Nothing works
for Oregon in
Hawaii series
HONOLULU — Even the
weather took a turn for the worse.
Expecting sun, Oregon’s
baseball team was instead
greeted with rain for the opening
games of their season-ending
series with Hawaii. On top of that,
they lost three in a row.
The Ducks, now 23-22 on the
year, lost in nearly every way pos
sible to the Rainbows, who are in
need of wins to catapult them into
the NCAA tournament.
In the first game of a Saturday
doubleheader, a late Oregon rally
fell short and the Ducks lost 3-2,
and in the nightcap they struck out
20 times and fell 9-1. Sunday, it
wasn't much better, as Oregon
lost 5-0 in a rain-delayed contest.
The Ducks were closest in the
season opener, as Dean Kegler
held the Rainbows to three runs
over seven innings. But his mates
didn’t fare well at the plate, as
Hawaii starter Rich Olsen baffled
them for six innings before giving
up two runs in the top of the
seventh, when Ron Sloy and
Kevin Tabler both had doubles.
That was the only threat that the
Ducks could muster, though, as
Gene Smith came on for the save
— helped by a missed suicide
squeeze attempt by Mike Carr.
In the second game, Oregon
never got a chance. After giving
up a run in the first inning, Derek
Tatsuna settled down to hold the
Ducks at bay for the final eight,
whiffing 20 while walking only
three. Meanwhile, the Rainbows
got to starter Glenn Fisher, knock
ing him for five runs in the third and
and one more in the fourth before
he was pulled for Don Mircovich
—who himself gave up two runs in
the fifth.
Oregon continued to be puzzled
at the plate in the rain game Sun
day, managing only four hits to
Hawaii’s eight. Rainbow starter
Mark Olmos, who notched his
seventh win against one loss, al
lowed only one walk and fanned
two in six innings.
Hawaii got to starter Adam Ber
lin in the first inning, when Rick
Bass, son of former football player
Dick Bass, was plunked by a Ber
lin pitch and took second base on
a ground ball. Curt Wantanabe
singled for the RBI.
The Rainbows added one more
in the fourth, two more in the fifth,
and one again in the sixth for the
win. Oregon appeared to be
breaking the shutout in the
seventh, but a Tabler triple went
unheeded as Carr and Glenn
Baggerty were retired to end the
game.
The teams wind up the series
with a doubleheader today.

Two of a kind:
Moments after UCLA's Mike Trfty, left, went 18-8% for an apparent world record,
Washington State's Henry Rono (207) took off in the 10,000 meters. Both are
world record holders, Tully in the indoor vault and Rono in the 5,000 meters and
steeplechase.
