Page 6, Sitka Daily Sentinel, Sitka, Alaska, Tuesday, October 2,1990 Sentine Red Sox Poised to Win AL East Title Seahawks Capture First Win of Year SEATTLE (AP) The Seattle Seahawks finally have a victory. "We definitely needed that one," defensive star Rufus Porter said. "It was no fun being all alone in last place." The Seahawks became the last of the NFL's 28 teams to win a game this season, and they did it in impressive fashion Monday night Their defense didn't give up a touchdown in a 31-16 victory over Boomer Esiason and the Cincinnati Bengals. On a night when Porter sacked Esiason twice and broke up three passes, Dave Krieg completed 17 of 24 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns, Derrick Fenner scored three TDs and Tommy Kane teamed up with Krieg on a 63-yard scoring pass. "It's been a tough, hard struggle to get that first win," Seahawks Coach Chuck Knox said.

"For the last two weeks, we've been playing well enough to win," John L. Williams said. "Now I hope we can win the rest of our ball games." If the Seahawks (1-3) play as well as they did against the Bengals, they could. Cincinnati (3-1) started a string of five consecutive road games with a lackluster performance. But Porter and the Seahawks' defense had something to do wilh that.

"Their pass rush was just tremendous," Esiason said. The Seahawks think they could be 3-1. They played well in losing in Weeks 2 and 3 to the Los Angeles Raiders in Seattle and in overtime in Denver. Until the fourth quarter Monday night, the Bengals had to rely on Jim Breech's foot for their points on three field goals. Then, in the final period, Mitchell Price ran back a punt 66 yards for a Cincinnati touchdown to cut Seattle's lead to 24-16 with 9:49 left In the game, the Bengals were called for two five-yard delay-of- game penalties- because Esiason couldn't get the snap count off in the required 45 seconds.

The Kingdome crowd of of 60,135 was that noisy. "There obviously is no crowd noise rule," Cincinnati Coach Sam Wyche said sarcastically. "I think we put that one to rest" Under the NFL's crowd rule noise rule, referee Jerry Seeman could have stopped the game until the crowd quieted. He didn't Porter, a two-time Pro Bowler as a special teams player, is in his first full season as a starting outside linebacker. He rattled Esiason, especially in the third quarter, when he sacked him once and battled down two passes.

In that sequence, Porter grabbed Esiason and threw him to the Astro- Turf, drawing a personal foul. Esiason got up swinging. "I got real pumped up after that," Porter said. Norm Johnson, who missed field goal attempts of 39 and 44 yards in a 34-31 overtime loss in Denver in Seattle's previous game, set the tone Monday night by kicking a 51-yard field goal in the opening quarter. Seattle led 10-6 at the half as Fenner ran four yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and Breech kicked field goals of 34 and 26 yards.

The Seahawks made it 17-9 in the third period as Fenner ran three yards for a touchdown and Breech added a 43- yard field goal. The Seahawks broke the game open on the first play of the fourth quarter, however. Krieg, regarded as a possession quarterback, teamed with Kane on the 63-yard touchdown pass, giving the Seahawks a 24-9 lead. The Seahawks wrapped up the game by going 80 yards in 11 plays in 5:59 for their fourth touchdown, a 2- yard pass from Krieg to Fenner. Fenner, who leads the NFL with six touchdowns, refuses to lake credit for his success.

"It's kind of easy to get in there when you have the holes," Fenner said. "When the holes are there, it's easy to score 5 By The Associated Press In a lot of ways, Dwight Evans is what the Boston Red Sox are all about. Evans has been with the Red Sox since 1972. He has played in two World Series and his team lost them both in seven games. He was around in 1978 when Boston blew a lead of 14 1-2 games to the Yankees in July and lost in a one-game playoff on Bucky Dent's three-run homer at Fenway Park.

But Evans is back again, one victory away from being on the American League East champions. Boston clinched a tie for the East title Monday night as Evans snapped an eighth-inning tie with a run-scoring single to give the Red Sox a 4-3 victory' over Chicago. The win moved the Red Sox two games ahead of Toronto with two games left for each team. The Blue Jays lost to Baltimore 6-3 and will be eliminated tonight if the Red Sox win or they lose. The Red Sox, with Evans, also won the AL East in 1988, but have not won a World Series title since 1918, when a fellow named Babe Ruth helped them to it.

