Brown pushes Rangers past
NEW YORK (AP) — Kevin Brown says he
pitches against the New York Yankees the
same way he pitches against everybody else.
Only the results are different.
"I don't do anything special that I know
of," Brown said after beating the Yankees for
the eighth time in nine career decisions in
Texas' 1-0 victory.
Brown (4-1) has a 39-33 lifetime record. But
he again stopped the Yankees, allowing two
singles in eight innings.
Brown (4-1) outpitched Tim Leary (2-1),.
who permitted the only run in the second in
ning on A1 Newman's single. Brown gave up
hits to Mel Hall in the fourth and Kevin Maas
in the seventh, and struck out three and
walked three.
Kenny Rogers relieved to start the ninth
and gave up a leadoff double to Hall. Jeff Rus
sell took over with two outs and closed for his
sixth save.
"It's not an easy decision when a guy's got
a two-hit shut out going," Rangers manager
Bobby Valentine said. "With those left-handers
coming up in the ninth, I wanted a left-hander
in there".
The Rangers strung together three hits in
the second against Leary. Kevin Reimer sin-
led with one out, moved to third on a single
y Ivan Rodriguez and scored when Newman
slapped a single to center.
Leary pitched his first complete game since
April 19, 1991, allowing seven hits. He struck
out two and walked one.
Wednesday, April 29,
Yankees, 1-0
"Kevin Brown's pitched well all yearanj
didn't see us going out and scoring 10ruin]
Leary said "Texas is as tough an offensi
team as there is in the major leagues. It's
for me to know that I can go out there aga
team like that."
Brown escaped threats in the fourth,sii
and eighth.
In the sixth, Don Mattingly hit a deepdrrj
ifednes<
to right field with a runner on base that J
run down by Ruben Sierra.
"That pitch was a mistake, I'mgladlp
away with it," Brown said.
For his part, Mattingly didn't think itwjsj
home run.
"I knew I hit it pretty good, butlkneil
didn't click it, too," Mattingly said.

New York shuts out
first-place Houston
Cone comes close to Mets' first no-hitter
NEW YORK (AP) - David
Cone pitched 7 1-3 hitless innings
before pinch-hitter Benny Diste-
fano reached on an infield single
as the New York Mets defeated
the Houston Astros 4-0 Tuesday
night.
Cone finished with a two-hit
ter and yet another chapter in the
Mets coming close to a no-hitter.
The team has had 20 one-hit
ters since joining the National
League in 1962, in
cluding five by Tom
Seaver. The Mets
have now gone 4,816
ames without a no-
itter, however.
Cone had flirted
with no-hitters be
fore. Last Sept. 20,
he held St. Louis hit
less for seven in
nings before Felix
Jose doubled in the
eighth.
After Casey Candaele ground
ed to first leading off the eighth.
Cone walked Ed Taubensee. Diste-
fano, pinch hitting for reliever Rob
Murphy, then poked a slow
grounder down the third-base line
for his first major league hit since
1989.
Third baseman Dave Magadan
waited to see if the ball would go
foul. When the ball reached the
bag he picked it up and threw to
first — much too late to get Diste-
fano. Distefano, born in Brooklyn,
was recalled from Triple-A Tucson
on April 24.
Cone (2-1) then walked Eric
Anthony to load the bases, but
struck out the next two batters.
Cone finished with 11 strikeouts
and four walks. Jeff Bagwell
reached on another infield single
leading off the ninth for the only
other hit.
With one out in
the seventh, right
fielder Bobby Bonilla
made a spectacular
diving head-first
catch to snare Luis
Gonzalez's looping
liner, saving the no
hit bid.
Cone, 29, fanned
the side in the second
inning, including
Taubensee for his 1,000th career
strikeout.
Eddie Murray provided Cone
all the runs he needed with a two-
run double in the first inning and
a bases-loaded two-run single in
the fifth off loser Butch Henry (0-
2).
On June 19,1988, Cone pitched
7 2-3 hitless innings against
Philadelphia before Steve Jeltz
broke it up with a single.

