Colorado sweeps Houston
Rockies (20-41) no longer have worst Major League record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — You can stop com
paring the Colorado Rockies to
the 1962 New York Mets, base
ball's standard of futility. Now
you can compare the Rockies to
the 1993 Mets.
Thanks to the Rockies' 9-1 vic
tory over Houston on Sunday and
the Mets' 5-3 loss to Philadelphia,
Colorado no longer has the worst
record in the majors.
Having posted a franchise-
record third straight victory and
sweeping a series for a first time
in history, the Rockies (20-41) ac
tually have a better record than
the current Mets (19-41). And
their winning percentage of .328
puts the Rockies on a pace to fin
ish at 53-109, well above the Mets'
1962 season of 40-120 (.250).
"This is really going to build
tremendous confidence," Rockies
right fielder Dante Bichette said.
The Rockies have feasted on
the Astros this season, winning
five of six games, even though the
Astros came into Sunday's game
as the second-place team in the
NL West.
"That's weird," Bichette said of
the Rockies' dominance of Hous
ton. "Sometimes you just match
up well against a team."
Bichette has had his own
streaks going. He set a Colorado
team record with seven straight
hits, having hit safely in his last
four at-bats Saturday night and in

his first three Sunday. He flied out
in the seventh inning, then added
an RBI single in the eighth. He
also made two running catches at
the right-field wall.
"Baseball is a streaky game,"
Bichette said. "I've been on a
good streak lately, and I'll just
ride it out."
Also starring for the Rockies
were Andres Galarraga, who hit a
two-run homer and drove in three
runs, and Bruce Ruffin (3-2), who
limited the Astros to five hits
through 6 2-3 innings.
"This feeling rivals opening
day here," Colorado manager
Don Baylor said. "It was impor
tant for us to come back home and
play well in front of our fans. We
haven't done that. When you've
only won seven games at home all
year long (against 20 losses), and
then all of a sudden you win three
in a row, that's a positive thing for
us."
Astros manager Art Howe said
he was "not happy" about being
swept by an expansion team.'

Petty holds off Schrader
to win Champion 500
LONG POND, Pa. (AP) - Kyle Petty
dominated for his first win of the season and
first ever at Pocono International Raceway
with a 4.9-second victory over Ken Schrader
in the NASCAR Champion Spark Plug 500
on Sunday.
Petty, winning his seventh career Winston
Cup race, took the lead from Sterling Marlin
with 16 laps to go and stretched it out.
After earlier dodging a fan who had run
across the track. Petty moved quickly to the
front off a restart on lap 180. He grabbed the
lead on turn 1 of lap 185 on the 21/2-mile tri
angular track and his Pontiac was unchal
lenged thereafter.
Petty, who started eighth, led seven times
for 148 of the 200 laps and averaged a record
138.005 mph.
"We were just right at the beginning of
the race. We got better and better and we
made a couple of adjustments and they went
the right way," said Petty, who moved from
seventh to fourth in the season driver stand-
Schumacher, driving a Benetton-Ford,
went on to finish second for the second
straight year on the 2.769-mile circuit, trail
ing Prost across the finish line by 14.527 sec
onds.
Hill, who fell back to fourth during a se
ries of mid-race tire stops for the leaders,
wound up third, the only other competitor
on the lead lap.
Gerhard Berger of Austria, the 1992 Cana
dian CP winner, was fourth in a Ferrari, fol
lowed by the Ligier-Renault of England's
Martin Brundle.
Taking the final point was Austria's Karl
Wendlinger in a Sauber-Ilmpr.
Prost, a three-time Formula One champi
on, increased his point total to 47, with Sen
na, still with 42, dropping to second.
There were no serious incidents in the
race.
LPGA Championship:
Sheehan earns 3rd title
birdies over the first 12 holes, but opened the
way for Sheehan by missing a 4-foot par putt
on FJo. 13 to go 8-under. Minutes later, Shee
han sank a 15-foot birdie putt on 12 to take a
two-stroke lead.
Sheehan fell back with a bogey on No. 16,
but parred 17 to set the stage for the dramatic
finish.
The victory was Sheehan's second of the
season. The first, at the Standard Register
Ping, got her into the Hall of Fame. Her pre
vious major titles were the LPGA Champi
onship in 1983 and 1984 and the 1992 U.S.
Women's Open.
Barb Bunkowsky finished at 277. Defend
ing champion Betsy King, who won the tour
nament at 17-under last year, was among
four players at 5-under 279.
Michelle McCann, who registered succes
sive eagles on Nos. 12 and 13 to go 7-under,
bogeyed two of the final four holes to join the
crowd at 279.

