Cavs slip past Mays RICHFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Craig Ehlo made the tie-breaking 3-point shot in the third quarter and two clinching free throws with 12.7 seconds remaining in the game as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Dallas Maver icks 95-93 Wednesday night for their first two-game winning streak since November. Cleveland, which beat Miami on Tuesday, won consecutive games for the first time since it won four straight Nov. 10-16. Brad Daugherty scored 23 points and had 13 rebounds and Larry Nance had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who never trailed in the second half. Ehlo and Daugherty each made two free throws in the closing seconds to put Cleveland ahead 95-89 with 3.4 seconds left. The Mavericks’ Derek Harper then converted a rare but meaningless four-point play at the buzzer, hitting a 3-point shot as he was fouled. Cleveland took the lead for good when Ehlo’s shot made it 65-62 with less than two minutes left in the third quarter. The Cavs led by as many as nine in the fourth quarter, going up 75-66 on John Williams’ reverse dunk with 10:32 to go. JAY JANNEBThe Battalion Just Watching Isaac Brown, who was dismissed from the A&M basketball team earlier Wednesday, watches the Aggies lose. Jett rocks with O ’s After finishing next-to-last in offense last season, the Baltimore Orioles are looking for more hits. So why not have Joan Jett join the team? The 30-year-old left-hander, better known for hit songs than base hits, spent a week at the Orioles’ spring training camp in Sarasota, Fla. “I always said I’d be the first major league female,” Jett said, “but that didn’t happen.” Jett was born to be a big leaguer. Or at least she was born with a big league name — Larkin. She could have joined Barry and Gene in the box scores, but then she changed her name and sought fame in a different field. Two weeks ago she joined 100 guys and three other women on a field of dreams at Orioles camp. Jett was born in Rockville, Md., and she caught baseball fever when she was 8. “The first game my dad took me to see was a game in Memorial Stadium,” Jett said last week in a raspy voice during a break in a re cording session. “Jim Palmer was pitching against the A’s and threw a no-hitter.” “I follow them religiously,” she said. “I can’t wait an hour after the game. I’m on a sportsphone every ten minutes.” Jett couldn’t have been pleased with last season, when Baltimore dropped to fifth place with a 76- 85 record. So she put on her No. 9, grabbed her Rawlings gloves and her cleats and headed South. You’d think a rock star would be used to being the center of at tention, just like pitchers. But standing on the mound was a dif ferent experience for the 5-foot, SVst-inch, 115-pounder. “Everyone’s watching me,” she said. “It’s not like I’m not used to it. It’s different when you’re on stage and in your element. I have my band around me there.” “It was real ecstasy,” Jett said. “I was really nervous to do it. Once you get out there, you’re in every play.” Under the tutelage of former Orioles pitcher Moe Drabowsky, she prepared for the big fantasy game at the end of the week. “You get so nervous when you’re on the mound,” Jett said. “You have to calm yourself down. Now I know why pitchers talk to themselves out there.” ^^■ALVIN AILEY lilff Photo by: Beatriz Schiller w They are all beautifully trained and scrupulously rehearsed. 9 * - New York Magazine 46 ... truly interpretive: expres sion, mood, form and feeling. 99 - Battle Creek Enquirer, Battle Creek, MI 44 ... a vigor, class and grace ... distinctly their own. 99 - Sunday Standard Times, New Bedford, MA Tuesday, February 19, 1991 Rudder Auditorium 8:00 P.M.
