The Braves, who got a three-run homer from Jeff Blauser, lead the best-of-5 series 2-0 and can finish off Houston with a victory Friday at the Astrodome. “It’s nice to be two-up, but it’s like investing,’’ Blauser said. “You’re not guaranteed results tomor row because of what happened yesterday and today. We have to push on and punch them out.” Hampton, who had only two walks in 17 innings during his final two starts of the regular season, walked four in the first four innings and got worse after getting two outs in the fifth. With the score 3-all, he threw 16 balls in an 18- pitch span, resulting in consecutive walks to Chipper Jones, Fred McGriff, Javy Lopez and Andruw Jones, forcing home the go-ahead run. Hampton, who threw only 38 strikes in 87 pitches, was replaced by Mike Magnante, who gave up a two-run single to pinch-hitter Greg Colbrunn that made it 6-3. Colbrunn’s hit ended an 0-for-25 postseason slump by Atlanta pinch-hitters, dating back to the ’95 World Series. “I was just trying to be a little too perfect and it wound up costing me,” Hampton said. “1 probably just tried to nibble too much.” Atlanta added five runs in the sixth — four unearned — once again striking with two outs. Fred McGriff had an RBI single and two more scored when first baseman Jeff Bagwell let a high throw deflect off his glove for an error. Danny Bautista followed with a two-run single, though the inning mercifully ended for the Astros when he was thrown out trying to stretch it to a double. It has been a miserable series for Bagwell, who had 43 homers, 135 RBIs and 31 stolen bases during the regular season. He is 0-for-8 with five strike outs, including three on Wednesday. “Obviously, it’s a little disappointing,” he said. “But you’ve got to shrug it off and go get ’em Friday.” Craig Biggio, Derek Bell and Bagwell, the top infield single in the ninth Wednesday. “Guysgo. J into funks.” “That could change in a day, in an at-bat,” Bagwell added. “It could happen Friday.” Tom Glavine, improving his postseason record to 8-9, threw a staggering 117 pitches through six innings, allowing all three runs and five hits. The Braves’ bullpen got some work, with Mike Gather throwing two scoreless innings and Mark Wohlers finishing. “We’ve done a good job so far” with Houston's top three hitters, Glavine said. “Obviously, when you look at this ballclub, those guys are very dan gerous. You don’t want to let those three guys beat you, particularly Bagwell.” The key, Glavine said, has been keeping Biggio off base. “That make it a little easier to face Bagwell when you’re in a situation where you know the solo homer isn’t going to hurt you,” the Atlanta pitcher said. “Hopefully, we can win one more game and not let them get in position where thej | m can beat us.” samo. Blauser, hitting .588 in his career against 1 J-" M Hampton, gave the Braves a 3-0 lead in the thi , ‘ t| ^ ’ with his fourth postseason homer. After Glavine sin* ^ t0 a , gled and Kenny Lofton walked, Blauser hit a 383l Fredrick foot drive into the left-field seats despite a Wriglej Fhe Agg ijuns and “Obviously, it’s a little disappointing. But you’ve got to shrug it off and go get’em Friday.” JEFF BAGWELL 0-8 WITH FIVE STRIKEOUTS I THE SERIES VS. ATLANTA Two yeai wider wit Field-like wind sweeping across Turner Field Houston tied it in the fourth, taking advantageoLy^ a Glavine’s wildness. Two walks set up Brian Ausmu C L e royar for a two-run double, the ball sailing just beyoo S6tit j e the glove of Ryan Klesko as he dove in the left-fiel 1 corner. Ausmus scored on Hampton’s hit to right. Biggio squandered a chance to get the Astro back in the game in the sixth with two on andtw outs. On a 3-1 pitch, Biggio lofted a fly thr, appeared to be drifting toward the right- stands, but Andruw Jones leaned into the crowd! make the catch. Atlanta opened the series by becoming thefirf team since 1974 to win a postseason gamewithw hits. The Braves continued to make full use of the hits in Game 2, piling up their 13 runs on 10 hits. “We haven’t gotten many hits, but the name the game is timely hits,” Blauser said. “It’s wl you get them that counts.” Reward for lost Border Collie.

Continued from Page 7 While Campbell lists Novacek as his inspiration Spiller wants to focus on redefffl ing the tight end position am what it can do for an offense. Ii high school, he was featured many positions, including end, and even lined up in backfield on occasion. His leticism allows him to do mon than expected of a 6-3, 240 pouni tight end. “There’s not really anyone want to emulate. I feel like take it to another level,” S said. “With my size and speed, look to do a lot of things from thi tight end position that a lot o people haven’t done. Probabh the closest person I would thii [I’m like] would be Ben Coatesoi Shannon Sharpe.” Whether pancaking a line backer for the running game o rumbling for a 60-yard pas reception, you can be sure Be L / C ifelibj R ca #ork< R T Inxiei Spiller will make the most of hi time on the field. Campbell Continued from Page 7 more information or to inform us of your - needs, call 845-8770 In In addition to playing back and tight end in higt school, Campbell competed h track and field, to which attributes his ability to endun difficult situations. “It helped me mentally Campbell said. “For example ran the mile relay. That’s jusi gut check. It made me realize y 01 never give up until you’re ^ ished, until you get to the line ‘til you finish the game.” A mile relay lasts four to si minutes. The end of the gap comes once every sixty-minutes But for Campbell, the game vdi not end until the culmination his senior season. “I have this feeling there never be a defined starter our last two years,” Campbe' said. “I think we both do a „ job and the coaches have coni 1 dence in us. I’m fine with that just want to be better this tint 1 next year.” 200i (Next
