsch four times — twice in each set — while Lloyd lost her own service only once. Gunthardt and Leconte had a slugfest on the Grandstand Court, the Swiss right-hander capturing the first two sets before the French left hander came back to level the match. But in the decisive fifth set, it was Gunthardt who survived the three- hour battle. Mandlikova reached the women’s singles title match here in 1980 and 1982. Both times she lost to Lloyd. Against Sukova, Mandlikova also had to battle through close games the entire way, taking the first-set tiebreaker 7-4. “I think I know better now what I’m doing than I did when I was younger — three or four years ago,” Mandlikova said. “I’m mentally a little bit tougher than I was before.” IJYTERURBAJV Join usWednesday nights for frozen margaritas!
