Johnson avenges UA loss
By Bob Baum
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Revenge is sweet,
Randy Johnson joked, even after 14 years.
The last time Johnson faced the Univer
sity of Arizona, he walked six and was
shelled for six runs on 13 hits in a 7-3
loss.
That was 1985. He was no Big Unit then,
just an extremely tall, extremely wild junior
at USC.
Johnson took the mound against the
Wildcats again on Wednesday, making his
Arizona Diamondback debut by methodi
cally striking out four of the six batters he
faced in two perfect innings.
“I’m getting back at U of A after all those
beatings 1 used to take at USC,” Johnson
said.
Two of the college players, 19-year-old
Keoni DeRenne and 21-year-old Dennis An
derson, managed to bounce out to short
stop, the biggest groundouts of their lives.
"He was almost like the Eiffel Tower be
cause I’m only 5-foot-7,” DeRenne said.
“He’s immense. It was just awesome, man.
Hopefully they got it on videotape because
I’d like to show it to my kids someday.”
Johnson, who warned last week not to ex
pect anything overwhelming from him in
spring training, threw 31 pitches. Five were
call strikes, seven were swinging strikes, six
were fouls, 11 were balls and two were hit
in play.
He threw a couple breaking balls and
change-ups, but mostly four-seam and two
seam fastballs.
‘‘I’m a little disappointed the breaking
ball wasn’t there, but I’m always that way
in spring training,” Johnson said. “I just
went out there to work on my mechanics
and my arm strength.”
Johnson, who signed a four-year, $52.4
million contract with the Diamond
backs, strolled to the mound at Tucson
Electric Park under bright sunshine in
80-degree weather. In the distance be
yond left field, the Catalina Mountains
provided a scenic backdrop to what
amounted to a historic moment for the
second-year franchise.
The Diamondback purple was the
fourth major-league uniform Johnson has
worn. He started his career with Montreal
and spent 9 1/2 seasons as a Seattle
Mariner. For a half-season last year, he
was a Houston Astro. Now he’s the mar
quee addition to a high-priced rotation
that could vault Arizona into National
League contention.

ford program.
“I think they play with so much
confidence that they’ve allowed
themselves to dominate teams,” said
Kent, who is 0-3 against the Cardinal
with Oregon. "We’re just a little bit
intimidated by the fact that they’ve
had so much success. Sometimes you
go in with a little bit of uncertainty
about yourself.
"You’ve got to be able to defeat that
mentally before you can beat them
physically.”
However, Kent also believes the
Ducks, who have won five of six games
to get back into postseason contention,
are ready to play with a team of Stan
ford’s caliber.
“I just think we’re a better basket
ball team now,” Kent said of his
team’s first encounter with the Cardi
nal. “I think they’ve been good all
year long. We’ve had a chance to get
better.”
Stanford head coach Mike Mont
gomery agrees that Oregon has im
proved.
“They’re probably a little more confi
dent in what they’re doing, knowing
what they’re trying to do, how it fits and
what they need to do to win,” Mont
gomery said. “1 think, as much as any- i
thing else, winning a few close games
has helped them.”

Montgomery said he knows the Car
dinal cannot afford a let-down at
McArthur Court.
“We want to try to continue to im
prove and build some momentum going
into the tournament,” Montgomery
said.
Stanford point guard Arthur Lee
hopes to continue the momentum he
gained in outplaying Arizona's Jason
Terry last Saturday and earning Pac-10
player of the week honors.
So tonight, without further ado, the
Ducks hope their season will not go out
like a lamb.
