Piazza, Caminiti propel seniui
circuit to 6-0 AlPStar victory
PHILADELPHIA (AP)-Mike —i
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mike
Piazza and his National League
teammates were the ones who re
ally hit it on the nose.
Hazza launched an upper-deck
home run in his first at-bat and
lined an RBI double his next time
up, leading the Nationals to a 6-0
victory in the All-Star game Tues
day night for their first three-
game winning streak since 1982.
The biggest blow for the Amer
ican League, meanwhile, did not
even come with a bat. Two hours
before the game, Baltimore iron
man Cal Ripken sustained a bro
ken nose when he caught a fore
arm in the face from Chicago
White Sox reliever Roberto Her
nandez, who lost his balance on a
platform during a team picture.
The bloodied Ripken was treat
ed, and returned to play his 14th
All-Star game. His streak of 2,239
consecutive games is expected to
continue.
But the power-packed AL line
up did little at the plate, manag
ing just seven hits against win
ning pitcher John Smoltz and
eight relievers. Albert Belle be
came the first AL player to strike
out three times since Mickey
Mantle in 1956.
While the AL was handed its
first shutout since 1987 — when
it lost 2-0 in 13 innings in the last
supposed year of a lively ball —
the NL increased its overall lead
to 40-26-1.
The Nationals hadn’t done so
well since they won 11 in a row
from 1972-82. Who knows if their
streak will continue next year
when the All-Star game comes a
few weeks after interleague play
is scheduled to start?

schedule a bit,” Groff said. “Initially, they
wanted to get out without any kind of penalty,
but I told them that was just something we
couldn’t allow.”
Groff said home-and-home contracts with the
Air Force Academy and Auburn University were
almost finalized, but were vetoed by the coach
ing staffs at each school.
“Everything was in order until the coaches
were notified,” Groff said. “Like I’ve said be
fore, I don’t blame them for saying no. I
wouldn’t want to play an opponent like A&M.”
The A&M Athletic Department contacted a
number of other schools, but according to Groff,
none had openings in their schedules.
This forced A&M to locate a school willing to
travel to College Station for one game.
This is why Division I-AA Sam Houston
State was inked as the Aggies’ opponent for the
1997 season opener.
However, in addition to
playing Notre Dame in 2000
* ■ and 2001, A&M was able to
■ pick up non-conference con-
y tests with Wyoming and
■ Clemson.
Groff said the Aggie
coaching staff is looking
forward to the challenge.
“They’re very excited about the better lineup
in the future,” Groff said. “Those will be some
big games for us, and a good test to see how
program has advanced.”

Ozzie Smith watches action from the dugout in a 1994 game. Smith
participated in his 1 5th and final All-Star game Tuesday night.
Smith, in his 15th and final All-
Star game, drew the biggest cheer
of the evening, a 45-second stand
ing ovation that also included a
handshake from opposing catcher
Sandy Alomar Jr.
Johnson, in his first All-Star
game at age 33, took Tony Gwynn’s
spot and doubled on loser Charles
Nagy’s first pitch. He later scored
on Barry Bonds’ groundout.
Jones, playing third base for
injured Matt Williams, singled
and scored in the second. Camini
ti hit a leadoff home mn in the
sixth that made it 5-0.
