"I missed the one-strike pitch," Brock said. "Usually, every at-bat, there's one Greg Brock pitch you should hit and that was it. A lot of times you're not going to get a second chance. "But it turned out good.

It wasn't pretty, but it turned out nice." Chuck Crim (6-3), the third of four Milwaukee pitchers, worked 1 innings to get the win. Dan Pie-sac pitched the ninth, earning his 16th save. The Brewers have beaten the Twins six straight times. Brock, a 1975 graduate of Stay-ton High, had entered the game in the fourth as a pinch hitter. He fell behind 0-2 before getting enough of his bat on a pitch to loft a fly ball that dropped just inside the left-field line.

Toronto 4, Seattle 3 at Toronto Fred McGriff doubled in the tying run in the bottom of the ninth, and a wild pitch by reliever Mike Schooler with the bases loaded scored the winning run for the Blue Jays.

Seattle's Brian Holman entered the ninth inning with a three-hitter, but was relieved by Schooler (1-1) when Kelly Gruber led off with a single. New York 8-6, Texas 3-1 at New York Jimmy Jones pitched well in the rain and Andy Hawkins pitched great in clear weather as the Yankees swept the Rangers in a rain-lengthened double-header.

Bryn Smith (7-2) allowed five runs and nine hits in eight-plus innings as Montreal took a half game lead over the Cubs. Tim Burke got the last three outs for his 14th save, after Smith allowed lead-off singles in the ninth.

Brooks doubled home two runs and scored on Mike Fitzgerald's single as Montreal scored three runs in the first inning off Paul Kilgus (5-6.) Houston 3, San Diego 1 at San Diego Bill Doran and Glenn Davis homered for the Astros, and Jim Clancy (5-4) allowed five hits and no runs in 6 innings for his fourth straight win. Clancy opened the seventh by walking Rob Nelson for the third time, and left after giving up a two-out pinch-hit single to Carmelo Martinez. Reliever Larry Andersen got Shawn Abner to THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF PRICE, POWER AND PERFORMANCE. Powerful 21.2 cc two-cycle engine summer is an exaggeration, but only a slight one. Coach Steve Hendrickson said: "This summer, Ric's going to have to carry the bulk of the load on the hill.

He's 1 I 9 A Ma M. ill Ric Anderson going to pitch about every league game he's available." Anderson, 18, is looking forward to the challenge. "I'll get a lot more playing time this summer," he said. "I'm one of the top pitchers on the staff." Anderson (1-1) got off to a good start, throwing a 5-0 shutout June 10 against Dr. Stewart's of Rose-burg.

Anderson struck out nine and allowed two hits. "I pretty much kept them off balance," he said. "And I was mixing up my pitches well. "I stayed ahead in the count. That's what I have to do this summer." Getting behind in the count cost Anderson on Thursday in Cooke's 4-2 loss to the Salem-Keizer 76ers.

All four of the 76ers' RBI came when Anderson fell behind hitters. Anderson also had problems staying ahead of the count during the spring season, when he played for Hendrickson's Chemeketa Community College team. Anderson was 2-3 in 30 innings and wasn't satisfied with his performance. "I had a bad year," he said. "I was pretty erratic.

I could have been more consistent." Part of the problem was that Anderson tried to change his delivery, from overhand to sidearm. The experiment didn't work, so the 6-foot-3, 180-pounder is back throwing over the top. Anderson, a South Salem graduate, has shown steady improvement the past three years. He didn't play much on varsity his junior year in high school, and finished his senior season with a 4-2 record. Anderson said he's undecided about what four-year college he'll attend, but said he'd like to play for a school that offers an engineering or pre-engineering program.

Until he makes that decision, he'll try to engineer Cooke Stationary into the state playoffs. Hendrickson said: "Without him we'd be a decent team. If we can come up with some other starters behind Ric, we should have a pretty good season."

"It's a minor first-degree sprain," Garcia said. "He will be out four games tops. I was very encouraged with the way it looked after we iced him." Gary Forrester, who replaced Perez at shortstop, came up with a key hit for the Dodgers in the seventh inning. Leading 2-0, Salem had loaded the bases with consecutive singles by Garrett Beard, Jesus Gonzalez and Carroll. Forrester drove an 0-1 pitch for a double in the gap between left and center field to clear the bases.

"I was just trying to make contact," Forrester said. "It was my first hit as a Dodger, so it was pretty exciting. They had brought in the lefthander, and he just got the ball up on a change." 0301 comeshaSp products' Colors mileage vary, hurry for 1st choice!

COPY OFFICE PRODUCTS SHARP, By Capi Lynn The Statesman Journal EUGENE The Eugene Emeralds' crowd of 7,157 a Northwest League record for opening night had the potential to affect the Salem Dodgers on Friday, but it didn't seem to phase them in their 10-1 victory.

Rightfielder Don Carroll had to contend with the fans at closer range than his teammates when Eugene's overflowing crowd was dispersed to a roped-off area along the right-field warning track that extended to center field. "I thought it would be bad at first, but they didn't say a word," Carroll said. "In fact, they were even complimenting me. At the beginning, I thought they were going to be all over me, and I didn't know what would happen if the ball got there." Carroll didn't have to deal Also in sports HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CAMP The first Wolf Team Camp, a high school football camp designed for players and their coaches, will be offered August 6-11 at Western Oregon State College.
