With the score 3-3, Foley’s triple scored Mitch Webster, who reached on a throwing error by pitcher Jeff Heathcock, 0-1. Heathcock’s throw had pulled first baseman Glenn Davis off the bag. After an intentional walk to im Raines, Paredes hit his first ajor league homer. Jeff Parrett, 2-0, pitched two nnings for the victory. The Astros scored two runs in he bottom of the 10th after inch-hitter Andres Galarraga hit two-run homer in the top of the nning to put Montreal ahead 3-1. Craig Reynolds and Mark Bai- ey led off the Houston 10th with singles off reliever Tim Burke, and Bill Doran came in to run for Bailey. The runners advanced on sacrifice, and Reynolds came home on Alan Ashby’s grounder to first. Gerald Young then tied the score with a single. With one out in the top of the 10th, reliever Ernie Camacho got Tom Foley on a swinging third strike but the ball got away from catcher Bailey and was ruled a wild pitch after Foley reached first. Galarraga followed with his sixth homer. Houston starter Mike Scott went nine innings and gave up one unearned run on five hits, re tiring 22 of the last 23 batters he faced, before being removed for a pinch hitter in the ninth. Scott struck out nine and walked one. Montreal starter Neal Heaton pitched six innings and allowed six hits and one run. Andy Mc- Gaffigan followed Heaton with three scoreless innings. The Astros tied it 1-1 in the sixth when Glenn Davis doubled and scored on Reynolds’ single. Wallace Johnson led off the Montreal second with a single and moved to second when Webster reached on catcher’s in terference. Johnson was caught stealing at third with Webster moving to sec ond, and Jeff Reed singled to give the Expos a 1-0 lead. Houston utility infielder Jim Pankovits was hit in the head in the fourth inning by Heaton. Pankovits was removed from the game after the top of the fifth and taken to a hospital for X-rays. Mohorcic, Kilgus lead Texas to win NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Kilgus and Dale Mohorcic combined on an eight-hitter, and Mike Stanley hit his first home run of the season Sunday as the Texas Rangers averted a sweep of the three-game series by defeating the New York Yankees 5- 1. This was only the second time all season the Rangers had scored more than four runs in a game, and the other time they lost 7-6 to Detroit on April 23. Kilgus, 3-2, allowed six singles in six innings while walking three and striking out four. He gave up his only run after two were out in the first inning. After consecutive walks to Don Mattingly and Jack Clark, Dave Winfield hit an RBI single. Winfield had four hits, extending his hitting streak to 13 games. Mohorcic, making his second ap pearance since being activated from the disabled list last Wednesday, picked up his first save with three scoreless innings. The Rangers took a 3-1 lead by the sixth inning without getting an RBI. Stanley scored from third base on a double-play grounder in the third and, in the sixth, after starter A1 Leiter balked home Scott Fletcher, Cecil Espy scored on an other double-play grounder. Leiter, 3-1, allowed three of his four hits in his last inning. He struck out eight, including six in a row be tween the third and fifth innings, and walked two before he was re placed with no one out in the sixth with runners on first and third. Re liever Cecelio Guante gave up Stan ley’s two-out homer in the seventh. Texas scored its last run in the eighth on Pete Incaviglia’s two-out RBI single off right-handed reliever Steve Shields. ‘Sleepy’ awake, Mavs discover i>uin v.; f Jordan scores 55 for record id to a to lead Bulls past Cavaliers any fiel. he said ight like; v From Associated Press didn’UT* Michael Jordan became the first player in NBA history to score more wboys' 50 points in two straight playoff nebackertgames as he scored 55 to lead the g the son mills to a 106-101 victory Sunday had tolto|er the Cleveland Cavaliers. 1 p That gave Chicago a 2-0 lead in problem! die best-of-5 series with the third hlete," he: game in Cleveland Tuesday night, he touglxfl Jordan scored 50 in the opening oxer beca.gjme of the first-round series, head be; * In other afternoon games Sun- father'sikliy, Boston beat New York 128-102 tty brutal to take a 2-0 lead in its series, and mattle evened its series with Denver during a with a 111-91 victory over the Nug- wboys’tra gets that represented the Nuggets’ I he hadbf worst home loss this season. ;r.

