bronto takes lead over Phillies with 10-3 win
thekM The Associated Press
d in Watt I"
improvtilj PHILADELPHIA — It didn't matter where
B’aul Molitor played, after all. Only that he got
t matchJi to bat.
bysopli || Molitor defused the DH debate for at least
and Milne game, hitting a two-run triple and a solo
he AgglfMomer in leading the Toronto Blue Jays past
h374 Hie Philadelphia Phillies 10-3 Tuesday night
am plajl for a 2-1 lead in the World Series,
te at hoi AL batting champion John Olerud was sent
’ u gbyPi|(|to the bench to make room for Molitor at first
e site. Tiase. Olerud sat placidly, trying to keep warm
P-m. In a night when rain delayed the start for
■nore than an hour, and saw Molitor fail to
; fifthalitnnke three plays he might have made.
. ■ Molitor, however, started a nifty double
Rlay with the bases loaded that ended the
iKighth i nn i n g after Philadelphia rallied for one
' fiun. Besides, offense, not defense, was why
on dayaiiiH| ue j a y S mana g er Cito Gaston wanted Moli-
" ce Uas ior in the lineup.
I Molitor, who didn't find out until two
Hiours before the scheduled start of the game
il tryout! that he was playing, tripled and scored in the
(Jay first inning, homered in the third for a 4-0
•d j n tryjead/ walked and scored in the seventh, and
basketbaW n gJ e cl in the ninth. Molitor batted .332 this
inday ai.B cason , second in the league only to Olerud's
depart®-®63, and is 6 for 11 in the Series.
I Just where Molitor will be Wednesday
int coatir'gbit when Todd Stottlemyre starts for the
i5-4531 ft
Blue Jays against right-hander Tommy Greene
is uncertain.
Roberto Alomar, who had four hits, and
Rickey Henderson, who had two, each scored
twice to give Pat Hentgen plenty of support.
Hentgen, who has pitched better on the road
than at home all season, pitched out of a cou
ple of jams and allowed one run on five hits in
six innings.
Olerud's only appearance was in the ninth,
when he was on deck to pinch hit, but the last
out was made with him still in the circle. Dan
ny Jackson, perhaps uncomfortable on a
mound made wet by a rain delay of 1 hour, 12
minutes at the start, never found a groove. He
was tagged for four runs on six hits in five in
nings.
Molitor, the only player in World Series
history to get five hits in a game, looked like
he might become the first to hit for the cycle in
529 series games.
After Henderson led off the night with a
single and Devon White walked, Molitor
sliced a drive that skipped off the slick turf
and snuck past right fielder Jim Eisenreich.
Joe Carter followed with one of Toronto's
three sacrifice flys.
Molitor, who prefers to pick on first pitch
es, did that with two outs in the third, lining a
drive over the left-field fence.
Toronto made it 5-0 in the sixth against Ben
Rivera when Alomar singled and stole twice
— Mitch Williams wasn't in there to pick him
off — and scored on a sacrifice fly by Tony
Fernandez.
In the seventh, Henderson led off with a
double, making him 3-for-10 in the series.
White followed with a triple and Molitor
walked.
Alomar had an RBI single for his third hit
and Sprague hit a sacrifice fly off Bobby Thig
pen.
The Phillies wasted a second-and-third
threat in the first when Dave Hollins and Dar
ren Daulton struck out. Hentgen escaped
again in the third after the first two runners
reached base.
The Phillies broke through in the sixth on
two walks and a single by Jim Eisenreich. In
the seventh, against Danny Cox, Mariano
Duncan hit an RBI single.
Philadelphia went on to load the bases with
one out. But Hollins hit a hard grounder that
Molitor fielded cleanly and threw quickly to
Fernandez, who made the relay to Cox at first
base for the double play.
Earlier, John Kruk hit a pair of grounders
to both sides of Molitor that got through for
hits. Also Molitor wasn't able to scoop a low
throw from Alomar at second base.
Molitor's only appearances in the field this
season were 23 games at first base.
In the ninth, Toronto scored on a triple by
Alomar. Philadelphia's Milt Thompson home-
red in the ninth off Duane Ward.

