Sports Briefs
Sonics pound Suns,
even series at 2-2
SEATTLE (AP) - Charles Barkley
disappeared when the Phoenix Suns
needed him most, and the Seattle Su-
perSonics on Sunday evened the
Western Conference finals at 2-2.
The league's MVP scored 27 points
but was held to a pair of baskets in the
second half when the Sonics pulled
away for a 120-101 victory.
Barkley was taunted with chants in
the Seattle Coliseum after he picked
up his fifth foul with 7:34 to go and
when he missed the basket entirely
with a 3-point attempt with 9:41 left.
Game 5 will be Tuesday night in
Phoenix, with Game 6 on Thursday
night in Seattle. Game 7, if necessary,
will be in Phoenix next Saturday or
Sunday.
The Suns have the home-court ad
vantage throughout the playoffs be
cause they won 62 regular-season
games for the best record in the NBA.
But they didn't have any advantage in
Game 4.
The Suns left Seattle with a 104-97
Friday night victory to regain the
home-court advantage in the series af
ter Seattle managed a split in the first
two games of the series in Phoenix.
On Sunday, Barkley's best scoring
performance in this series on ll-for-20
shooting was overshadowed by the
Sonics' frontline of Sam Perkins, Der
rick McKey and Shawn Kemp. Kemp
and McKey each scored 20 points and
Perkins had 19.
Dan Majerle had 16 points for the
Suns and Kevin Johnson, playing with
a badly bruised left thigh, had just 6
points on 2-for-ll shooting.
Seattle outscored Phoenix 21-7 in
the first 7:27 of the second half to take
an 82-65 lead. As it turned out, that
was the game.
Fittipaldi wins Indy;
24 cars complete race
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Emerson
Fittipaldi used experience and pa
tience to outfox a pair of former For
mula One colleagues Sunday in the
most competitive Indianapolis 500
ever.
With 10 cars on the lead lap at the
end, it was anybody's race until Fitti
paldi took the checkered flags and
shook his fist in triumph. Only 9.9 sec
onds separated the top eight finishers.
The 46-year-old Brazilian, started
ninth and stayed close to the front
throughout the race, but never led un
til he charged past Indy rookie and
reigning Formula One champion
Nigel Mansell on a controversial
restart 16 laps from the end of the 200-
lap race.
Fittipaldi wasn't challenged the rest
of the way, easily holding off runner-
up Arie Luyendyk, the pole-starter.
Twenty-four of the 33 starters were
running at the end, matching the
record set in the inaugural race in
1911, when 40 cars started.
Roberto Guerrero suffered a
bruised left shoulder and right knee in
a crash with Jeff Andretti, Mario's son,
who was not injured.
Others hitting the wall Sunday
were Paul Tracy, Fittipaldi's team-
mate from Canada, and 1985 Indy
winner Danny Sullivan, who both es
caped injury.

Aggie rightfielder Scott Smith was
then plunked to load the bases for Desig
nated Hitter David Minor who promptly
sent a single back up the middle scoring
Thomas and Harris for a 3-0 lead.
"It was really important that we came
out and scored early," Granger said.
"With the offense pounding out runs and
the defense backing me up I felt really
confidant."
When all was said and done the Ag
gies pounded out 10 more runs and fin
ished the game with 16 hits, while the
pitching staff shackled the Bulldogs on
one run and four hits.
In the second inning of the game
Granger set the Aggie single season
strikeout record of 131 with a whiff of
Bulldog outfielder Darryl Simchak.
Game two - Lamar
Game two saw Trey Moore and his
perfect 11-0 record pitted against the
fourth seed Lamar Cardinals.
The game started out looking like a
pitchers duel. In the top of the first Car
dinal pitcher Phil Brassington sent the
Aggies down in order. Likewise in the
' bottom half of the inning Moore came out
gunning as he fanned the side.
The Aggies held a slim 3-2 lead until
the Cardinal fourth. Triny Rivera led off
the inning with a screamer to center but
was robbed by a diving Brian Thomas.
Moore walked the next batter and then
gave up a double to Cardinal shortstop
Sergio Galvez which tied things up at
three.
