Ryan to open Rangers' season
SEATTLE (AP) - Nolan Ryan
may be making his last opening-
day start when the Texas Rangers
play the Seattle Mariners on Mon
day night.
“In all likelihood, this will be
my last season," the 45-year-old
right-hander said.
Ryan, who made 20 of his 27
starts at home last season, will be
gin his 26th major league season,
tying the record hold by James
McGuire and Tommy John. A sell
out crowd of just under 60,000 is
expected.
Ryan was 0-1 in spring train
ing, pitching 18 1-3 innings with a
5.89 ERA. He gave up five runs
and nine hits in five innings
against Cincinnati on Wednesday.
“I'm ready," Ryan said. "I've
had all the spring training I want."
Ryan, 314-278 lifetime, will
make making his ninth opening-
day start. He will be opposed by 6-
foot-10 Randy Johnson, the tallest
pitcher in major league history.
Ryan is making his ninth start
in an opener and Johnson, 28, his
fi»-st. Ryan is coming off a 12-6
record in 1991 while Johnson was
13-10 last season.
In some ways, Johnson resem

"The biggest thing is, Tm just

Duke tries NCAA repeat against Michigan
son. Ev
streak
smiles a
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Success sometimes has
a way of erasing the memories of how difficult it
was to achieve.
For now, however, Duke is poised on the brink
of college basketball history very much aware of
what a battle it has been to get to the NCAA cham
pionship game.
Duke is 40 minutes from becoming the first
team to repeat as national champion in 19 years.
The trip to Monday night's title game against
Michigan and its five starting freshmen was rough
to say the least, especially for a team that ran the
regular season as No. 1.
"We feel fortunate to be here," coach Mike
Krzyzewski said. "Seton Hall, Kentucky and Indi
ana have been very tough games for us. Teams play
at a high level against us and we expect the same
from Michigan on Monday night."
Senior forward Brian Davis sprained his right
ankle in Saturday's victory over Indiana and
Krzyzewski called him very doubtful for the cham
pionship game.
"If we lose it won't be because Brian Davis is
hurt," he said. "You play who you have and if they
win, they win."
Duke (33-2) has won the last three games, albeit
not in the style Blue Devil fans and detractors have
come to expect.
Seton Hall had stopped national player of the
year Christian Laettner in the second half and wji
within six points late in the game. Kentuckynj
next and if you need details of that one you sled
through 600 consecutive sports highlights show;
The Blue Devils' fifth straight Final Four appeal
ance and a chance at defending came downtoi
miracle shot by Laettner as the overtime buzze
sounded.
Duke seemed so human again this weekeni
when Indiana took a 12-point lead late in the firs
half. An awesome defensive performance tumef
things into a comfortable 13-point lead thatalmo?
evaporated in a final-minute, 3-point barrageh
the Hoosiers. Laettner again struggled fromtis
field (he did sandwich a perfect 10-for-10 agata
Kentucky in there) and Bobby Hurley wasthesar
ior with 26 points, including a school record-tying
six 3-pointers that gave him 11 in two games.
"The toughest game of those was Seton Hallk
cause of the relationship between P.J. (Carlesimo)
and myself and Bobby and Danny," Krzyzewslti
said, referring to the Hurley brothers who/aefd
each other for the first time. "There's beenateam
that could have beaten us every year butvrenevei
played them because they lost."
Duke hasn't lost an NCAA game sincetklTO
final, when UNLV beat the B;ue Devils 103-73.That
loss was avenged last year in the semifinals, when
UNLV was denied a chance to repeat.
