Astros’ 11 -run comeback
win one for record books
HOUSTON (AP) — Hous
ton manager Terry Collins
knew just how bad St. Louis
manager Joe Torre felt after
the Astros matched the Na
tional League record for
biggest comebacks.
The Astros amazingly
turned an 11-0 deficit into a
15-12 victory Monday night
over the St. Louis Cardinals,
but it recently was a much dif
ferent story for Houston.
“We were on the other end
of a game like this the other
night,” Collins said, referring
to last Friday when the Astros
blew an 8-0 second-inning lead
and lost 11-8 to the Pittsburgh
Pirates. “And it's no fun.”
But on Monday, before a
crowd of 24,012 at the As
trodome, they had an 11-run
sixth inning and turned the
tables on the Cardinals in a
big way.
The mega-rally was one
short of the major-league
record of 12 set by several AL
teams. It tied the NL record
last set in April 1976 when the
Philadelphia Phillies turned a
12-1 deficit to the Chicago
Cubs into an 18-16 victory in
10 innings.
And the Astros had never
overcome a deficit larger than
seven runs.
“I still can’t believe it, and I
was there,” Astros second
baseman Craig Biggio said.
Things looked pretty bleak
at first for Houston when the
Cardinals took an 11-0 lead in
the first three innings and an
11-4 lead into the sixth.

away with strikes interfering
with the fans’ enjoyment of
watching the games.
Some small market clubs
will be hurt severely by these
changes. In fact, they might
have to shut down, but hey,
that’s big business.
And some clubs with a lot
of financial backing may get
all of the top players, creating
baseball dynasties. Once
again, that’s just big business
at work.
Hopefully these guys can
get their disputes worked out
in time for the Series. If not,
maybe the commissioner will
completely overhaul the All-
American game.
After all, if American capi
tal is what they want, Ameri
can capitalism is what they
should get.

Corked bats increase bat speed
Belle-incident
raises awareness
of hollow bats
Corking a bat
A player can hit a baseball farther using a bat filled with cork rather than
an all-wood model. How and why it is done:
UNDATED (AP) - So why
would Albert Belle want to cork
his bat, anyway?
A bat filled with cork can hit
a baseball farther than a com
pletely wooden model, although
it won’t turn a bench-warmer
into Babe Ruth.
“If you hollow out the barrel
and lighten the bat, you can
swing it faster and that means
you can hit it better,” says Rex
Bradley, vice president of the
company that makes Louisville
Sluggers. “Players do it for bat
speed, but many of them believe
it just makes the bat more live
ly-”
Belle was suspended Monday
for 10 days for using a corked
bat. He is appealing the penalty,
meaning he can continue play
ing for the Cleveland Indians
until a hearing is held July 29.
A 12-inch-deep hole is drilled in (he
meat end of the bat.
The diameter of the hole ranges from
that of a pencil to as wide as a dime.
The cork or any light material, including
plastic foam or ground-up rubber balls,
is stuffed in the cavity.
The inside scoop
A corked bat is, on average, two ounces lighter than an all-wood
bat, enabling a player to swing the bat faster.
^ A corked bat could improve the length of the hit slightly, by about
10 feet.
Cork dampens the sound a hollow cavity would produce when
hitting a baseball.