Outfielder Anthony lapoce then
stepped up and blasted the two run shot
off of the scoreboard in left to put the
Cardinals up 5-3.
In the top half of the fifth the Aggies
faced a deficit for the first time in their re
gional play. This, however, fazed them
not as they went on to pound out seven
hits in a row, scoring six runs and taking
a 9-5 lead.
After a walk to Harris and infield sin
gles by John Curl and Robert Lewis to
load the bases, Rob Trimble smacked a
one-out single for the RBI. Smith then
scored two on a double down the line to
put the Aggies back on top to stay.
Moore went the distance picking up
the win as the Aggies won 10-5 improv
ing their record to 50-9 on the year.
Game three - UCLA
The UCLA Bruins became the next ob
stacle in the Aggies path. Powered by the
nations homerun leader in Ryan McGuire
with 25, A&M pitcher Kelly Wunsch
knew he had his work cut out for him.
"I knew it was going to be a challenge,
but the game plan was to go right at the
batters," said Wunsch "I just love pitch
ing against aggressive teams."
A&M got to Bruin starter Gabe Sol-
lecito early. After a Thomas single. Curl
stepped up and plated the first run of the
game with a double in the first.
In the fourth Thomas and Curl again
started the Aggies scoring run with a
walk and a single to put runners at the
comers. Robert Lewis then singled to left
for the RBI and a two run lead.
An error on the Bruins catcher from a
Rob Trimble bunt loaded the bases. A
wild pitch moved the runners up and
made the score 3-0 and Aggie second
baseman Eric Gonzalez added a sacrifice
fly to score a tagging Lewis.
Harlan added a base hit in the inning
to plate another run and put the Aggies
up 5-0.
With the Aggies up 6-4 in the bottom
of the eighth inning, third baseman Lee
Fedora stepped up with the bases loaded
and tomahawked a fastball over the right-
field fence.
"I was thinking he would bring a fast
ball inside, he did and I took it," said Fe
dora "It always feels good to get a homer
like that, it relaxed us and loosened
things up."
The Aggies added another run in the
eight inning and went on to the 11-4 win.
Game four - North Carolina
The final game of the Regional saw the
top seeded Aggies up against the number
two seed North Carolina Tar Heels.
What many had hoped to be a battle
turned out to be a slaughter. The Aggies
put three runs on the board in the first,
two in the third, two in the fourth, three
in the fifth and sixth and one in the ninth
for a 14-2 romp.
Granger got his second start of the
tournament and again came through go
ing six and two-thirds innings, striking
out seven and giving up the two Tar Heel
runs.
"I wanted the ball and Tm not going to
try and fool anyone," Granger said. "I re
ally wanted to go today and it just feels
great to get the win in front of the home
crowd in what will probably be my last
home game, it was just a great way to fin
ish my college carrier."
Highlightsl of the game saw Fedora
crashing his second homerun in as many
days along with Thomas adding a triple
and a blast of his own.
(Harlan also had a double and tripleas
the A&M batters jumped all over five Tar
Heel pitchers en route to a convincing
victory and a berth in the NCAA College
World Series.
"We played very well throughout the
series," Head Coach Mark Johnson said.
"We stayed loose and played aggressive
ball. It was a fun week for us all."
Texas tops USC in Central II
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — Brooks Kieschnick was
untouchable on the mound for the first
five innings and added three hits and
two RBT to help Texas to an 11-3 victory
Sunday over Southern Cal in a winners
bracket game of the NCAA Central II
regional.
Kieschnick (15-3), mixing in change-
ups and sliders with his fastball, retired
the first 17 Trojan batters he faced. Only
eight of his 40 pitches through four in
nings were not strikes.
He lasted 7 1/3 innings, scattering
seven hits and three earned runs while
striking out five and walking one before
giving way to Mark Senterfitt in the
eighth.
Southern Cal's Geoff Jenkins broke
up Kieschnick's hid for a perfect game
with a two-out opposite-field single in
the sixth, and Lionel Hastings ended
the Texas hurler's attempt for a shutout
an inning later when he drove home
Walter Dawkins from second base with
a RBI double.