"This is great, just a great feeling," Evans, 38, said. "But we still need to win one more." After the White Sox rallied for three runs in the top of the eighth off Dana Kiecker and Larry Andersen, Boston came right back. Reliever Ken Patterson walked Wade Boggs to start the eighth. Barry Jones (11-4) relieved and was greeted by Ellis Burks with a single off the left field wall. Boggs, however, was thrown out at third by Ivan Calderon, with Burks taking second on the throw.

Mike Greenwell was walked inten- tionally and Evans followed with his third hit of the game, a ground single to center. Jeff Reardon (5-3) got the victory by bailing out Andersen in the eighth. Orioles 6, Blue Jays 3 Toronto moved within one game of elimination in the East as Baltimore beat ihe visiting Blue Jays behind the strong pitching of rookie Jose Mesa. Mesa (3-2) gave up four hits and three runs in 7 2-3 innings. Kevin Hickey got one out and Gregg Olson finished for his 37lh save.

Baltimore trailed 3-1 in the sixth before rallying for three runs against David Wells (11-6). Tigers 2, Yankees 0 Rookie Travis Fryman, not Cecil Fielder, homered for Detroit and Frank Tanana pitched three-hit ball for 7 1-3 innings. Fielder went O-for-4 and stayed stuck at 49 home runs. He struck out three times, increasing his major league-leading total to 179, and grounded weakly to the mound. He has gone 16 at-bats without a home run and has just two games left in his bid to become the first player to hit 50 since George Foster in 1977, and the first American Leaguer to reach the mark since Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle in 1961.

Angels 2, Athletics 0 California rookie Joe Grahe gave up three hits in 8 1 -3 innings to beat Dave Stewart. Grahe (3-4) walked seven but pitched out of jams in the second and sixth innings. Bryan Harvey got the last two outs for his 25th save. Stewart (22-11) yielded two runs on 11 hits. Twins 7, Mariners 5 Rookie Scott Leius had a two-run double in a five-run second inning.

Kevin Tapani (12-8) won for the fust time since July 30 despite giving up four runs on 10 hits in six-plus innings. Rangers 4, Brewers 2 Ruben Sierra's eighth-inning grounder drove in the go-ahead run as visiting Texas overcame sloppy fielding. Julio Franco walked and Rafael Palmeiro singled him to third with one out in the eighth off Ron Robinson (12-5). But when Sierra hit a hard grounder to first baseman Rob Deer, who started the game in the outfield. Deer stepped on the bag and did not attempt a play at second or the plate as Franco scored.

National League Clubs Battling for Second By The AssociatedPress Just because it's over doesn't mean it's ALL over. The National league division titles have been decided but "if you can't get first (place), you want second," San Francisco's Kevin Bass said after the Giants lost to Atlanta 5-3 Monday night and fell into third place in the ML West, one game behind Los Angeles, which beat San Diego 2-1. "Sure you do (watch the scoreboard)," Giants Manager Roger Craig conceded. "We're trying to get into second place. We've got to win the next two games and hope they (the Dodgers) lose." "Of course I was watching what was happening to L.A.," added Giants catcher Gary Carter, who appeared as a pinch hitter.

"I didn't have anything else to do in the bullpen except watch the scoreboard." Elsewhere, it was New York 4, Pittsburgh Cincinnati 4, Houston Philadelphia 7, Chicago Montreal 15, St. Louis 9. Dodgers 2, Padres 1 Ramon Martinez capped his first full season in the major leagues with his 20th victory and Eddie Murray singled home the winning run in the ninth inning. In becoming the second- youngest 20-game winner in Dodgers history behind Ralph Branca (1947), Martinez (20-6) recorded his major league-leading 12th complete game with a five-hitter. Chris Gwynn started the ninth with the sixth hit off Andy Benes (10-11) and look second when center fielder Joe Carter fumbled the ball.

