TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) —
Revenge is sweet, Randy
Johnson joked, even after 14
years.
The last time Johnson faced
the University of Arizona, he
walked six and was shelled for
six runs on 13 hits in a 7-3 loss.
That was 1985. He was no Big
Unit then, just an extremely tall,
extremely wild junior at USC.
Johnson took the mound
against the Wildcats again on
Wednesday, making his Arizona
Diamondback debut by methodi
cally striking out four of the six
batters he faced in two perfect
innings.
“I’m getting back at U of A
after all those beatings I used to
take at USC,’’ Johnson said.
Two of the college players. 19-
year-old Keoni DeRenne and 21-
year-old Dennis Anderson, man
aged to bounce out to shortstop,
the biggest groundouts of their
lives.
“He was almost like the Eiffel
Tower because I’m only 5-foot-
7,’’ DeRenne said. “He’s
immense. It was just awesome,
man. Hopefully they got it on
videotape because I’d like to
show it to my kids someday.”
Johnson, who warned last
week not to expect anything over
whelming in spring training, threw
31 pitches. Five were call strikes,
seven were swinging strikes, six
were fouls, 11 were balls and two
were hit in play.
He threw a couple of breaking
balls and change-ups, but mostly
four-seam and two-seam fastballs.
“I’m a little disappointed the
breaking hall wasn't tht'®j eo

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
White House was asked
Wednesday to help clean up the
Olympic bribery scandal, a sim

case that one gold medalist com

In the wake of a scathing
ethics report that said the world’s
biggest sports event was run by a
corrupt club, President Clinton
was urged to place the
