the 110 meter hurdles (13.66) as
the only collegiate entry.
Oregon's other two representa
tives at the Olympic Trials saw
mixed results.

"It's still early and we got a lot
more games left to play," said
Morton, who is batting .272 with
nine home runs this season through
Sunday. "It's about getting base run
ners on and scoring them and getting
key base hits."
Eugene starting pitcher Vern Sterry
(2-2) took the loss after giving up six
earned runs off five hits in 5 1/3 in
nings. Sterry's ERA jumped more than
one run from 2.12 to 3.34.
"I felt good and my stuff
was working," Sterry said. "I don't
think (Everett's hitters) made any ad
justments. I think they just put the
ball out there and baseball is base
ball. You get a hit, you give up a hit
and that's how it works. Next time I
face this team, I'm going to keep
pitching the same."
After Sunday's game, Howell said
it is tough for any team to come back
in the latter innings from a deficit
when the opposition sends out their
best pitchers.
"In the seventh, eighth and ninth
innings, you're going to face the best
stuff," Howell said. "We battled and
we kept coming back. That's all you
can ask for. They got their five runs
and they capitalized on that. We did
n't capitalize when we had the chance
and when you face their closer and
setup guy, it's a little bit tougher."
Tough times occurred last Friday
when the Emeralds suffered their
worst offensive output of the season
in an 8-0 loss. Spokane used three
pitchers, who allowed only two hits
and struck out eight batters.
Morton, who had one of the two
hits, said figuring out the team's of
fense is puzzling. The team is last in
the league with a batting average of
.228 through Sunday.
"We got so many good hitters in
this lineup and we got so much po
tential to drive in a lot more runs,"
Morton said. "Unfortunately, it seems
like all of our hitters click on one
night. If we get a lot more guys work
ing together, especially on nights
when we're not all hitting the ball,
we'll probably be more
consistent."Eugene continues its se
ries against Everett tonight at 7:05
p.m. at Civic Stadium. The six-game
series ends Friday.
NOTES
The San Diego Padres, Eugene's
major league affiliate, signed non