Seventeen men and two wom

"There was a long straightaway

Baylor splits
two with UT
WACO, Texas (AP) - Chris
Abbe hit a pair of homers in a 9-
0 victory over Baylor Tuesday,
then added another in a 3*2
nightcap loss.
The Southwest Conference
champion Longhorns improved
to 39-11 overall and 26-7 in
league play, Baylor fell to 29-23
and 17-16/
In the nightcap, Baylor's
David Elsbernd went six strong
innings to raise his record to 8-
1. He allowed four hits, walked
five and struck out four.
After the Longhorns went
up 1-0 on Abbe's third homer of
the day, the Bears used RBI sin
gles from Ray Hammond and
Jason Marshall to take the lead
for good 2-1.
Jay Vaught (6-2) was the
loser for Texas in three innings
of work.
Abbe is the first Longhorn
to hit three homers in one day
since David Denny did it back
in 1982.
Holt comes off bench to make clutch hits
Continued from Page 5
"Brian was kind of pressing a
little bit," Holt said. "Coach was
just trying to do something differ
ent, and it just so happened that I
got a couple of clutch hits here
and there.
"Brian's a great player, and we
complement each other very well.
Early in the
year he was
starting, and I
was coming in
to play defense
and just having
to do whatever
I can to help the
team win."
Johnson
never doubted
Holt's ability
with the glove. Holt
but there have
been some problems with his hit
ting. Until now.
"He's been our defensive guy
since he's been here," Johnson
said. "He's one of the best defen
sive outfielders in the country, no
question about that.
"Offensively, he's always been
a little bit short, but he's done a
good job."
Hitting balls in practice does
not compare to facing a pitcher
during a game. Holt just wanted a
chance to show what he could do
at the plate in a game situation.
"We get our cuts in practice,
but it's nothing like seeing live
pitches in the game," Holt said.
"You get in a flow when you get
out there, and you get to see a
pitcher a couple of times and get
some more cuts."
After staying in the starting
lineup as long as Holt did, it was
frustrating for him to sit on the
bench and watch everyone else
play.
"I wouldn't say I was down,
but I was a little disappointed," he
said. "Nobody likes sitting on the
bench. But since I've been here.
I've been a starter before. And
once you start, and then you have
to sit down again - it's not fun."
But the senior kept a philo
sophical outlook.
"You can only play nine peo
ple at a time, and somebody has to
sit," he said. "When I had my turn
to get in the game, I just did wliali
could to contribute to the team
Holt thinks his contributioiu 1

"Any time anyone gets a hit i

Despite the team's recentprot

Aggies are starting to cons

"At the beginning oftheyeai-

violation of league policy.''
The newspaper did not identi
fy the complaining teams.
The Cowboys were the only
team able to reach immediate
deals with their first-round picks,
the NFL office said. The Indi
anapolis Colts were able to negoti
ate prior to the draft since they
had the first two picks in the first
round.
Any violation of NFL policy
could cause the Cowboys to lose
future draft picks, although there
is no specific penalty under league
guidelines.
Team owner Jerry Jones said
he is certain Dallas did not violate
the rules when it reached contract
agreements while announcing the
drafting of its two first-round
picks, Kevin Smith and Robert
Jones.
"It was looked into last year,
and they found we did nothing
wrong," he said.
The Cowboys came to instant
agreements in 1991 with both of
their first-round picks, Russell
Maryland and Alvin Harper.
"And this year, were even
more careful to adhere to the
rules," said Jones.
A league rule restricting teams
from discussing contract specifics
with players before the draft was
passed in 1990 when the Chicago
Bears reached a pre-draft agree
ment with first-round pick Mark
Carrier.
"No club can make a specific
contract offer to a player or his
representative of sign a player to a
specific contract or other agree
ment prior to actually selecting the
player in the draft," reads the rule,
outlined in a memo sent to all
teams April 15.
However, teams are allowed to
discuss signing prospects and
salary range while they are "on
the clock" and making their deci
sion.
"The range doesn't have to be
very broad," said Jones. "It can be
pretty succinct. We don't discuss
several aspects of the contract.'"
Smith's agent, Steve Zucker,
said the actual contract wasn't
completed until Monday.
"There was nothing wrong
with the way it was handled," he
said.

faced one of the most aggressive
defenses in the nation, he folded
under the pressure and left the
field with two - count 'em two -
dislocated shoulders?
When nominations for col
lege football's postseason
awards came out this year, it
seemed as though the rest of the
nation had not seen the same Ty
Detmer that the Aggie fans saw
that warm, December night in
San Diego. After we learned
that Ty wasn't so great after all,
he was still nominated for the
O'Brien Award and the Heis-
man Trophy. How could that
possibly happen?
Maybe it was just with all the
soil on his jersey, coupled with
his body being hidden some
where between Quentin Coryatt,
William Thomas and the
ground, that the rest of the na
tion couldn't read his number
and tell that it actually was Det
mer under all that mess.
Just think, Ty, if you would
have kept your big mouth shut,
you might have been spared the
wrath of the Aggie defense, and
you would still be the entire na
tion's hero! Not only that, but
with no college injuries, you've
got to figure someone would
have at least drafted you by No.
229!
And another thing, Ty. As if
it weren't bad enough that A&M
quarterback Bucky Richardson
showed you up by taking Offen
sive MVP honors in San Diego,
he was also picked ten spots
higher than you in the draft.
Not bad for someone who is not
considered to be a pro-style
quarterback.
Kind of teaches us that old
lesson of never counting out
your opponent before the fight
begins, huh?
And now, when ol' Ty looks
at all the things he has in his life
- reduced fame, a drastic drop
in professional value and a
third-string quarterback job
which will consist mainly of
holding a clipboard every Sun
day - he can have the Aggie de
fense to thank.
I'm sure that's just how Mr.
Coryatt and Mr. Thomas would
want it.
