Astros slip by Reds
Houston 7, Cincinnati 6
HOUSTON (AP) — Second
chances are a rarity in baseball,
and Craig Biggio knows it.
So when the Astros second
baseman got his second chance,
he made the most of it Monday
night, stroking a game-winning
double that drove in Kevin Bass
in the 11th inning for a 7-6
Houston victory over Cincinnati
in front of 21,197 at the As
trodome.
The victory pulled the Astros
within 2 1/2 games of the Cen
tral Division-leading Reds.
Thei Astros led 6-2 entering
the ninth inning, but saw the
Reds rally for a tie on 2-run
homers by Hal Morris and Eddie
Taubensee. It was Taubensee’s
second homer of the game
against his former team.
In the bottom of the ninth,
Biggio came up with Mike
Felder on third and only one
out. Felder was pinch-running
for Sid Bream, who had hit a
pinch-hit double to right field.
But Biggio, who is hitting
.299, lined out to shortstop and
Ken Caminiti later grounded
out, sending the game into extra
innings.
In the 11th, Biggio got his
chance again. Bass hit a single
and moved to second on a
passed ball by Taubensee. This
time, Biggio doubled to win the
game.
“It’s nice to get a second
chance and be able to come
through,” Biggio said. “You don’t
get those often. I was looking for
a fastball, but I got a breaking
ball over the plate.
“Every run is important when
you play these guys. This win is
a big lift for us.”
Indeed. The Astros had lost
two straight and six of their last
10. After leading the division
two weeks ago, they were 3 1/2
games behind when the hot
Reds came to town.

Rituals
Continued from Page 3
Aggie pitcher Brian Parker
said that rituals and supersti
tions are a normal occurrence
of the game.
“A lot of guys just pick
things up and keep doing them
for good luck,” he said. “If we
think we’re winning because
we do something a certain way,
then we are.”
Former A&M ace Jeff
Granger jumped over the third
base line after every inning he
pitched. He said that touching
the dirt “just wouldn’t feel
right.”
Granger’s superstition
rubbed off on pitcher Trey
Moore, who couldn’t pitch un
less he wore the same pants
thatGranger wore in his previ
ous start. Parker also added
that Moore would sit beside
him on every bus ride. Same
seat, same row, right next to
the same window.
Talking to the players gives
the impression that if a black
cat walked into the clubhouse,
they would all scatter.
Chris Clemens never wears
a collared undershirt, while
Robert Lewis wore the same
pair of catching shorts for two
years, holes in all. Parker has
n’t worn a different pair off
socks in a game since his first
save.
Pitcher Matt Sherwood said
they learned to live with the
sock’s smell.

who beat Jonas Bjorkman of
Sweden 6-3, 6-7 (7-2), 6-4, 6-3.
American Bryan Shelton,
playing his third consecutive
five-setter, finally ran out of
magic and lost to Sweden’s
Christian Bergstrom 3-6, 6-3,
3-6, 6-3, 10-8. Shelton's only
easy match was his first, a
straight-sets upset of second-
seeded Michael Stich.
Lori McNeil, who upset top-
seeded Steffi Graf in women’s
first-round play, outlasted Flo-
rencia Labat of Argentina 7-6
(7-4), 7-6 (7-4) to make the
quarterfinals here for the first
time since 1986.
Two other American women
reached the quarterfinals for
the first time. Ninth-seeded
Lindsay Davenport, playing
only her second Wimbledon,
routed No. 10 Gabriela Sabati
ni 6-1, 6-3; and Gigi Fernan
dez, in her 10th try here, beat
Yayuk Basuki of Indonesia 6-
4, 6-1.
Sapras hammered 18 aces
against the 51st-ranked
Vacek, raising his four-match
total to 89.
Asked if he was a notch
above the rest of the competi
tion, Sampras didn’t retreat
into modesty.
‘Tve been very consistent
this year,” he said. “I feel
whenever I step out on the
court, if I play my tennis, I’m
very tough to beat.”
Among the women, third-
seeded Conchita Martinez
beat Kristine Radford of Aus
tralia, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, and fifth-
seeded Jana Novota advanced
with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Naoko
Sawamatsu of Japan.

PGA questions Dalys scorecard
CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) —
John Daly is the subject of yet
another controversy as PGA
Tour officials attempt to deter
mine whether he signed for the
correct score after the final
round of the Greater Hartford
Open.
PGA Tour media official
Mark Mitchell said a question
arose as to whether Daly, who
was paired with Clark Dennis
on Sunday, should have been
credited with a bogey on the par-
3 fifth hole instead of the par he
signed for.
The 1991 PGA champion, who