Ted Musgrave was fifth and Davey Allison
sixth.
Petty hadn't won since Oct. 25, 1992, at
Rockingham, N.C. His previous best at
Pocono was third in June 1987.
Prost posts.runaway
victory at Canadian GP
MONTREAL (AP) — Alain Prost lost the
lead at the start, then passed Williams-Re-
nault teammate Damon Hill on the sixth lap
and pulled away to a runaway victory Sun
day in the Canadian Grand Prix.
It was Prost's record-extending 48th For
mula One victory and his first at Circuit
Gilles Villeneuve on Isle du Notre Dame.
Ayrton Senna of Brazil, who came into the
race holding a five-point lead over Prost in
the Formula One driver standings, was run
ning second ahead of Germany's Michael
Schumacher when his McLaren-Ford
stopped on the course just seven laps from
the end of the 69-lap race.
BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - Patty Sheehan
won the LPGA Championship for a third
time Sunday, scrambling for par on the 18th
hole to close out a 2-under-par 69 for a one-
stroke victory over Lauri Merten.
Sheehan, who gained entry into the LPGA
Hall of Fame in March, earned her fourth
major tournament triumph and the $150,000
first prize with a 3-foot putt on No. 18. To get
there, however, she had to recover from a tee
shot that sailed into the gallery and an ap
proach that landed well behind the green.
With a sprinkler hole directly in front of
her ball, Sheehan chipped her third shot
within 3 feet of the hole. She dropped the
putt into the heart of the hole, then thrust her
arms skyward to celebrate her 31st career
victory.
Sheehan started the day two shots off the
lead but quickly moved in front as third-
round leader Cindy Lidback got off to a hor
rid start en route to a 78. Sheehan made three
birdies and a bogey to finish at 9-under 275.
Merten shot a 67 for a 276. Her 31 on the
front nine tied a record on the Bethesda
Country Club Course, but her bogey on No.
13, her first since the fifth hole on Saturday,
cost her a shot at a playoff.
Merten moved into contention with five
Singh birdies third extra
hole, wins Buick Classic
HARRISON, N.Y. (AP) - Vijay Singh, a
relative newcomer to the American tour from
Fiji, Sunday birdied the third extra hole in a
playoff with Mark Wiebe to win the Buick
Classic.
Singh's winner was set up by a brilliant
approach shot that hit the left portion of the
green, ran to the back, then caught a slope
and trickled down to within four feet of the
flag.
Wiebe, who birdied the last two holes of
regulation to force a playoff, two-putted
from about 35 feet below the hole. Singh
rapped his birdie putt into the heart of the
hole for his first American triumph and his
14th around the world.
"Coming here from Europe, I thought it
would be very difficult to win in America,"
Singh said. "I think this came a little bit eai-
ty-"
But it didn't come easily.
Singh, 30, was making his 11th start in the
United States this year. He survived a shaky
finish in regulation and a scare on the first
playoff hole, where Wiebe missed an 8-foot
putt that would have won it.

extend a one-point lead to 94-88
with 8:29 left.
Then Danny Ainge hit two free
throws and a 3-pointer, giving the
Suns a 99-88 advantage 52 sec
onds later.
The Bulls, who missed 10 of
their first 11 shots in the period,
then got consecutive baskets from
Horace Grant, Armstrong and Jor
dan to pull to 101-96 with 4:03 left.
A dunk by Pippen and Grant's
tip-in made it 101-100 with 2:46
left, but Barkley snapped the 10-0
run with a reverse layup 21 sec
onds later.
Grant tied the score 103-103
with a dunk and free throw at the
1:33 mark, then neither team
scored on four possessions apiece,
forcing the overtime.
Johnson missed a shot.with 27
seconds left, but he sneaked
around Jordan for a steal, then
called timeout with 12 seconds
left, failing to see Majerle breaking
open. Barkley then missed for
Phoenix and Grant rebounded
with a second remaining.
The Suns, whose NBA-best 62
victories were five more than the
two-time defending champion
Bulls, took a first step getting back
into the series. The team with the
home-court advantage in the NBA
Finals has won 34 of 46 titles, in
cluding the last seven, but
Phoenix was on the verge of a
blowout loss before bouncing
back Sunday.
The Suns still have to win at
least one of the next two games in
Chicago to force the series back to
Phoenix for the sixth and seventh
games. Game 4 is at Chicago Sta
dium on Wednesday night.
The Bulls, despite losing for the
first time in eight playoff games at
home, are still the favorites in the
series after becoming the first
team in NBA Finals history to win
the first two games ort. the road.
Chicago is 13-3 in the postseason;
the Suns are 12-9, including 5-4
away from home.
