It couldn't happen, but it did.
Prior's meltdown came after the
infamous Bartman ball in Game 6.
But there were Cubs fans who re
fused to worry. "We've got Wood"
T-shirts could be seen all over
Chicago in the last month, and
there was a belief that Wood was
unbeatable.
He hadn't lost since Sept. 2, and
his ERA over the past month was
0.86. Then he went 2-0 against the
Braves in the NEDS, winning the de
cisive Game 5 with a five-hitter.
And when Wood hit a two-run
homer in the second to knot the
score at 3-3 on Wednesday night,
there was no doubt this would be
different. Then Alou hit a two-run
shot and the Cubs led 5-3 after
three innings.
Then came the collapse. Wood
was knocked out in the sixth, giving
up seven runs on seven hits. I le had
allowed more than five runs only
twice in 33 starts, and one of those
was in thin-air Colorado.
"I said all along if they could beat
our best — Prior and Wood — then
they would deserve to go to the
Series," Baker said. "And they did

beat our best."
Baker closed out his interview
with 4-year-old son Darren on his
lap, and Darren looked up at the
media and said: "The Cubs are go
ing to win next year."
That's right, Darren. Next year.

VOLLEYBALL
continued from page 13
After competing with five of the top
15 teams in the nation, Ferreira said
Oregon has had a habit of pressing for
a victory when it plays an unranked
opponent. Ferreira added that the
Ducks need to ignore the Wildcats'
record and play as if they were facing
one of the nation's elite
"We play very, very well at times
against these nationally ranked teams,
but we don't get the outcome we want,"
Ferreira said. "I hen you try to play too
hard against (unranked teams), and
you don't just relax and play."
This will be the first time Oregon has
traveled since classes began on Sept. 29.
For the nine freshmen on the team, this
will be another learning experience
"It's our first year in college, and
we've never had to travel like this," de
fensive specialist Allyson Leavitt said.
"This will be a lot different trip because
we'll have to study on the road."
Leavitt, a 2002 graduate of Thurston
1 ligh School in Springfield, has made
the transition to defensive specialist af
ter being an attacker for the duration of
her high school and club career. She is
routinely in the Oregon starting lineup
and has contributed 53 digs and five
service aces.
"Ally is a very good player," Ferreira
said. "She's responded well in a lot of
very critical moments. (She has) great
feet and good eye-hand coordination.
I'm not surprised at all that she's con
tributing to the level she's contributed."
Sarah Mason is another freshman
who expects to play a major role
against Arizona. The outside hitter
from Hilo, Hawaii leads Oregon in
kills per game (3.62), hitting percent
age (.245) and points per game (3.9)
during conference play.
Oregon assistant Keith Rubio wants
to win tonight's match as much, if not
more than anyone. The second-year
coach will have to put family love aside
tonight because his brother, Dave Ru
bio, is the Arizona head coach.
Keith Rubio has seven years of
coaching experience, including two
years as a volunteer assistant for USC.
Dave Rubio is in his 12th year as the
Arizona head coach and has guided
the Wildcats to four consecutive
sweet 16's.
After tonight's game, the Ducks
will travel to Tempe to play Arizona
State on Friday.

and a quarterback-by-committee sys
tem, the Ducks say they stand strong
and seek to stay above .500.
Head north about 300 miles on ln
terstate-5 and the I luskies have fallen
from grace under new head coach
Keith Gilbertson. With slick Rick
Neuheisel coaching gangsters — sor
ry, quarterbacks — at Seattle's Rainier
Beach High School, Gilby was left to
fend off the Cougars and a pack of
wolves from Nevada.
The Apple Cup, Washington's
toughest game after traveling to Cor
vallis on Saturday and hosting USC
on Oct. 25, is still five weeks away. By
then, the Huskies should hope their
heads are above water.
What has the Pac-10 come to?
Just a few years ago, Oregon won
back-to-back conference champi
onships in 2000 and 2001, sharing
the first with Washington and Ore
gon State.
Now the Beavers and Cougars are
scratching and clawing their way
through the pack while the I luskies are
tied for fifth and the Ducks tied for sev
enth in league standings.
On second glance, those look awful
big to be pigs flying — it must be
Beavers and Cougars.
