Mariners snap A’s win streak at 11 contests OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Ri chie Zisk’s home run with two out in the eighth inning sent Seattle to a 3-2 victory over Oakland as the Mariners stopped the A’s record winning streak at 11 in the second game of a doubleheader Sunday. Rickey Henderson tripled and doubled as the A’s won the first game, 6-1, to set a modern major league record by opening the season with 11 victories in a row. They broke the record of 10 set by three other teams — the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, 1962 Pittsburgh Pirates and 1966 Cleveland Indians. Senior matmen receive awards Ryan Kelly, an All-American wrestler at 190 pounds, was named Oregon’s outstanding wrestler at a banquet honoring the team.

Stuebing was given the Miller Award for best individual effort and Miller accepted the Grant Henjoyji Award for most outstanding contribution to the team.

Ducks win one, drop two in series Photo by Steve Dykes After a fourth-inning homer by Bill Gwinn (17) in the second game, the Ducks jumped to a 5-1 lead, but OSU scored the next six points to claim the win. ssamssmesa By DOUG LEVY Of the Emerald Oregon State dodged two bullets Saturday to sweep a doubleheader from Oregon, 7-3, 7-5, at Howe Field, aveng ing an 11-4 pasting from the Ducks at Corvallis Friday. The series started well en ough Friday as the Ducks paint ed Corvallis green and yellow. Oregon jumped to a 6-0 lead after three innings and never let up, reeling the OSU pitchers with a 15-hit attack. Five of the hits were for extra bases, including doubles by Kirk Cameron, Bill Gwinn and Eric Martinez and a triple by Randy Porter. Meanwhile, Dean Kegler was sailing along with an eight-hitter and throwing a rare complete game for the Ducks, giving the senior a 5-2 record along with his third straight victory. Saturday, when Mike Talia had gone five innings and al lowed the Beavers only one hit, it appeared Oregon was finally getting some consistent pitch ing. The Ducks held a 2-0 lead off a Gwinn RBI single in the first and Steve Crum’s fifth-inning homer, so there was no reason for the crowd to believe Oregon wouldn’t nail down the win. But the Beavers tied it in the sixth as Talia tired. OSU then took advantage in the seventh when Talia surrendered a line drive double, reliever Jim Givens walked one man and hit another and Dan King served up a meatball that Al Hunsinger deposited over the left-field fence Game one was in the books. In game two Oregon obliged its fans by jumping out to a 5-1 lead behind Gwinn's two-run homer and Mike Black s RBI double during a four-run fourth inning. Dean Hummel had retired nine straight Beavers, but OSU then tagged Hummel and Sam Manley for three runs to trail 5-4 after six. It stayed that way until the ninth, when the Beavers struck for three runs off Givens, who had pitched well in the seventh and eighth. The Beavers were unwillingly aided by Oregon’s James Nutt, who dropped a fly ball in the ninth. OSU reliever Jim Grove held off a mild Oregon threat in the bottom of the ninth, leaving Beaver coach Jack Riley all smiles and Duck mentor Mel Krause wondering about what might have been. “These games were an ex ample of what happens when our pitchers don’t keep the ball down,” said Krause. Oregon’s next game will be Tuesday when they entertain the University of Portland Pilots.

He also doubled for Billy Jack in the movie “Billy Jack” and participated in the sequel “The Trial of Billy Jack”. He toured the northeast coast in the Fall of 1975 with Bob Dylan and his namesake, the Rolling Thunder Revue. “Modern man talks of harnessing nature, conquering nature and making nature a servant of man. This shows that man doesn’t know the first thing about nature and nature’s ways...Nature is sovereign and man’s inner nature is sovereign. Nature is to be respected. All life and every single living thing is to be respected. That’s the only answer.” — Rolling Thunder. ® CLUB ROOM Weve always got a reason to have a good time.
