of talented receivers to throw to
as Wyoming looks to maintain
an offense that relies heavily on
aerial assault.
The Cowboys had the 28th
best national pass offense last fall.
Junior receiver Jovon Bouknight
is expected to put up huge num
bers and should be the main tar
get for Bramlet. Coaches are also
impressed with sophomore run
ning back Ivan Harrison and have
penned him to take the starting job
in their home opener against Appa
lachian State on Sept. 4.
Defensively, the Cowboys will
look to the leadership of an experi
enced linebacker corps to ten-orize
offenses. Seniors Randy Tschamer
and Guy Tuell will start at middle
and weak-side linebacker, respec
tively, and will provide experienced
support for the defensive line. With
many recognizable improvements
made, the Mountain West confer
ence has penned the 2004 Cowboys
as the “Team on the Rise.”

1NCINNAT1 (AP) — The Houston Astros
lare hitting their way into the NL wild-card race.
rad Ausmus hit a tiebreaking three-run hom
er m the sixth inning and drove in a season-high
on! visit^B 11 ' runs as t l" ie surging Astros reached double
ures in runs for the third time in the last four
■nes in an 11-3 victory over the Cincinnati
f ds on Monday night.
I Lance Berkman homered twice and drove in
foi r runs for the Astros, who scored a combined
| runs in their last four games and won for the
'enth time in eight games.
‘We’re taking the pressure off of our pitchers,”
said Berkman, who had the 13th multihomer game
so/monti plhis career and fifth against Cincinnati. “Hope-
fttlly, we’re getting on a roll at the right time. We
3bdriAild a period of time when things weren’t going
ose tos well, and it was all gloom and doom. Now, it’s
go ng the other way.”
Houston remained just four games behind Chi-
0, which leads the NL wild-card race. The As-
s won the last three of their four-game series
binst the Cubs over the weekend before beat-.
E g the Reds.
“You know how many runs they scored in the
icago series,” Reds manager Dave Miley said.

“They’re hitting the ball well.”
Pete Munro went five-plus innings to win for
the first time in seven starts since July 25. He
gave up three runs and eight hits, and struck out
a season-high six.
Adam Dunn hit his 40th homer for the Reds,
and Felipe Lopez added a two-run shot.
“It’s just not good timing for us right now,”
Dunn said. “We’re playing as bad as we’ve
played in a while, and it doesn’t help to be play
ing teams that are really hot.”
With the game tied at 3, Jeff Kent reached on a
leadoff infield single, Mike Lamb grounded into
fielder’s choice, Jose Vizcaino singled and Ausmus
homered to center on a 3-0 pitch from Phil Norton.
It was Ausmus’ first homer in 59 at-bats since
July 25.
“We’ve been getting timely hitting, just not
usually from me,” Ausmus said. “I was looking
for a fastball up and out over the plate, and I was
lucky enough to get one.”
Houston broke it open with a four-run seventh,
including Berkman’s two-run double and Aus-
mus’s run-scoring single. Berkman scored when
Dunn failed to catch Kent’s drive to the warning
track in left for a two-base error.
