M “Nobody is too down, nobody is too up,” insisted Kevin Millwood, who will start Game 6 for Atlanta. “I think everybody is just preparing for tomorrow.” The Braves were three outs from reaching the World Series for the first time since 1996 after Kei th Lockhart’s two-out, run-scor ing triple in the top of the 15th broke a 2-2 tie. That was the first run scored in the game since the third inning. “Nobody is too down, nobody is too up” — Kevin Millwood Braves pitcher But the Mets evened the score in their half when Kevin McGlinchy walked three batters, including Todd.Pratt with the bases loaded. Then, Ventura hit a pitch over the right-field wall for an apparent grand slam that became a run-scor ing single when he was mobbed by his teammates before reaching sec ond base. While New York rocked, the game seemed to awaken Atlanta’s listless baseball fans. There were about 6,000 empty seats for the first two games of the series, but a sellout is expected in Game 6. The Braves sold some 6,000 tickets following Game 5 and had only 3,000 remaining. It was the longest League Cham pionship Series game by innings since the Mets needed 16 to beat Houston in the deciding game of the 1986 NL series. It was the longest postseason game by time ever, surpassing the 5-hour, 13- minute marathon between the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners in Game 2 of a 1995 division series. Whether the final score was 7- 3 or 4-3 did not matter. New York became only the second team in playoff history to force a Game 6 after losing the first three games of a series. all, up to $12avg.

Even though we’ve just won one game they still have that belief. “We are going for 5-5 now, that’s the best we can do and that’s their goal.” Until their victory last season. Prairie View had not won a game since Oct. 28, 1989, when they beat Mis sissippi Valley 21-12. Langston beat the Panthers 19-18 the following week to begin the long losing streak. Talent and numbers keep the Panthers down. The school awards only 15 scholarships. Most of their op ponents in the NCAA Division I-AA SWAG play with 65 scholarships. The Panthers start games with fresh legs but by the fourth quarter, they are worn down. “It’s been that and it’s still that,” Gilliard said. “That’s what’s haunting us right now. The only thing that will bring about change is a few more scholar ships.” The Panthers have scored 43 points this season but only 13 in the second half. Alabama A&M scored late for a 27-3 victory. Southern won 42-0, one of three shutouts against the Panthers this season.
