Fielder's two-mn homer pushes Tigers past Rangers, 4
‘l
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -
Cecil Fielder admits he'd like to
play near his home in Irving with
the Texas Rangers when he be
comes a free agent after the 1993
season.
For the present, howeyer.
Fielder is content to provide the
long ball for the Detroit Tigers.
Fielder hit a two-run homer in
the first inning and drove in three
runs Tuesday night as Detroit beat
the Texas Rangers 4-2 and stopped
a four-game losing streak.
"It's always nice to come home
and sleep in your own bed,'*
Fielder said. "I really enjoy play
ing here. I like playing in Detroit,
but being at home and playing
here is something I have to think
about."
Fielder hit a 1-2 fastball from
Bobby Witt into the left-center
field stands for his second home
run in two games and his sixth of
the season, tying him with Oak
land's Jose Canseco for the Ameri
can League lead.
Bill Gullickson (2-2) allowed
one runs and five hits in seven in
nings, and Mike Henneman got
six outs for his second save.
"Getting an early lead gave
Gullickson an opportunity to go
out and throw strikes," Fielder
said. "Bobby is always going to
come right at you. When I was
down 0-2, he just kept throwing
fastballs."
Detroit bounced back after los
ing four straight at Baltimore. The
Tigers gave Gullickson his first
victory over Texas in his first start
against the Rangers.
"Cecil's going to hit between
35 and 45 and we can count on
that," Tigers manager Sparky An
derson said. "This ballpark is built
for him. For us, it's a nice way to
start any series. We've been get
ting our brains beat in."
Gullickson entered the game
with a 6.89 ERA but he had little
trouble with the Rangers.
"Our offense sputtered and
when we hit line drives, they were
right at people," Texas manager
Bobby Valentine said. "And the
guy won 20 games last year. It's
not like he's a bum. Our offense
isn't clicking together the way it
can, but it will."
Witt (1-2) walked Lou Whitak
er in the first and Fielder followed
with his home run.
"I made a bad pitch to Cecil, a
slider out over the plate,"I
said. "That gave Gullickson an
vantage. He could throw stril
and he kept our hitters off balai
He's a veteran and he's not
to make crazy pitches u
lead."
Rafael Palmeiro, battingji
.170 coming in, hit his secoi
home run of the season in
fourth.
Detroit added a run in
Vednesc
ond when third baseman Dei
Palmer booted a potential doul
play ball for an error, allowi;
Tony Phillips to score.
Fielder hit a run-scoring sty
in the seventh inning for his 1ft
RBI.
Palmeiro tripled in thenint
off Henneman and scored
Ruben Sierra's sacrifice fly.
Giants down Astros
Houston falls into tie for first in NL West
HOUSTON (AP) - Bill Swift
became the majors' first four-
game winner, and Matt Williams
nit a three-run homer as the San
Francisco Giants beat the Hous
ton Astros 6-2 Tuesday night.
The loss moved the Giants
into a tie with the Astros for first
place in the NL West at 8-6.
Swift (4-0) went seven in
nings, giving up eight hits and
two runs. He struck out two and
walked one. Jeff Brantley pitched
the last two innings.
Swift didn't allow a runner
past second base after the first
inning until Eddie Taubensee
singled and scored on a double
in tiie seventh by Juan Guerrero,
who got his first major league
hit.
Swift became the first Giants
pitcher to win liis first four starts
since Mike LaCoss in 1986.
Houston starter Ryan Bowen
(0-2) struck out Darren Lewis to
start the game, but Willie McGee
singled and Will Clark walked
before Williams hit a 1-1 pitch
over the fence.
The Giants scored three more
runs in the fifth when Lewis sin
gled, McGee walked and Lewis
scored on a single by Clark and
throwing error by right fielder
Pete Incaviglia.
Robby Thompson's single off
reliever Xavier Hernandez
scored McGee and Clark.
Houston got a run in the first
when Craig Biggio led off with a
single, went to third on a single
by Steve Finley and scored on a
grounder by Jeff Bagwell.
Summerall admits himself
into clinic for alcohol abuse
NEW YORK (AP) - CBS
sportscaster Pat Summerall, who
has waged what he admits is a
life-or-death struggle with alco
hol, has taken a leave of absence
and checked himself into the Betty
Ford Clinic for treatment, his
agent confirmed Tuesday.
"Pat decided at the Masters
that he needed some help to lick a
medical problem," agent Bob
Rosen said. "If you have a broken
leg, you go to a doctor. He's gone
to a doctor."
Summerall, 61, checked into
the clinic in Rancho Mirage, Calif.,
on Friday. Rosen would not con
firm that it was for alcohol abuse,
saying only that it was "purely a
personal problem."
Summerall was hospitalized in
Florida in December 1990 with
upper gastro-intestinal bleed®
and one month later admittedtk
his doctors told him if hedrani
again, "I'd be dead very shortly,'
Rosen said Summerall mos the dead,
likely would be back in
by May 23, when CBS beginsii
coverage of the Colonial Nation*
Invitational golf tournament.
"He would be ready to woil
the week before that, but it’sa:
ABC tournament," Rosen said.
Summerall has been CBS'
National Football League ait
nouncer for 30 years and ak
works golf and tennis tourw
ments for the network
CBS said Jim Nantz, wit
worked with Summerall at tk
Masters two weeks ago, woul
take Summerall's place untilk
returns.
Coryatt looks
to challenges
of pro football
Continued from Page 7
Coryatt said the A&M pro
gram helped him to develop into
the player he has become. He gave
R.C. Slocum's coaching staff credit
for his success.
"The coaching staff here is
great," he said. "They backed me
110 percent all season and they
are still doing that. The students
and fans here helped me a lot, too,
because they were always behind
me on the field."
Coryatt also received honors
from ESPN for "Hit of the Year"
on what has become known
around College Station simply as
"THE hit." During a Thursday
night contest against TCU, Cory
att caught Horned Frog receiver
Kyle McPherson coming across
the middle and greeted him with
one of the most vicious hits in col
lege football history. McPherson
was knocked out cold, and had to
be carried off the field with a con
cussion and a broken jaw.
But hard hits and tough play
on the college field, according to
Coryatt, are not enough to catch a
professional scout's eye.
"Everything I do during our
season is great for me, but the pro
teams don't really get to see them
(the big plays) because they are
busy with their season at the same

