gfe Arizona Bails Star Tucson, Sunday, June 2, 1985 Page One 1 MI 'j h-y- -4' JL stt uyy-, yy- By Jack'Magruder Th Arizona Daily Star OMAHA, Neb. Bill Bates is listed in the Texas press guide as a left-handed batter. And never mind that he was a switch-hitter last summer. He batted lef thanded this season, he said, because "Coach Gus (Cliff Gustafson) didn't think I could help the team right-handed." Perhaps that should be reconsidered, Texas 2-1 victory over the University of Arizona in a first-round game of the 39th College World Series last night. An announced crowd of 14,494 attended at Rosenblatt Stadium.

Bates batted righthanded twice against UA lefthander Joe Magrane, and: walked on four pitches to start a run-producing rally in the seventh that tied the game at doubled in Robbie Byers with the winning run with one out in the eighth. Byers jiad doubled to open the eighth for Texas' second hit. Bates fouled off a suicide-squeeze bunt on an 0-1 pitch before he got his hit. Bates, a junior second baseman, grounded out and struck out in his first two at-bats, both lefthanded, against Magrane. "Usually, against a lefty, I can drag bunt and use my speed," Bates said.

"But I wasn't picking up the spin on his curveball at all. My second time up, he didn't throw me a fastball. I swung at two gliders in the dirt. Coach Gus asked me if I wanted to try, it the other way." Bates said he had batted six or seven times righthanded this season, and his double last night was his second hit from that side. That compares to 737 righthanded at-bats in three previous seasons.

"We were very surprised," UA Coach Jerry Kindall said of Bates' switch. "Joe got that last pitch up. One of his rare mistakes." Th Associated Press Arizona's Dave Shermet (18) slides for a double in the third inning as Texas second baseman Bill Bates, left, waits for a throw from the outfield. The UA took a 1-0 lead in the fourth. Chip Hale led off with a ground single to right, and Mike Senne sacrificed.

Gar Millay doubled down the right-field line with two out, scoring Hale. Magrane did not walk a batter until Dodd Johnson got four straight balls with one out in the fifth. Magrane got himself out of that trouble when he fielded Rusty Richards' one-hopper and started a double play. "He took away about three hits up the middle," Gustafson said of Magrane. The UA had two singles in 'the fifth Chuck Johnson's infield hit and Hinzo's hit See TEXAS BEATS, Page 7E Swindell said, "Once we got a run, I knew it was in our hands.

Once we got another run, I knew it was all over." Swindell missed a Friday practice because of a stomach virus, and said he felt a little ill early. Plus, he said, his curveball did not break properly. "Every hit they got was off a curve," catcher Byers said. "The last three innings I threw one curve," Swindell said. "All the rest were fastballs." Magrane threw 42 pitches in the first four innings.

He retired the first eight batters before Byers singled to right with two out in the third. Magrane, 13-8, and Texas lefthander Greg Swindell, 18-1, pitched an almost matching set of complete games. Magrane gave up four hits, Swindell five. Magrane walked three, Swindell none. Magrane had eight strikeouts, Swindell seven.

Magrane retired the first eight batters, and gave up one hit through seven innings. Swindell retired the final 13 batters, and did not give up a hit after Tommy Hinzo's two-out single in the fifth. "If I had been an outside observer standing back, I would have been thrilled at that pitching," Kindall said. Of course, he wasn't, and it showed. Kindall did not allow Magrane or any other UA player to come to a postgame interview.

"This is a bitter disappointment for the players," Kindall said. "They have less than 24 hours to get over it." The UA, 47-21, will play Stanford, 46-14, in a losers bracket game at 5:10 p.m. Tucson time today. It is to be aired on ESPN and KNST (940-AM). Miami set a CWS single-game home run record with five, when it beat Stanford, 17-3, yesterday.

"I can't say Joe is any less a pitcher or any less of a battler than Swindell," Kindall said. UA women sweep high jump; Oregon earns track crown By John Henry The Arizona Daily Star AUSTIN, Texas Katrena John son led a 1-2-3 sweep for the University of Arizona in the women's high jump at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field to tie the collegiate record. The Wildcats tied for fourth in the women's team scoring, seven points out of first place. Oregon won with 52. Louisiana State and Florida State tied for second with 46.

Arizona and UCLA had 45 each. Johnson, a sophomore, tied the collegiate record set by Louise Rit-ter of Texas Woman's University in 1981. Johnson's jump is the best in the United States this season. And it is Rice's Regina Cavanaugh was the winner at 56-7y2. UA's Carta Garrett, a 17-year-old freshman, was second with a U.S.

junior record of 55-7y4. Junior records are for athletes 18 and younger. She set the record of 54-9 earlier this season. Lorraine Costanzo, a senior, was third at 53-5. The UA shot putters also were two-three at the NCAA indoor meet, but Costanzo was second.

"That was our goal," Harding said of the sweep in the high jump. When the three jumpers cleared 6-3, it became an Arizona event. The last non-Arizona jumper was Northwest Louisiana's Lauri Young, who cleared 6-2. She was the heptathlon champion and had a previous best of 6-V2 in the high jump. Johnson had only one miss at 6-0, until she jumped 6-414.

She missed her first try, then cleared the second. She had the bar raised to 6-5 and missed all three attempts. Johnson said her goal before the meet "was to go 6-5. 1 don't see how I came so close and didn't make it. I did have a PR (personal record) twice; I don't think I can do any more." Her best had been 6-2, earlier this year.

Ewanje-Epee was visibly upset when she didn't clear 6-4y4. She was fourth in the 1984 Olympic Games with a personal best of 6-4. "I don't know why I was so upset. This is early in the season for me," she said. She will return to Paris in five See UA SWEEPS, Page 9E the fifth-best in United States history.

Freshman Maryse Ewanje-Epee, who finished second, and sophomore Camille Harding, who took third on more misses, both cleared 6-3. All three UA jumpers bettered the NCAA meet record of 6-iy2i set by Disa Gisladottir, of Alabama; Wendy Markham, of Florida State; and Johnson in the 1983 meet. Not to be outdone, Arizona's shot putters finished 2-3 to give the UA 14 points there, to go with 24 in the high jump. yesterday.

Now, it's the Boston Celtics' turn. "I think our guys were just disgusted with the way they played the last game," Boston's Larry Bird said as the teams prepared for Game 3 of the best-of-seven series, today at The Forum (Channel 13, 12:30 p.m.). "We Just weren't intense enough, didn't do the things we need to do and know we can do," Bird said of the second game, a 109-102 Lakers victory in Boston on Thursday.

"We just got pushed around a little bit." The series is tied at 1. The Celtics won, 148-114, Monday. The first two games were held in Boston. The series will be here for Game 4 on Wednesday night and Game 5 on Friday night. If neces-sary, the series will return to Boston for Games 6 and 7.
