Butch Huskey had two solo home runs and Tim Sandy went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and one RBI for the Mets. Mason Rudolph also had three hits and an RBI for St. Lucie. St. Lucie improved its record to 26-22 and moved within a half game of West Palm Beach in the Eastern Division.

Osceola dropped to 22-25. Ottis Smith got the win. St. Lucie will host the Astros tonight at 7. Robbie Guzik (2-1) will pitch for the Mets.

He will face former St. Lucie Met Chris Hill (14-6). St. Lucie 10, Osceola 3 noon, Ray Handley 's much-talked about offensive line switch is over. Sunday, a day after the Giants' 16-7 preseason victory over the the Cleveland Browns, Hand-ley announced that Doug Riesen-berg would switch from left tackle to his original spot at right tackle.

William Roberts, who has been cleared to practice today after missing two weeks with an irregular heartbeat, will revert to his original left guard position from right guard. And Bob Kratch, the right guard throughout Moore's absence, will become the starter.

He will be sidelined at least one or two weeks, coach Handley said. Meggett will undergo a CAT scan today. Other Giants injury news: Quarterback Jeff Hos-tetler's throwing shoulder still is sore and he will not throw until the pain is gone. Safety Myron Guyton is in the hospital to receive treatment for inflammation in his back.

Handley said he will be sidelined this week but should return to practice next Monday. Cornerback Phillippi Sparks has a "fairly severe" pulled groin and will be out at least a week. Linebacker Corey Miller (sore shoulder) is expected back on the field Tuesday. Running back Rodney Hampton (knee) is day to day. Running back Charles Young (neck) will undergo examinations early this week.

Wide receiver Ed McCaffrey (pinched nerve) may return as early as Thursday. Running back Lewis Tillman (slight ankle sprain) will practice on a limited basis. AFC KANSAS CITY CHIEFS Tackle Rich Baldinger signed a contract Sunday, cutting to three the team's number of unsigned veterans. Baldinger, 32, is in his 1 1th NFL season and has started 31- of his last 32 games. He lost his starting job to Derrick Graham before the regular- "I have no reaction to it," Handley said.

"I went as long as I felt I could in hopes of doing things. There's a chance we may go into the first game with the same line as we had last year. "I wasn't dissatisfied with the line we had last year. I thought I had an idea that might improve the line for next year, but we'll just make do with the same line. Maybe Kratch will start at right guard." Handley had set a deadline for Moore to agree to a contract.

That presumably passed sometime last week, at which time in became apparent that things would change once left tackle Jumbo Elliott and Roberts returned. The coach was ready for it. The Giants could have kept second-year tackle Clarence Jones at right tackle, but he has yet to show the consistency at blocking players like Philadelphia's Reggie White or Washington's Charles Mann. Moving Riesenberg back at this point gives him two preseason games against the Jets and Steelers to acclimate himself to his former position. "I just feel more confident in Riesenberg preparing to play at right tackle," Handley said.

"It's an easier switch, and it gives everyone sufficient time to open the season. I was pleased with the progress they all made with the switches." ately. And then the change would come with the concurrence of offensive line coach Fred Hoag- season finale last year and watched as Griham started both Chiefs' playoff gines.

Rookie linebcker Erick Anderson suffered a spraiiEd right ankle, defensive back Benne Thompson got a mild concussion, light end Todd Young a knee strainand cornerback Tauhan Lewis a righ hip pointer.

NFC A1ANTA FALCONS Offensive linemin Bill Fralic agreed Sunday to a ont-year contract.

"Less than 24 hours. I'd have to sit down with Fred after that. I'm not sure what I'd do. I'd probably put him in a battle for a guard position. "I'm assuming it isn't going to happen," he said, adding that as ST.

Browning Nagle passed for two first-half touchdowns one a 70-yarder to Rob Carpenter and set up a third as New York stayed perfect in the preseason by beating Green Bay. The Jets improved to 3-0 in the penalty-filled game at the University of Wisconsin's Camp Randall Stadium by scoring three second-quarter touchdowns and shutting down the Packers (1-1). Nagle, who completed only 2-of-11 passes last week against the Redskins, hit 9-of-16 for 208 yards in his one half of play.

In a span of 3:36, he hit Terance Mathis with a 7-yard touchdown pass and Carpenter with the 70-yarder that made it 17-7 with 7:19 left in the half. "It's important for any quarterback to stay focused and not get frustrated when things go bad, and fortunately I was able to do that today," Nagle said.

"They're both playing a lot and that will continue." Shula is following a method he used in acclimating offensive linemen Richmond Webb and Keith Sims to the NFL in 1990. Webb played all but four downs of that preseason and Sims played all but eight downs. Webb went on to the Pro Bowl and has maintained that level of excellence.

Sims has been a capable starter despite being injured for part of each season. Unwanted alternatives There is little doubt Shula wants Coleman and Vincent to minimize their mistakes before the Sept. 6 season opener against New England because alternatives are scary. If Coleman can't maintain the level of play he displayed Saturday, the Dolphins must hope David Griggs signs and is in good enough shape to contribute because E.J. Junior is 32 and not good enough to start.

If Vincent busts, the Dolphins will have to resort to starting Chris Green or Vestee Jackson. "Green is a solid inickel-type cornerback but Ultirrately, the success Vincent and Colenan enjoy will translate to success tor teammates. Thert will be Sundays when Coleman isn't able to get three sacks. He will have days he goes to the showars having been shut out. But if it takes two blockers to make things tlat way, then perhaps it will benefit Jeff Cross on the other side of the line or Alfred Oglesby coming ip the middle.

And ihere will be days Vincent won't beclose to making two interceptions Maybe that's because after awhi teams won't be picking on him or his area, just like it happenel at Wisconsin. Surely when that happens, the Dolphins will trust Vincent to cover the opposition's best receiver one-on-one all o'er the field, thus eliminating a kej weapon. "There are endless possibilities for what might happen," defense coach Tom Olivadotti said earlier during training camp in talking of ways to use the two top draft picks. "First ws have to determine if these guys can play." After the glimpse the two provided Saturday, it's obvious that question is answered. not starter material.

Denver receivers simply used him during the two days the teams practiced together. Jackson, who signed a contract Aug. 16, the day the Dolphins left Miami for the trip, was burned (badly) on a 39-yard touchdown pass from Maddox to Cedric Tillman in the fourth quarter. For perspective, understand that Jackson was a starter for Miami last season; that Tillman is a fourth-string receiver; and that Maddox was throwing passes for UCLA last season. Following the testing of Jackson, the Broncos figured they would victimize Vincent with a similar pattern, but didn't count on the rookie having good coverage on Arthur Marshall.

"They had just beat Vestee and wanted to try to get another quick score but Troy was there to make the play," Shula said.