Quentin Coryatt has outmuscled A&M opponents for two seasons.
time," he said. "So they have to
rely on things like the combines.
At the combine and at the Pro Day
we had here March 9, they can see
for themselves what each player
can do, so that's when you really
have to shine."
Coryatt, who displayed his
combination of size and speed by
running a 4.56 40-yard dash at
A&M's Pro Day, was not the only
Aggie to shine in the scout's tests.
Cornerback Kevin Smith, who is
Coryatt's roommate, moved him
self into the first round and possi
bly the top 15 picks during the
combine held in Indianapolis.
That situation has become ben
eficial to both players.
"It's good that he's in the®
situation I'm in because he can if
late to all the things Lmdealinj
with right now," Coryatt said. 1
I'm having problems, he'sprok
bly having the same problems, Sf
we can always talk about theml
each other."
There is the possibility th
Coryatt could end up in his ho®
state and play for the Dallas Owl
boys. Recent draft historyM

make draft day trades to mow®
and grab the player they wantln
the last few weeks, the Cowboys
have hinted at trading u
14th pick to get one of the
f ricks for defensive help. If it's do
ensive help they need,
aren't many choices thatlookas
good as Coryatt.
Coryatt said staying inlexasis
something that could provetok
promising.
"It would be a lot of funtoslay
in Texas and play for the Cow
boys, mainly because it's closeti
home," he said. "All my
and the people who liked watcb
ing me play at A&M would the:
be able to come see me playal
most every week in Dallas."
If everyone on the A&M cam
pus is excited about having an/
gie drafted in the top five or
picks, the one person who!
kept everything in perspective!!
Coryatt. He says he's notsuri
where he'll be picked.
"I can't speculate about whert
I'll be drafted because you neve
know what's going to happen

can say is that I'm very fortunatf
to be in this situation.

made his return and beat up on
some pretender named Ray Mer
cer. That can't make the fight
world look too good when some
one who has been out of the ring
for five years comes back and
beats up on a guy ranked in the
Top 10. '
Then there is George Fore
man. If nothing else, he does
add some comedy to the division
and the sport. But, that's about
all he adds. He gave Holyfield a
good fight but so what.
Any chance for a rematch
ended when the two men began
fueding because Foreman was
going to sue Holyfield for not
giving him another chance at the
title. Holyfield said it was a slap
in the face.
These old guys do not de
serve the money they are get
ting. Who in their right mind
would pay $20 to watch a couple
of losers dance around for 12
rounds? The next good fight
might take place in six years af
ter Tyson gets out of jail. Until
then, they should just cancel all
the fights scheduled for that
time.
Certainly there are other di
visions in boxing. But they are
as lame as the heavyweight
ranks.
The middleweights used to
be the class of the boxing world.
Now, I can't name one mid
dleweight fighter. They have all
become fat and moved up info
the welterweight division. What
is a welterweight, anyway?
Tommy Hearns is another
old figher who has made a re
turn. But once again, his come
back is a result of there being no
quality fighters left in that divi-
It's a shame that Sugar Ray
Leonard isn't still around. At
least he had a little pizzazz. But
Terry Norris soundly beat him.
Later, Leonard admitted he had
done cocaine in the past. Now
that was truly a beating. Finally
someone knocked a little sense
into a fighter.
Forget Hector "Macho" Ca
macho, Ray "Boom Boom"
Mancini or Julio Ceaser Chavez.
The only things that these geri
atric fighters have going for
them are catchy names.
It's a shame when you want
to see a good fight these days,
you have to turn on to a rerun of
Muhammed Ali beating upon
Jerry Quarry.
