Ultimate teams sweep at sectionals ■ Club ultimate, crew and triathlon protect the home turf as baseball plays three close ones in Washington By Jesse Thomas for the Emerald The Oregon club sports men’s and women’s ultimate Frisbee teams took care of business last weekend by going unde feated on their home turf. The Ducks hosted the sectionals tourna ment, and with their sweep, the Oregon teams advance to regionals on May 5-6. “It was good to defend the home turf and be the state champions,” Oregon men’s head coach Joshua Greenough said. The teams’ goal is to advance to nationals in Boston, but the Ducks will have to place first in regionals and that means defeating powerhouse teams such as Stanford and UC-Davis. “We need to play at a consistently high and intense level,” Greenough said. Crew performs well at home regatta The Oregon club men’s and women’s crew teams were determined last weekend and it showed, as all of the teams placed in the top-three. The Ducks competed in the eighth annu al 2001 Covered Bridge Regatta on Saturday at Dexter Lake. Sevgral teams competed for Oregon with men’s and women’s novice and varsity boats all showing their talent. The toughest competition for both the men and women was in-state rival Oregon State, who has a varsity funded program. The Beavers were successful in defeating all of Oregon’s boats except for the varsity men’s open eight boat, which defeated the Beavers by four seconds. “It was close, and we rowed so hard,” Oregon coordinator Kurt McCulloch said. The Ducks also co-hosted the tournar ment with the Oregon Associa tion of Rowers. Next up, the teams head to Tacoma, Wash., this weekend for the Cascade Sprints. “I think it was a really fun weekend,” McCulloch said. “It was a big success.” Triathlon pulls off a winner at the ‘Chill’ After pulling several all-nighters, which included some members marking the bike course at 3 a.m., the second annual Duck Bill Chill was a success for the Oregon triathlon club. With a clear blue sky, the 50 competitors began three heats on Sunday at 7:30 a.m., and they completed a 500-yard swim, a 12.4-mile bike ride and a 3.1-mile run. In a solid performance, the top men’s fin isher was Riccardo Caruss in 1:03:00 and the top women’s finisher was Liz Wilson in atimeofl:12:25. Awards were also given to the winners of each age group along with random prize drawings at the conclusion of the afternoon. “It was a good experience for many as their first triathlon, and as a team for us in putting on the triathlon,” Oregon coordina tor Jay Williams said. “People were really satisfied with the course.” Baseball gives strong effort, drops two out of three The Oregon men’s club baseball team traveled north this weekend to face West ern Washington in a best-of-three series and finished 1-2. The Ducks were defeated in game one, 5 4, but came together for the second game on Saturday to defeat the Vikings 6-4. Oregon came ready to play on Sunday but couldn’t quite get over the hump and lost by a count of 5-4. In both their losses, the Ducks entered the bottom of the seventh tied up at four, but the Vikings pulled through in each game and came up with the winning fifth run. Oregon felt as if the wins were well with in grasp considering the Ducks out-hit Western Washington in every game. “It was a very productive weekend,” Ore gon head coach Kurt Langworthy said. “We proved something to ourselves.” Sports brief Mariners 6, Rangers 4 The Associated Press SEATTLE — Coming back to Safeco Field was a mistake for Alex Rodriguez. Two of them. The $252 million shortstop made two errors and went l-for-3 at the plate as his Texas Rangers lost to Seattle Mariners for the second straight day, 6-4 Tuesday night. John Olerud and Carlos Guillen hit two-run homers for the Mariners, 4-1 against Texas this season and 11-3 overall, for the best start in their history. Ichiro Suzuki, a seven-time batting champion in Japan, went 4-for-4 with a triple and an RBI, raising his batting average to .377. The right fielder robbed Rafael Palmeiro of a possible home run in the second, catching a drive at the top of the fence. Rodriguez, a four-time All-Star, threw low to first on Edgar Martinez’s first-inning grounder and misplayed Mike Cameron’s grounder in the seventh. Rodriguez has three errors in 15 games; last year, he had 10 in 148. Rodriguez is 2-for-8 during his first series in Seattle with Texas and 6-for-19 (.316) with no homers and two RBIs in the five games against the Mariners. In 10 other games this season, he’s 13 for 36 (.361) with four homers and 13 RBIs. There were more signs deriding Rodriguez, and one fan stood up in the fourth holding a throw-rug-sized placard designed to look like a dollar bill. There also were real dollar bills with “A Wad” written on them that floated down from the up per decks. Call (541) 3464343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today. P.O.
