Friday • October I, ij - Alomar’s suspensio not enough, umpssaf NEWYORK (AP) — Roberto Alo mar will serve his five-game sus pension for spitting on an umpire next season. That much is clear. Whether umpires will walk out Friday is uncertain. And once again, baseball finds itself in the middle of a big mess. The Baltimore Orioles’ All-Star second base- City Alomar man withdrew the appeal of his suspension Wednesday night, cancel ing a hearing before Ameri can League president Gene Budig that had been scheduled for today. Now umpires must decide if they’ll violate the no-strike clause in their labor agreement and walk out Friday in protest of what they believe is a too lenient penalty. “(Budig) has elected to cancel tomorrow’s hearing and grant Alomar a five-day spring vaca tion, with pay, for spitting in the face of an umpire,” umpires union head Richie Phillips said. Once Alomar dropped his ap peal, the suspension became auto matic. Both the owners and the umpires said they expect to be back in federal court Friday in Philadelphia, where the American and National leagues had asked for an injunction that would prevent umpires from walking out. |eople say histo ' self.

I knew that I had to put the ball in play.... It was huge.” ST. LOUIS (AP) — A member of the St. Louis Cardinals’ mostly forgotten old guard ended nine years of frustration. Tom Pagnozzi, who played on the 1987 World Series team before the Cardinals had several mediocre seasons, drove in the game-winner with a shot off re liever Trevor Hoff man’s glove in the eighth inning Thursday, giving St. Louis a 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres and a 2-0 lead in their NL playoff series. The teams re sume the best-of- 5 series Saturday in San Diego. St. Louis had [ blown a 4-1 lead, ■■■■■■■ allowing San Diego to tie it in the eighth on Steve Finley’s RBI groundout. Brian Jordan drew a leadoff walk in the ninth off Doug Bochtler and advanced on a groundout before John Mabry, who hadn’t hit the ball out of the infield in six playoff at-bats, was intentionally walked. Bochtler’s wild pitch moved the runners into scoring posi tion, and Pagnozzi hit a 1-1 pitch just to the left of Hoffman, who got the tip of his glove on the ball but couldn’t catch it. The ball bounced to second baseman Jody Reed, who threw to first as Jordan scored. i put theba! irti “It was big,” Pagnozzi said knew that I had to play.... It was huge.
