Minnesota wins World Series. 1-0
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — After all the twists, turns
and tension, the World Series had to come down to this.
The Minnesota Twins and Jack Morris squeezed past
Atlanta 1-0 on pinch-hitter Gene Larkin's single in the
bottom of the 10th inning to win Game 7 and end base
ball's week-long odyssey.
Never before had three Series games gone into extra
innings, and the Braves and Twins saved the best for last.
Both teams had chances to win it m the final innings, and
when the Twins finally did. Players on both sides
streamed out of the dugout to embrace as the 55,118 fans
roared in appreciation.
From the start, it was evident and inevitable that the
first last-to-first World Series would go down to the last
pitch. And it did, as for a record fourth time a game was
decided on the last swing.
None of the previous 31 seventh games had been
scoreless through seven innings, and not since 1924 —
when Walter Johnson won it for the Washington Sena
tors, the Twins' ancestors — had one gone into extra in
nings.
It was also the first 1-0 decision in Game 7 since the
New York Yankees withstood Willie McCovey's line
drive to beat San Francisco in 1962.
Morris lived up to his reputation as one of baseball's
best big-game pitchers with perhaps his best perfor
mance ever.
Pitching into extra innings for the first time since
1989, he shut out Atlanta on seven hits, striking out eight
and walking one and five times escaping with Atlanta
runners in scoring position.
He won for the second time in a week and improved
to 4-0 lifetime in the Series and 8-1 in the postseason.
The Twins followed the same scenario as they did in
1987. They won the first two games at the Metrodome,
lost three on the road and then returned home to win two
and the championship. Those are the only times the
home team has won every game of a Series.
Atlanta starter John Smoltz, who shut out Pittsburgh
in Game 7 of the NL playoffs, also pitched well enough to
win. He allowed six hits in 7 1/ 3 innings, but he and the
Braves lost a chance for victory on a brutal base-running
mistake by Lonnie Smith in the eighth inning.
Smith could easily have scored from first on Terry
Pendleton's double, but he lost track of the ball and had
to hold at third. Morris later escaped by getting Sid
Bream to ground into an inning-ending double play with
the bases loaded.
A&M bags UH,
third SWC win
By Scott Wudel
The Battalion
The Texas A&M football team, for the
first time this season, had to play a full 60
minutes of football.
Greg Hill's 22-yard touchdown run
with 4:30 left in the fourth quarter, com
bined with a relentless A&M defense, lift
ed 13th-ranked A&M over the University
of Houston Saturday, 27-18.
A&M improves to 5-1 and remains un
defeated in the Southwest Conference at
3-0. The Cougars fall to 2-5 and 1-3 in the
SWC.
The Aggies remained at No. 13 in this
week's Associated Press Top 25 Poll.
The A&M offense sputtered in the
third quarter after running off 21 first half
points. But the A&M defense picked up
the slack and held off a 15-point second
half Cougar rally.
"We never lost faith," said A&M head
football coach R.C. Slocum. "When we
needed to go down and do it, we did.
"This game is what we needed. We
hadn't really been in a contest where we
had to battle and find a way to win. I
thought it was very good for our team on
both sides of the ball."
The Aggies sacked Houston quarter
backs 11 times, including four in the final
quarter. Ten of the game's sacks were suf
fered by David Klingler, who also threw
three interceptions. UH's Run-and-Shoot
offense was held to only 277 total yards.

Oilers pound
Cincinnati,
move to 7-1
HOUSTON (AP) ~ The Hous
ton Oilers went for a quick knock
out of punchless Cincinnati on Sun
day and eased coach Jack Pardee's
pre-game worries.
Warren Moon threw three first-
half touchdown passes and the Oil
ers stalked backup quarterback Erik
Wilhelm, forcing him into two inter
ceptions and a fumble, en route to a
35-3 victory.
The Oilers tacked on two more
scores in the second half, relieving
Pardee's fears of taking the winless
%Iow we^re J-l like everybody
wanted to make us before the game.
1 was nervous about that," Pardee
said. "But our guys got serious and
were ready to play. It wasn't our top
week of work, but we got the job
done."
Houston got its fourth straight
victory for the first time since 1980
and a 7-1 record is the Oilers' best
start in franchise history.
"That's a big hurdle for us to
win four in a row, that's the first
time we've gotten past three,"
Pardee said. "At least we've got a
little roll going with a tough second-
half ahead of us."
