D3 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1991 Tigers sweep Rangers as Deer homers in 10th; SPORTS BEAT EDITED BY USA FROST AMERICAN LEAGUE fifth homer of the season. Welch was hard to handle the rest of the game. He had allowed a first-inning single to Alex Cole and fourth-inning single to Carlos Martinez, but no hits after the fifth. On Tuesday night, the Indians intentionally walked the bases loaded with nobody out, and it worked. When the going got rough again, that strategy cost them the game as the A's won 7-6.

Mike Gallego's two-run triple off Doug Jones (1-7) in the 13th tied the score. After the bases were then intentionally loaded, Gallego scored the winning run when reliever Mike York walked Terry Steinbach. Gallego was walked intentionally when the A's had a chance to win the game in the 11th. But Steve Olin struck out Mark McGwire and Rickey Henderson and got Steinbach on a grounder. The five intentional walks issued by Cleveland tied an American League record last set in 1972 by the Minnesota Twins.

Brewers 4, Twins 3: Paul Moli-tor tied the score with a ninth-inning double and Daryl Hamilton fol lowed with a game-winning singly; as host Milwaukee beat Former major-league catcher" Bob Uecker, the voice of the Brew- ers, has been diagnosed as having an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta' -and will undergo surgery tomorrow.

California demoted after two ineffective starts. agreement with the Angels states that he will stay in the minors for at-, least 30 days.

He's expected to start. three games for Midland before go? jr ing to Triple-A Edmonton of the cific Coast League. Associated Press These are the games that make Rob Deer glad he's in Detroit. Deer's two-run, lOth-inning homer gave the Tigers a 64 victory over Texas yesterday at Tiger Stadium and a sweep of the three-game series with the Rangers. A year ago, playing for the Milwaukee Brewers, Deer might not have had the chance to win a game like this.

He has just two hits in 23 at-bats since the All-Star break, and his average has fallen to .185. But at this rate, he might be the most valuable .185 hitter in the major leagues. His last two hits were homers. The one he hit Tuesday night, breaking an 0-for-18 spell, tied the game in the eighth and the Tigers won in the ninth. "With the Brewers, I always felt pressure to hit just to stay in the lineup," Deer said.

"It's a whole different story playing for (Tigers manager) Sparky Anderson. Here, I get a chance to hit just to win ball-games. Wayne Rosenthal (1-1) started the 10th by walking Pete Incaviglia. Deer hit the next pitch into the left-field seats for his 19th homer. Jeffersonville, native Walt Terrell (6-9), making his second relief appearance since being sent to the bullpen, gave up two hits over the last three innings for the Tigers.

Indians 2, Athletics 1i Glenal-len Hill's two-run homer in the fifth inning helped Rod Nichols earn his first victory since 1989 as visiting Cleveland edged Oakland. "Is there a monkey off my back? It feels like a whole zoo off my back," said Nichols (1-8), who broke a 13-game losing streak with a four-hitter. Nichols was 0-4 lifetime against Oakland and 0-16 versus the American League West before finally breaking through with his first victory since Sept. 14, 1989. Trailing 1-0 in the fifth, the Indians took the lead against Bob Welch (8-6) when Mark Whiten led off with a single and scored on Hill's Middle's Stewart resigns to take CBA coaching job Middle Tennessee State University basketball coach Bruce Stewart said yesterday he's leaving to take the head coaching job with the Grand Rapids Hoops of the Continental Basketball Association.

He replaces former NBA great Cazzie Russell. The Blue Raiders' basketball program received a letter of inquiry this spring from the NCAA concerning possible rules violations, but Stewart said it didn't figure in his decision. "There was no pressure," he said. "We've been planning for the future of the Blue Raider program right up until now." In his seven years as head coach, Stewart took Middle to three NCAA Tournaments and earned a pair of National Invitation Tournament bids. His teams compiled a 141-76 record.

DOXING George Foreman, upset over being passed over by heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield for Mike Tyson, has filed a $100 million lawsuit in Harris County, Texas, against Holyfield, promoter Dan Duva and trainer Shelly Finkel, claiming a breach of contract. The lawsuit also asks that a judge issue an injunction to prevent Holyfield from fighting Tyson for the title. Holyfield and Tyson have set their bout for Nov. 8 in Las Vegas. The lawsuit contends Holyfield already had signed a contract to fight Foreman Nov.

8 when he agreed to fight Tyson. As part of the agreement with Holyfield, Foreman agreed to back off nearly completed negotiations for a fight with Tyson. TRACK AND FIELD Ben Johnson will not attempt to regain his 100-meter title at the world championships in Tokyo next month, concentrating instead on earning a spot on Canada's 400 relay team, said his manager, Kemeel Azan. The announcement follows a report from Zurich that the organizer of a Swiss track meet next month suggested Johnson run in a relay race to avoid the "humiliation" of having to compete in the division of the 100. Johnson has struggled since returning last September from a two-year ban for failing a drug test in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Merlene Ottey won the women's 100 in 10.87 seconds in the Golden Gala Grand Prix meet in Rome, extending her string of consecutive victories in the event to 52.

Continued from Page 1 reason why the Redbirds are 20 games under .500 and in last place in the Eastern Division. The game lasted 3:39, the longest nine-inning contest of the season for the Redbirds. After Denver left nine runners on base in the first three innings, it stranded just one more. Louisville left 15, including three each in the second, sixth and eighth innings. "I thought after we left so many on in the first three innings, there was no way we were going to win that game," Muser said.

"But all of a sudden we score nine. What a crazy game." Fortugno's first save was not a thing of beauty. In two innings, he walked three, hit a batter and threw a wild pitch. But he gave up no hits. "It was getting a little crazy and I wanted to close the door," he said.

"I survived, basically." He survived when Canale stabbed a rocket off the bat of Joey Fernandez for the final out. Left-hander Mike Milchin (4-4) will pitch tonight's 7:15 game for the Redbirds. He'll be opposed by ex-Redbird and St. Louis lefty Greg Mathews (2-1). NOTES Outfielder Willy Ma-gallanes and catcher Orlando Thomas were added to the Red-birds' roster yesterday, Magallanes from the disabled list and Thomas from Class A Springfield, 111.

On Mike Felder's throw home, Jefferies failed to touch the plate originally, then scrambled back and tagged it for the winning run. "I looked at Bruce (Froemming, the plate umpire), and he didn't give any sign," Jefferies said. "I figured I missed the plate since (Terry) Kennedy had it blocked so well, so I went back the secpnd time."
