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. Men Continued from Page 9 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. 105 TYPING/RESUME SERVICES At 344-0759, ROBIN is GRAD SCHOOL APPROVED. 20-year thesis/dissertation background.
