Soccer looks to bounce back ■The Ducks suffered their second loss of the season Wednesday but take on lowly Portland State this weekend By Peter Hockaday Oregon Daily Emerald Portland State soccer has a per manent black cat in its path. The Vikings walk under ladders on a consistent basis. PSU is still searching for its first win this season. The Vikings searched at Boise State, but lost 2 1. They searched at Western Ore gon but got edged 1-0. Even Air Force got the best of Portland State, 6-1. The Vikings are 0-8-1 this sea son. They were 0-18-0 last season. Over their last 39 games, Portland State is 1-37-1. You can count the program’s wins over the past four years on one hand. To add to their woes, Portland State will try to end their losing streak Sunday at Oregon’s Pape Field, if the Vikings can’t beat Central Washington tonight. The Ducks are 4-1 at Pape Field, and the “1” came at the hands of Portland Wednesday in a 3-0 blowout. That loss, Oregon head coach Bill Steffen said, will get the Ducks even more fired up for the Vikings. “Hopefully, we’ve taken away the lesson (from Portland) that we can’t just show up,” Steffen said. “Portland State has had some bad luck in the past, but we can’t just show up.” For Oregon, Portland State rep resents one final test before the start of Pacific-10 Conference play next week. The Ducks have Cardinal, Bears and Bruins on the mind, not Pilots. --■: .-.^:...^-.■•• -.■•-■ . I Adam Amato Emerald Senior Crystal David said the Ducks will be “fired up” for Portland State on Sunday. Still, Oregon players say they will not overlook Portland State. “We’ll definitely be fired up in order to get that winning streak go ing again,” senior forward Crystal David said. David referred to the four-game winning streak Oregon carried into its matchup with Portland. That streak was the longest in school history, and the Ducks are still off to the best start in their six season existence, despite Wednes day’s setback. The teams have a mixed history, which should add to the intrigue of Sunday’s match. In 1996, Ore gon’s first full season, Portland State handed the Ducks a 1-0 loss. Oregon returned the favor in 1997, beating Portland State by the same score. In 1998, the teams played to a 1-1 tie, after two sudden-death overtime periods could not deter mine a winner. The Ducks will most likely turn to playmakers Chalise Baysa and Nicole Garbin early in Sunday’s game. Baysa became Oregon’s all time leading scorer last week against Eastern Washington, and Garbin is on her way toward Ore gon’s best freshman campaign since Baysa was a new recruit four years ago. Garbin leads the team in goals, with five. Baysa had nine goals her freshman year. Oregon and Portland State will square off at 1 p.m. Sunday. Bonds hits his Mark with home run No. 70 By Tom Haudricourt Milwaukee Journal Sentinel HOUSTON (KRT) — The waiting game ended in dramatic fashion for Barry Bonds. The San Francisco slugger erased the frustrations of drawing three more walks with a monstrous home run Thursday night off Houston re liever Wilfredo Rodriguez in the top of the ninth inning at Enron Field. The blast on a 1-1 fastball was the 70th homer of the season for Bonds, matching the major-league record established by St. Louis’ Mark McGwire in 1998. The Giants, who won, 10-2, have three games left in the regular season — all at home — for Bonds to become the undisput ed home run king. Bonds had walked three times in four plate appearances in the game and eight times in 14 trips in the three-game series when he stepped to the plate to open the ninth. Ro driguez, a 22-year-old left-hander making his second big-league ap pearance, blew a fastball past Bonds, then threw another one high. The third pitch, another fastball, was in Bonds’ wheelhouse and he crushed it into the upper deck in right-center. Bonds raised his arms in triumph after striking the ball, well aware he had hit No. 70. When Bonds got to home plate, he was mobbed by his teammates, who had poured out of the dugout to cel ebrate the historic blast. He then was given not one but two curtain calls Men’s continued from page 9A j lege,” Jordan said. “I get to play on the same team as my brother and get to play for my dad. It almost seems like a chapter out of a storybook, but it’s business now. This is going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done. “I’m ready to step up to the by the appreciative Houston crowd of 43,734, the third consecutive record attendance of the series. After the inning was over, Bonds jogged out to his position in left field, where he was greeted by San Fran cisco’s relief corps, which emerged from the bullpen to congratulate him. He then was removed from the game by manager Dusty Baker, draw ing one last standing ovation. The Giants begin a three-game series against Los Angeles tonight at Pacific Bell Park. First out of the chute for the Dodgers is ace right-hander Chan Ho Park, who already has surren dered one memorable homer this season, a farewell blast to Cal Rip ken Jr. in the All-Star Game in Seat tle. Bonds has five career homers off Park but also 13 walks. Since hitting his 69th homer Satur day against San Diego reliever Chuck McElroy, Bonds had gone to the plate 18 times, drawing 10 walks and get ting hit by two pitches. He was begin ning to wonder if he’d ever see anoth er pitch he could drive, but Rodriguez finally delivered one. In the first inning, Bonds picked up where he left off Wednesday night, drawing a four-pitch walk from veteran right-hander Dave Mlicki. Once again, cleanup hitter Jeff Kent made the Astros pay, sock ing a first-pitch homer to left. (c) 2001, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