The Longhorns (49-14) — the only
remaining unbeaten team in the region
al — advance to Monday's champi
onship contest against the winner of
Sunday night's elimination game be
tween the Southern Cal (34-28) and the
winner of the McNeese State-Cal State
Fullerton matchup.
Texas led 1-0 in the fourth when it
blew open the game with a Tim
Harkrider RBI double and Steve Hein
rich's three-run home run, all off Trojan
starter and loser Ben Tucker (2-7).
Tucker pitched 5 1/3 innings, sur
rendered six runs — five earned — on
eight hits and three bases on halls and
struck out two.
After scoring an unearned run in the
fifth and spoting Southern Cal a run in
the sixth, Texas put the game out of
reach in the top of the eighth.
Omaha

that inning with another run off a Rob
Trimble double.
Jerzembeck ended his day on the
mound in the fourth when he gave up a
double to Aggie first baseman Billy Har
lan and a walk to Harris. Relief pitching,
however, was not the answer to the Tar
Heels problems.
UNC pitcher Jay MacMillan began his
short stint on the mound with two pitches
in the dirt and a wild pitch that put two
runners in scoring position. Both runners
eventually came around to score which
put the Aggies up by nine.
"At that point, the momentum was go
ing our way," Aggie senior center fielder
Brian Thomas said.
MacMillan's stint on the mound was
cut short in the fifth, but not before allow
ing three more runs to score on two hits.
Jay Johnson was then put in to try and
tame the offense, but he quickly became
the next victim of the Aggie barrage. Af
ter getting out of the fifth inning un
scathed, Johnson was not so lucky in the
sixth. He gave up a long three-run blast
to Aggie third baseman Lee Fedora.
"I was seeing the ball well," Fedora
said. "I was sitting on the fastball and
that's what I got."
Granger gave up his only homerun of
the tournament in the bottom of the sixth
as he surrendered a solo shot to All-Tour
nament selection Manny DaSilva.
The score remained 13-2 until the top
of the ninth when the Aggies added an
other run. Thomas, who hit a triple to
deep center field, scored on a wild pitch
from North Carolina's fourth relief pitch
er Tom Hawkins.
Five Aggies were selected to the All-
Regional team Fedora, Gonzalez, Harris,
Harlan and Granger. Most Outstanding
Player of the Tournament was Granger
who went 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA during Re
gional action.
Rush
Continued from Page 3
that has halted them just short of great
ness. With Tom Chambers, Kevin John
son, Oliver Miller, and "Thunderin'"
Dan Marjerle, the Suns needed a center-
type player and made the blockbuster
trade with Philly to acquire the perenni
ally consistent Barkley who had over
stayed his welcome in Philadelphia.
Barkley made no bones about wanti
ng to go to a contender and he did just
that. The Suns have reached the Confer
ence Finals for the first time since 1982,
and Barkley is the reason why.
The Round-Mound of Rebound
proved that the award given to him was
no fluke as he single-handedly led the
comeback in the series against the Lak
ers and then de-spurred the team from
San Antonio in the second round with a
last second shot, reminiscent of Michael
Jordan's shot that ended the Cavalieres'
season two years ago. In a word,
Barkley's shot was "Jordanesque."
I'm sorry to rub it in Houston fans,
but until Hakeem can lead the Rockets
farther into the post-season, he will not
get the credit that he is indeed due. Un
fortunately, he must take the line that
the Chicago Cubs give year in and year
out, "Wait til next year."
It may just be that this saying will
hold true because Barkley has said re
peatedly that if he wins the NBA Cham
pionship this year, he will retire, leaving
on an up note. Many question Barkley's
attitude in asking, "Why now?"
Why not, he's done everything there
is to do in the NBA. Then again, it is
Charles Barkley and he's probably
pulling our leg . . . no, he is pulling our
leg.
Because there are few to agree, let me
say that Charles was the best player in
the NBA this season and I will be one of
the first to say Congratulations Charles,
it's about time they gave you one.