The Owl running game will
face its toughest test this year
when they take on Texas A&M,
who is number-one in the con
ference for rushing defense. The
Aggies have only given up 128.2
yards a game this season.
"I don't know what we're go
ing to do," Goldsmith said.
"(Sam) Adams, (Eric) England
[and (Lance) Teichelman are so
good up front. Then, if you get
past them you have to somehow
block their linebackers.
"I think the key for us is keep
ing our poise. We can't let any
of the plays the defense makes
shake our ability. We just have
to respond and execute the next
[play."
Emanuel agreed and said that
neutralizing the Aggie defense
will be a difficult task.
"It's no secret we have to exe
cute," Emanuel said. "We have
to run the ball well and do some
things that have worked in the
[past.
T just have to pJfly within
myself and keep everybody up."
Controlling A&M's potent
running game is another big
concern for Goldsmith.
"I hope they all get tired,"
Goldsmith said. "A&M has
three great tailbacks who all
have solid fundamentals. I don't
think I've seen a team with that
many great backs."
The Aggies rejuvenated pass
ing game adds one more worry
to Goldsmith's long list of con
cerns.
"(Offensive coordinator) Bob
Toledo is great at coaching drop
back passing," Goldsmith said.
"When a team overloads for the
run, he's great at attacking their
weakness."
Goldsmith also said he thinks
the Aggies could easily be unde
feated, even considering A&M's
only loss to the University of Ok
lahoma, 44-14.
"I believe if the Aggies pilayed
Oklahoma ten times they would
win at least seven," Goldsmith
said. "They just got down early,
had some players out with in
juries and suspensions and
couldn't come back. They are a
lot better team than that day."
Soccer
continued from Page 5
"SMU has an advantage in ex
perience because of their seniors
and our freshman," A&M head
coach Gerald Guerrieri said. "But
we have youthful enthusiasm and
the desire to be the best."
Aggie freshmen Jamie Csizma-
dia, Anna Whitehead and Kristen
Koop lead the team's offensive at
tack.
Csizmadia, who has a six-
game scoring streak, and White-
head are tied in overall scoring
with 21 points.
"I am not out to try to score all
the goals," Csizmadia said. "As
long as we win, I am happy.
"But SMU is important be
cause if we win it will show us
that there are bigger things ahead
for us."
SMU is currently ranked sixth
in the South region. Guerrieri
said the Lady Mustang soccer
program is at a stage where the
ninth-ranked Lady Aggies want
to be.
"They arejconsidered the best
team in Texas, and we want that
title," Guerrieri said.
Guerrieri said that a win will
provide a brighter future for the
Lady Aggies.
"If we beat them, we will
knock them out of the playoffs,"
Guerrieri said. "A win will help
us make a case for possible post
season consideration."
For A&M (10-3) to be success
ful, Guerrieri said, they also will
have to adjust to playing on artifi
cial turf at SMU's Ownby Stadi
um.
Although they have been
practicing on Kyle Field for the
past ten days, the Lady Aggies
have never played a game on
turf.
Guerrieri said the recent
weather conditions may present
an additional drawback to play
ing on the turf.
"Because it has been raining in
Dallas, the wet turf will have a
huge effect on the game," Guerri
eri said.
"The ball will be skipping like
a flat rock on a pond. A good or
bad bounce could (determine) the
outcome of the game."

I "What happened was basically an inver-
ell practice gion of an ankle sprain," Kniffin said,
inmetown, "That grade of strain means she stretched
tobeastn- out her ligaments pretty good. She might
have torn some ligaments but even if she did,
it's nothing that will require surgery."
With or without Wood, the Lady Aggies
will be confronted with a Tech team that will
be looking to put a rare blemish on A&M's
glowing 20-4 season record.
Lady Aggie head coach Laurie Corbelli
said she also expects a different performance
from Tech.
"I look for a much improved team in terms
of preparation against us," Corbelli said.
"They are going to come with something
different against us because, obviously, it
didn't work last time.
"But I think we've showed consistent
progress throughout the season and I think
we're going to do fine."
