Reliever Joe Hesketh, 3-1, struck out Rafael Ramirez to start the 10th, but Doran hit a 3-2 pitch into the left-field bleachers. It continued a rough week for Hesketh, who allowed nine runs in 1 2- 3 innings in his previous outing against the Reds Monday night. Danny Darwin, 3-1, who pitched a scoreless ninth, got the victory and Dave Smith retired the side in the 10th for his fifth save. The Astros battled back from a 4- 0 deficit to tie the score in the eighth inning. Rafael Ramirez singled, moved to third on Doran’s single, and scored on Glenn Davis’ sacrifice fly. The Expos took a 2-0 lead in the first when Otis Nixon walked with one out against Bob Knepper and Andres Galarraga hit his sixth homer. In the second, Damaso Garcia and Nelson Santovenia singled to lead off the inning and executed a double steal. Knepper retired the next two bat ters, but a passed ball by catcher Craig Biggio allowed Garcia to score and Tim Raines made it 4-0 with an RBI double. Raines had to leave the game after the third inning because of a sore left ankle, which he hurt Tuesday when he fouled a pitch off the ankle in batting practice. The Astros scored a run against Dennis Martinez in the fourth when Davis singled, moved to third on ’Terry Puhl’s double and scored on Kevin Bass’ grounder. Biggie’s first homer of the season on Martinez’ first pitch of the fifth inning made it 4-2. Brian Holman relieved Martinez and the Astros scored in the seventh on Greg Gross’ run-scoring single.

Austin builder may bring minor league team to city AUSTIN (AP) — An Austin home builder has assembled investors to buy a minor-league baseball team and move it to Central Texas if a suitable stadium can be built. The group is looking at either a Double-A franchise in the Texas League or a Triple-A American As sociation team. Home builder Tommy Harmon, a former University of Texas All- America catcher and major league coach, said the deal is contingent on a stadium. The city of Round Rock has expressed interest in building a ballpark, Harmon said. Texas League President Carl Sawatski will meet with Harmon and his group May 22. Sawatski said he has been talking to Harmon about possibly locating a franchise in Aus tin. “I’d be thrilled to have a team in Austin,” Sawatski said. “But the problem is a lack of a facility. If Aus tin had a facility, it would have had a team a long time ago.” The University of Texas’ Disch- Falk Field, although superior to many minor league ballparks, can’t be used by a professional team be cause beer can’t be sold there, it lacks adequate parking and there would be conflicts with the Longhorns by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds SUMMERJOBS EARN EXTRA MONEY We have immediate job openings in the Houston area for the following skill categories. • CLERKS • RECEPTIONIST/PBX • TYPISTS • ACCOUNTING CLERKS • SECRETARIES • WORD PROCESSORS • LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WEST 558-3300 WILLOWBROOK 955-2255 SUPERIOR TEMPORARIES OF HOUBTON GALLERIA 963-9800 NORTH 875-0700 spring schedule. It has been 22 years since Austin was home to a minor league team. The Austin Senators, a Double-A team in the Texas League, played their games at the old Disch Field. Harmon said there are three to five major investors and fivexto 10 people who would be minority stock holders should a team be purchased. “Let me say we do have people in terested, but they don’t want their names public unless we have a sta dium,” Harmon said. “But yes, we do have people interested in putting together money to buy a franchise.”. Harmon said he introduced the idea of a stadium to Round Rock Mayor Mike Robinson and City Manager Bob Bennett about a month ago. “We’re going to ask a lot of ques tions and be very sure about every thing before we really do anything,” Robinson said. “This is the start of a project. It could end in six weeks or it could be 1991 before we see any thing. It’s still very, very early.” According to Texas League pol icy, a stadium must seat at least 6,000. About 13 acres usually are needed for a stadium and a parking lot. Bwy a Wliatatnirger f Spring for a frigid! for a friend & get yours Free!
