Weather postpones
Game 5 of NL playoffs
NEW YORK (AP) — National
League President Chub Feeney
called off Monday’s Game Five of
the National League playoffs be
tween the Houston Astros and New
fork Mets because of rain, and there
was little prospect for improvement
tithe weather until Wednesday.
With the best-of-seven series tied
tt two games apiece, rookie left-
lander Jim Desnaies of Houston
lad been scheduled to go Monday
gainst 1985 Cy Young Award wili
er Dwight Gooden of New York.
A constant drizzle forced National
eague officials to delay the 2:10
,m. CDT start, and Feeney post-
oned the game at 3:22 p.m. The
eame was rescheduled lor 12:05
today, but the National
foather Service predicted 100 per-
:ent chance of rain for today.
A rainout today would postpone
he game until noon Wednesday,
ith Gaines Six and Seven on Thurs-
ay and Friday at Houston.
Rainouts would not affect the
ilets pitching rotation, with Gooden
scheduled to be followed in Game
Six by Bob Ojeda regardless of the
schedule.
“It just gives Doc (Gooden) a day’s
rest he doesn’t need," Mets Manager
Davey Johnson said. “And the
weather reports are very bad tomor
row.”
Houston Manager Hal Lanier
said, however, that Deshaies would
be dropped from his rotation, and
be replaced by Nolan Ryan for
Game Five. For Game Six, Lanier
said he would come back with Bob
Knepper, loser of Game Three.
If today’s game also is rained out,
Lanier said Scott would be a possibil
ity for Game Six, depending on what
happens in Game Five.
“I could push Nolan back one day
for Game Five, then come back with
Scott or Knepper in Game Six,” Lan
ier said.
Monday’s game was scheduled to
be televised by ABC, which also was
committed to NFL’s Monday night
game between Cincinnati and Pitts
burgh, starting at 8 p.m.
Fake punt TD lifts Bengals
to 24-22 win over Steelers
I CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati
■mnter Jeff Hayes made up for a
pocked kick and a safety by sprint-
|ni 61 yards with a fourth-quarter
lake Monday night to give the Beng-
ils a 24-22 victory over the reeling
filtlburgh Steelers,
I Pittsburgh had built a 19-14
fourth-quarter lead with the help of
I touchdown set up by a blocked
punt and a safety achieved by chas-
|ig Hayes out of the end zone on an
other punt try.
I Hayes surprised the Steelers de-
lense by taking a fourth-down snap,
iludinga tackle, balancing along the
tdeline and racing to his first Na-
lonal Football League touchdown
■ith 13:47 to play.
1 Their fourth consecutive victory
Iver the Steelers kept the Bengals, 4-
tied with Cleveland for first place
fi the AFC Central. The Steelers fell
11-5, their worst start since Chuck
loll’s team went 1-13 in 19b9.
Until Hayes’ fourth-quarter gam-
Be, the Steelers appeared headed
for victory behind rookie quar
terback Bubby Brister.
Brister, playing his first regular-
season game for the injured Mark
Malone, dove one yard for a first-
quarter touchdown set up by Hayes’
blocked punt, He cooly completed
three of four passes for 40 yards in a
third-quarter scoring drive that gave
the Steelers their first lead 16-14.
Brister completed 12 of 33 for
191 yards,
Hayes’ touchdown put Cincinnati
back ahead, and Jim Breech kicked a
40-yard field goal to give Cincinnati
a 24-19 advantage and become the
Bengals’ all-time scoring leader. His
550 points moved him one ahead of
Horst Muhlmann.
Anderson kicked a 44-yard field
goal with 2:35 to play to trim the
lead to two points, and Pittsburgh
had one last chance after Hayes’
punt pinned them at their own 8
with 2:02 to play. But the Steelers
gained just one yard in four plays to
end their final threat.
A&M bashes Baylor in 3 games
Ags now 3-0
in SWC play
By Doug Hall
Sports Writer
Texas A&M’s 15-0, 15-10 and
15-9 win over Baylor Monday
night in G. Rollie Wnite Coliseum
was an impressive showcase of
solid defense and aggressive of
fense by the 20th-ranked Aggies.
If Wednesday night’s game
against 8th-ranked Texas goes as
well, the Aggies will be on the
road to breaking a five-year
stranglehold of the Southwest
Conference title by the Long
horns.
Cheri Steensma, A&M’s sopho
more outside hitter from San Ra
mon, Calif., paced the Aggies’ of
fense Monday night with 10 kills
over the three-game match for a
hitting percentage of .526. Stacey
Gildner and Michelle Whitwell
added six kills apiece for the Ag
gies.
Baylor, on the other hand,
played as poorly as the Aggies
played well. As a team, the Bears
combined for a miserable .082
hitting percentage, compared to
the Aggies’ .303, and made nu
merous passing and serving mis
takes.
Margaret Spence, who was in
on four of A&M’s eight blocks,
said the first game came at just
the right time for the Aggies, who
are now 16-4 overall and 3-0 in
the SWC.
“The 15-0 game was definitely
a confidence builder," Spence
said. "But tomorrow we have to
work on the things that Texas
does."
Spence, an All-SWC middle
blocker, said one of the things
that Texas does well is use its set
ters to outmaneuver the opposing
team’s defense.
“They have a very talented set
ter that does a good job of faking
out the other team’s middle
blockers,” she said. “That makes
it tough on me.”
But when asked if she thought

the Longhorns could be beaten,
Spence replied, "Oh yes, they are
highly beatable."
A&M Heatl Coach A1 Givens
agreed with Spence.
“I think we will match up really
well with Texas,” Givens said.
“Any time you have a Texas vs.
A&M matchup, you’re going to
have a dogfight. If they (the Ag
gies) come out with the intensity
they had in the first game (against
Baylor), it will be a great match."
Givens also said he was pleased
with A&M’s defense Monday
night, but was somewhat disap
pointed with the service errors
- an.
committed by the Aggies after the
first game.
“We can’t make the kind of
service errors we made in the sec
ond and third games tonight,”
Givens said. “Wednesday night,
our blocking and passing have to
be on. If they are, it will be a toss-
up.”