DALLAS (AP) — Sleepy woke up. “There is really nothing you can do when he was playing like he was on Saturday,” said Dallas guard Derek Harper. “He hit his shots. He didn’t get any cheap baskets out there. I thought I did a decent job on him then I look up and he has 42 points.” Eric “Sleepy” Floyd scored a sea son high 42 points and Akeem Ola- juwon added 41 as the Houston Rockets evened their best-of-five NBA first round series with a 119- 108 victory. Game three of the Western Con ference series is in Houston Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. “Sleepy had a great game,” said Dallas’ Roy Tarpley. “He did wake up didn’t he?” Floyd hit only two of 10 shots in game one and scored 12 points. On Saturday, he made 16 of 22 shots from the field and 9 of 10 free throws. Floyd and Olajuwon had openly argued in a first game 120-110 loss to Dallas. “I just attacked their defense,” Floyd said. “I was more creative than I had beep jn a loryg time. I tried to anticipate where Akeem was going to be and get the ball to him. He moves so much it isn’t easy to do. But we were together today.” Olajuwon said Floyd’s speed help beat the Dallas defense. “Sleepy was pushing the ball up the floor for us and this is the Sleepy we all know,” Olajuwon said. “He came out and played his game. He concentrated and played with a lot of heart.” He said there was nothing “per sonal” between them. “It was just business,” Olajuwon said. “We are friends and there’s nothing personal.” Dallas Coach John MacLeod praised Houston’s defense. “Sleepy had a great game and Akeem was tough,” MacLeod. “We had a lot of trouble with both of them. “Now our hands are really full with two games in Houston. Our job is to bounce back and win at least one of the next two so we can come back to Dallas.” Olajuwon said, “We are deter mined not to come back to Dallas. We know we can beat the Mavericks now.” Dallas center James Donaldson, who was held to only six points after 18 points in the opening game, ad mitted, “It’s going to be tough for us now. We don’t have the homeconrt advantage any more. Sleepy was the difference. The way he played was the difference between game one and game two.” Dallas owner Donald Carter was livid after the game. ed if heR r - ' ^ ^ ’ ) his m Cockfigl ils clea11 bre< d< them at I : 'Utmr s ?§/ me father ed. “I them at w every or; : mbile accifjT SAN DIEGO, Texas (AP) — Adan Garza, 42, mited No* a gamecock breeder who has been attending feocklights for 20 years, even though they’re ille- cial bond' gal in Texas. said. “Hep About 'A of the 5,000 residents of San Diego, /as recover 50 miles west of Corpus Christi, participate in who couldi Cockfighting, Garza said. He decided to speak out on rooster sparring cause cockfighting is getting a bad name after ing linked to a reported gang rape March 26 in is South Texas town. A 19-year-old woman reported she was sex- ally assaulted by as many as 20 men during a r-pn lockflght near San Diego. I If B Last week, 10 men were indicted in connection )vith the alleged gang rape. Three were indicted for sexual assault, one for kidnapping, and six I lj||*or sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping. ■ “It’s like a night of poker,” said Garza, who ||pends almost $600 a month on his cockfighting. '|Although bloody, cockfighting is good, clean fun »or the whole family and should not be associated vith gang rapes, he said. “There’s no way in the world that by watching these chickens, you’d go out and do something violent,” Garza said. “No one even smokes mari juana.” Wives and girlfriends often attend cockfights, he said. He added, “I know it’s illegal, but I’m doing it because it’s a sport. It’s a way to prove manhood.” Cockfighting usually is staged only from Septem ber to early March. Roosters begin to molt in March and shouldn’t fight until the molting sea son ends in September, Garza said. “We don’t fight the roosters after March be cause this is when they lose all their feathers and it hurts them too much. You can barely touch them during this time,” he said. “This shows how humane we are.” Up to 200 people attend the fights, he said. Each cockfight is held at a different location to avoid arrests, he said. Cockfights are peaceful gatherings with no outbreaks of violence or drug use, he said. Gaffs, which are steel hooks about four inches long, allow one cock to quickly kill or maim its op ponent. The use of gaffs is humane, Garza said. “They either die immediately or the injury is clean-cut and treated,” Garza said. Roosters have sharp talons, Garza said. Cock fights would be longer and wounds not as clean- cut if roosters were allowed to fight with their natural weapons, he said. “Roosters will kill each other whether they are put together or if they just meet up,” he said. There’s a difference between professional cockfights, which he attends, and hack fights, Garza said. A derby, which is more of a tournament, usually has about 15 entries, whereas a hack fight is just two guys wanting to fight their roosters, he said. Roosters must weigh within two pounds of each other to be matched for sparring. Two roosters fight at a time. “It hurts me and bothers me to lose a chicken, especially a favorite one,” Garza said. “I lose a chicken a couple times a month.” “After the cockfight, we all shake hands and talk about our chickens. It’s a social thing, very calm and peaceful,” Garza added. 01 n CO 111 SUMMER CLOTHING SALE! Contemporary Junior Clothes 2 DAYS ONLY Save 50% - 75% Off Retail!!