about. Oklahoma was a member
of the Southwest Conference from
1915-19. Last year, A&M and
Oklahoma renewed their series
in Norman. They will meet this
year September 10 at Kyle Field.
Oklahoma is one of the most
successful schools to ever field a
collegiate football team. They
have won six national champi
onships, with the latest coming in
1985 under Barry Switzer, who is
now the coach of the Dallas Cow
boys. Oklahoma’s 47-game win
ning streak from 1954-57 is an
NCAA record. Oklahoma’s rival
ry with Texas is one of the most
famous and most watched college
games every year.
Oklahoma’s intrastate rival,
Oklahoma State, has also enjoyed
much success. Oklahoma State
has won more national champi
onships than any other Big Eight
school. Their 44 national titles in
wrestling is a feat unmatched in
any sport by any other school.
Famous Cowboys include Bar
ry Sanders and Thurman
Thomas, two of the top running
backs in the National Football
League today.
Missouri is annually one of the
top basketball schools in the
country. They have won the Big
Eight eight times in the past 22
years.
Steve Wujek, the assistant
sports information director at
Missouri, said Missouri has
“owned” the Big Eight in basket
ball.
“We have won the conference
twice in the last five years,” he
said,” and we have had two final
eight appearances in the NCAA
tournament.”
Missouri is also famous for be
ing the first public educational
institution to be founded west of
the Mississippi, in 1839. Mis
souri’s journalism school is re
ported as being the first one in
the world.
Kansas is also known as a na
tional powerhouse in basketball.
They are a regular fixture in the
final four. During the 1992-93
school year, Kansas became the
first school to place a team in the
final four, in the college world se
ries and win a bowl game.
The Outland Trophy, which
goes to the nation’s top line
backer, is named after John Out
land, who played and coached at
Kansas.
Nebraska is recognized as one
of the top national powers in col
lege football. Their coach, Tom
Osborne, is the winningest active
head coach in Division I, at 205-
47-3. Nebraska tied Alabama’s
NCAA record last year with an
appearance in their 25th straight
bowl game.
They have had 32 straight
winning seasons, and have been
ranked in 362 out of 365 Associ
ated FYess polls.
Colorado won the national
championship in football in 1991
with a 10-9 victory over Notre
Dame in the Orange Bowl. In the
past three years, Colorado ranks
fifth nationally in winning per
centage.
Colorado has one of the more
famous mascots in the nation.
Before each home game, a buffalo
runs around the stadium.
Iowa State bears a dubious
distinction for A&M fans, as they
are the farthest school from Col
lege Station, at 1082 miles. The
Cyclones recruit heavily in Texas,
with nine Texans listed on their
roster.
Kansas State and Oklahoma
were both bowl winners last year.
Kansas State defeated Wyoming,
52-17 in the Copper Bowl. They
finished the 1993 campaign with
a 9-2-1 record.
Each school in the Big Eight
can claim much success. Slocum
agrees, and even goes a step fur
ther.
“If you combine all the schools
in the Big Eight and the four
SWC schools joining in ‘96, the
new conference will have more
national championships than any
other conference in the nation.”
he said. “That’s pretty special.”

KAPLAN RULES
CLEVELAND (AP) — Albert
Belle, facing a 10-day suspension
for using a corked bat, hit one of
Cleveland’s five home runs and
also tripled Tuesday night as the
Indians beat the Texas Rangers
12-3.
Paul Sorrento homered twice
and drove in a career-high five
runs, and Jim Thome and Wayne
Kirby also homered for Cleve
land, which is 25-5 over its last
30 games at Jacobs Field.
The Indians received a couple
of scares in the game. Second
baseman Carlos Baerga twisted
his right ankle on a pickoff at
tempt in the third inning, and
starter Charles Nagy fell to the
ground in pain after Rusty Greer
lined a ball off his left knee in the
eighth. Nagy finished out the
eighth before leaving; Baerga left
in the fifth.

Palacios pitches
one-hit shutout
HOUSTON (AP) — Vicente
Palacios pitched a one-hitter, al
lowing only a single in the third
inning by Andujar Cedeno, and
the St. Louis Cardinals routed
the Houston Astros 10-0 Tuesday
night for their first win since the
All-Star break.
The Cardinals, who tied an
NL record by blowing an 11-run
lead in a 15-12 loss Monday
night, had no trouble holding off
Houston this time.
St. Louis had lost five in a row
and eight of 10 games, and was
the only team not to win since
the All-Star game last Tuesday.
Palacios (2-7) retired the final
21 batters after Cedeno’s leadoff
single in the third.
He tied a career-high with
eight strikeouts and walked one.
Mark Whiten had three hits,
including a homer and a double,
drove in three runs and scored
three times.
