Sports brief
Twins continue to sizzle with
win against Yankees
MINNEAPOLIS — Doug Mien
tkiewicz had just finished telling
reporters about how the Minneso
ta Twins are a team without any in
dividual stars.
“No, I take that back,” he said,
glancing at Brad Radke across the
room. “He’s our superstar.”
Mientkiewicz’s tiebreaking
home run in the seventh inning
gave Radke and the Twins a 2-1
victory over the New York Yankees
Monday night.
Radke (5-0) pitched his second
complete game of the season and
became the first five-game winner
in the major leagues by outdueling
Andy Pettitte.
Radke allowed six hits, includ
ing Tino Martinez’s home run in
the fourth, struck out four and
walked one. He became the first
pitcher in franchise history to start
a season 5-0 since the Washington
Senators’ Walter Johnson did it in
1913.
“It’s always nice to beat the
champs,” said Radke. “I didn’t re
ally want to mess that game up.”

Men take eighth at Pac-10s
■ Certain individuals have
solid rounds, but the Duck
golfers finish eighth as a team
at the league tourney
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
Like a light bulb that flickers on
and off before going completely
out, the No. 20 Oregon men’s golf
team may have officially thrown
the switch off on the 2000-01 sea
son this weekend.
At the very least, the Ducks need
to throw in a new bulb before the
NCAA West Regionals in three
weeks.
Oregon finished eighth at the Pa
cific-10 Conference Champi
onships in Palo Alto, Calif., over
the weekend. The Ducks ended the
tournament with their best round,
a combined 351, to secure eighth
place.
The story of the tournament for
Oregon was the play of Aaron By
ers and John Ellis. Byers’ 68 in the
first round carried him through to
the final day, and he ended in 12th
overall. Ellis’ standout round came
on the last day when he shot a 69 to
end up in 19th.
The story of the tournament was
the pack of teams that finished
around Oregon and the even tighter
race for first. While the Ducks fin
ished eighth, they ended up only
10 strokes behind the fifth-place
team, No. 38 UCLA. Sixth-place
and No. 41 Stanford was only two
strokes ahead of Oregon, while sev
enth-place Washington State fin
ished a mere stroke ahead of the
Ducks.
At the top of the team race, No. 6
Southern California stunned the
field to take first by four strokes
over No. 4 Arizona State. The Tro
jans’ win broke the Sun Devils’
streak of six straight Pac-10 crowns.
No. 18 Arizona finished third,
four strokes behind Arizona State,
while No. 29 Washington finished
fourth overall.
The Ducks will continue their
postseason run at the NCAA West
Regionals in Corvallis May 17-19. If
Oregon does well at Regionals, it
will travel to the NCAA Champi
onships later this month.
Spurs advance to second round
By john Akers
The'Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — The San An
tonio Spurs needed more than their
Twin Towers to eliminate the Min
nesota Timberwolves from their
first-round series Monday night.
Tim Duncan scored 24 and David
Robinson added 21 in the 97-84
victory, but timely three-pointers
by Danny Ferry and Antonio
Daniels put the Spurs over the top.
Duncan was just 8-of-23 from the
field, and Robinson went to the
■ bench with his fourth foul in the
third period. Ferry and Daniels hit
four three-pointers apiece to prove
that these Spurs are more than a
two-man show.
“We’ve ridden on Timmy’s back
all season,” Ferry said. “When
teams double-team him, we have
other guys who can shoot the ball.”
The Spurs, 3-1 winners of the se
ries, also knocked the Wolves out of
the first round in 1999, before going
on to win the NBA title. They will
play the winner of the Dallas-Utah
series.
“It doesn’t matter who we play,”
said Duncan, who also had 16 re
bounds. “You can say that, and
sometimes it does matter. This
time, it really doesn’t. If Dallas
comes back, that could take a lot of
them. Utah would be fine, too.”
The Wolves lost in the first round
for the fifth time.Their 0-5 series
record in the playoffs is the worst
among all NBA franchises.
“It’s getting pretty old,” Timber
wolves guard Terrell Brandon said.
“The fans want something else to
happen, and they deserve it.”
Robinson came up with a pair of
big baskets after Minnesota’s Bran
don and Anthony Peeler, both score
less in the first half, hit back-to-back
three-pointers with less than six
minutes left to make it 75-73.
“There was a tough stretch where
we got into a slump there,” said
Robinson, who had 14 rebounds.
“Coming back down the floor, I felt
pretty good so I put them up there.
Finishing out this game means so
much to me.”
