MMMM TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, August 17, 1994 Rodeo from page 1 embers stayed aglow in round two, when their 5.4-second run placed them fourth in that round. But it looked like his dreams were going up in smoke when in round three Hurley missed the steer with both loops and took the team out of the average race. Hurley's dream appeared all but extinguished when the team failed to place in rounds four and five, but a tiny ember lay quiet until a gust of wind sparked it. From round six on out it was a wildfire in a 100 mile an hour windstorm. Hurley and Bach went on a tear, sharing first-place money in the final five rounds. “ After the first five rounds, we knew what we had to do. But I'm surprised it worked," said Hurley, a native of Clarksville, Ark., who now lives in Ceres, Calif. “ You lay there in bed and think, 'What if we could win five in a row?' But then you realize that's not possible aginst the top 15 teams in the world." Hurley and Bach proved it is, indeed, possible. The team tied with Matt Tyler and Steve Northcott for the round-six victory, then in credibly won the final four rounds. By the ninth round, Hurley, who had entered the rodeo in fourth place an unlike ly candidate for a world title, appeared a credible threat for the gold buckle. Season Leaders Tee Woolman and Rich Skelton kept the pressure on until the end, placing in the final round with their 5.0-second run. Then Hurley and Bach stepped up, the last team of the rodeo. When the flag dropped, all eyes in the place met at the Copenhagen Skoal Scoreboard to see 4.5 seconds. Bach wasn't bitter about finishing as the runner-up after contributing 50 percent to Hurley's phenomenal finals. In 1990, header Doyle Gellerman was the one who helped Bach to his second world title but didn't share in the world- championship glory. “ I'm happier now than I was then," said Bach, 36, of Merc ed, Calif. “To help Bobby is a great feeling, it really is. I've roped with every header there is and I've never seen anybody rope like Bobby did tfris week. It was incredible. He was in a zone. You always dream of get ting on a hot streak. Bobby rode the barrier as hard as he could every time. He turned the last seven in a row as fast as you can turn a steer."
