Mill Camp: Testimony differed

derwood and one of the club’s owners, Arthur Haf
fling, and warned repeatedly to leave the premises.
Smith and McCullough got into Smith’s car and began
to drive off while exchanging words with the bounc
ers.
At that point the car stopped. According to Haf
fling’s account in the police report, Smith approached
them slowly then swerved towards them, at which
point the bouncers stepped behind parked cars. Ac
cording to Thursday’s Register-Guard, Smith testified
he was, “trying to drive away when the bouncers
stood in front of their car in the parking lot.”
By all accounts, Smith then exited the vehicle and
confronted Underwood, at which point the alterca
tion began. According to Stam, Bellotti said in a con
versation with the bouncer the next day that Smith
admitted throwing a punch at Underwood. Stam then
attempted to break up the fight by placing Smith in a
“barrel hold,” according to the police report. McCul
lough exited the vehicle and punched Underwood in
the head from behind, according to the bouncers’ ac
counts in the police report. Varying accounts of the
incident, including Stam’s, also accused McCullough
of kicking Underwood in the head, rendering the
bouncerunconscious. McCullough admitted kicking
Underwood in the head to Bellotti the next day, ac
cording to Stain’s testimony in the police report.
According to The Register-Guard, McCullough tes
tified he was simply trying to protect his teammate

the bouncer down.
After the scuffle, McCullough
jumped into the driver’s seat of the
car and drove across the street,
where Smith was waiting after leav
ing the parking lot on foot.
Both players’ assault charges
stemmed from the blows directed at
Underwood. The trespass charges re
latea to amith and McCullough s alleged refusal to
leave the premises. Smith’s harassment charge result
ed from repeated blows that he was accused of direct
ing at Stam, who blocked them, according to the po
lice report.
Smith was suspended by Bellotti indefinitely from
the football team after receiving a subsequent drunk
en driving arrest later that month. He was reinstated
after the first day of spring practice.
Ems: Righty
fifth in ERA

standing every time he’s been
out.”
With those five Ks, Sobkowiak
increased his Northwest League
leading strikeout total to 52, 15
more than second-place Monty
Ward of Spokane. The 20-year-old
also moved into fifth in the
league's pitching race by lowering
his team-leading ERA to 1.43.
Eugene manager Jim Saul said
there’s no secret to Sobkowiak’s
success.
"He changes speeds, he chal
lenges the hitters and he goes right
at ’em,” he said.
Nyman agreed with that assess
ment.
“He just has power stuff, and he
takes it right after people,” the
coach said. “So we like everything
about him that everybody else
who tries to hit off him likes about
him: he’s a big, strong kid.”
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound
Sobkowiak opened his season
with an 11-9 loss to Portland in the
Ems’ fourth game, when in typical
fashion he allowed just two runs
on two hits and a walk while strik
ing out nine in five innings.
His next start, against defending
league-champion Boise, was pos
sibly his worst of the season, as
Sobkowiak gave up five hits and
five walks in less than five innings
of work. While his strike out total
of five was encouraging, his four
earned runs were not. The Ems
were able to stay close to the
Hawks offensively that night,
eventually losing 6-5 in 10 in
nings.
“It’s game in and game out for
us,” Sobkowiak said last week.
“Sometimes we don’t get a good
pitching performance. We’ll play
defense and we’ll hit, our pitcher
just won’t do the jobthat night.”
Sobkowiak definitely did the
job in his next start, when at home
against Everett he allowed six hits,
one walk and two unearned runs
while striking out nine in six in
nings. The Ems managed to win 4
3, but Sobkowiak was again sad

died with a no decision.
The big righthander eventually
found his winning ways in his
fourth start, a 5-2 defeat of Port
land at home in which he allowed
just three hits and two walks in
five innings.
He took revenge against Everett
July 9, when he finally beat the
AquaSox by striking out nine and
allowing two hits and a pair of
walks in six scoreless innings. He
followed that up on Wednesday in
perhaps his most dominating start
of the season, when against the
league-leading Hawks,
Sobkowiak struck out 10 in six in
nings while allowing three hits,
one walk and one unearned run.
Sobkowiak took the loss in that
game, a 6-0 Boise victory, but re
mained confident.
"It used to be defense,” he said
after the loss. “We had 50 errors in
15 games, or some ridiculous
number like that. But we seem to
have stepped it up. I had a couple
of guys make some great plays be
hind me tonight. It seems like
when we do play defense, we
don’t hit, and when we hit, we
don’t play defense. We need to put
everything together, and I’m sure
we’ll run off 10 straight [wins].”
The Ems are two steps closer to
that goal today than they were last
week, as Sobkowiak's third win of
the season on Monday gave Eu
gene its second win in a row. Ems
fans should get their fill of
Sobkowiak now because accord
ing to Nyman, they may soon have
to watch their man collecting vic
tories for a different team, and rel
atively soon.
"He’s as good as anything we’ve
seen at this point in time through
the last three or four years,” Ny
man said. “He’s 90 to 92 [mph]
with a breaking ball that people
are having a real hard time putting
in play, and he’s starting to devel
op a changeup. So if Scott keeps
going, we’ll see him in the big
leagues in a couple of years.” m
But, hopefully for Ems fans, not
before Sobkowiak can help Eu
gene to its first Northwest League
playoff appearance in two sea
sons.
Seahawks start camp without Moon
Dy nicnuias iv. ueramos
The Associated Press
CHENEY, Wash. —The Seattle Seahawks’ training
camp began Monday with plenty of sun but no War
ren Moon.
The veteran quarterback remained a holdout be
cause of a contract dispute. There were no talks Mon
day, agent Leigh Steinberg said.
“We sent a letter to the Seahawks today trying to
see if there is room for compromise,” Steinberg said
Monday night in a telephone interview. “This is a
new and strange experience for Warren. It’s the first
day out of training camp in 20 years. ”
Randy Mueller, Seattle’s vice president of football
operations, has said salary cap limitations prevent the
Seahawks from paying Moon significantly more.
Mueller did not return a telephone message Monday.
Too much is being made of the 41-year-old’s age,
Steinberg said. “He was 41 when he threw a touch
down in the Pro Bowl six months ago,” Steinberg said.