Murray then grounded a 1-1 pitch out of the reach of first baseman Phil Stephenson to score pinch-runner Jose Offerman. The Dodgers tied it in the eighth inning when Juan Samuel led off with his 13th home run. Mike Pagliarulo gave San Diego a 1-0 lead in the fifth with his sixth home run. Braves 5, Giants 3 Francisco Cabrera hit a three-run homer and John Smoltz broke a personal four-game losing streak against San Francisco- Smoltz (14-11) was 0-4 with an 8.00 ERA in his other four starts against San Francisco. He yielded three hif: in seven innings, including a home run by Ernest Riles.

Ron Gant opened the Atlanta fourth with a single off loser Trevor Wilson (8-7) and Dave Justice walked. After Jim Presley struck out, Cabrera hit his seventh homer for a 3-1 lead. Jeff Blauser's RBI single in the sixth made it 4-1 and Jeff Tread way hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth for Atlanta's final run. Mets 4, Pirates I David Cone pitched a three-hitter, struck out 12 and hit two run-scoring singles. Cone (1410) improved his career record against the NL East champion Pirates to 6-0 and leads the league with 233 strikeouts.

Pittsburgh's run was unearned. The second-place Mets, who were eliminated from the race on Sunday when the Pirates beat SL Louis, scored two unearned runs in the fifth against Zane Smith (12-9). Cone singled home the second one and hit another RBI single off Ted Power in the ninth. Reds 4, Astros 3 The West champion Reds won when Ron Oester scored from second on Houston shortstop Rafael Ramirez's throwing error in the bottom of the ninth. Brian Meyer (0-4) walked Oester to start the ninth.

With those words, the Cincinnati Bengals' coach closed the door on a woman reporter and opened another sexist furor in the sports world. The object of Wyche's ultimatum was Denise Tom of USA Today, who was barred from the Cincinnati locker room following the Bengals' 31-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks Monday nighL Tom said a security guard blocked her way into the room, saying, "This is a very sensitive time. I don't make the rules." In an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer, Wyche admitted barring the woman from the locker room because "our guys don't want a woman to walk into a situation like that" "I am not doing that to these guys," Wyche told Enquirer reporter Tim Smith. "I'm not doing it to their wives. I'll be out of this business before I do that." Wyche said he extended every courtesy possible to Tom, even to the point of asking quarterback Boomer Esiason to come out of the locker room to do an interview with her.

Esiason complied. Smith said Wyche was told that a woman had been in the Bengals' locker room last week. "I wasn't aware of that," Wyche said. The incident follows the heated controversy surrounding the New England Patriots and reporter Lisa Olson of the Boston Herald. Olson claims she was sexually harassed by several Patriot players while she was conducting an interview on Sept 17.

On Monday, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue appointed Harvard law professor Philip Heymann to investigate the woman's charges. Tagliabue, who was at Monday night's game, had met with reporters including Tom and repeated his earlier statement that the NFL's policy is to give women reporters the same access as men. A spokesman for USA Today said the newspaper plans to pursue the matter with the league. "Our intention is to protest what is clearly against the stated league policy," said Gene Policinski, the newspaper's managing editor for sports. "There is a big irony here in that before the game Denise Tom was one of the reporters who sat in with Tagliabue when he reiterated league policy and practice.

"To be faced with this hours later is ridiculous. Denise Tom is a professional who has covered the NFL for six years. She had already been in the Seattle locker room when she went to Cincinnati's and was barred. Sam Wyche was clearly aware of this." x-clinched division title y-clinchcd tie for division title Monday's Games Detroit 2, New York 0 Boston 4, Chicago 3 Baltimore 6, Toronto 3 Minnesota 7, Seattle 5 Texas 4, Milwaukee 2 California 2, Oakland 0 Tuesday's Games Detroit (Nosek 1-1) at New York (Leiler 11), 7:30 p.m. Chicago (Perez 13-14) at Boston (Bolton 10-5), 7:35 p.m.

The Celtics announced Monday that Johnson will not return to the team for the upcoming season. Johnson, who played seven years for the Celtics, met with team officials over the weekend.

They decided not to renew his contract, which expired at the end of last season "This was such a difficult decision to make, considering the stature of i Johnson," said Coach Chris Ford. "I consider him to be the con; summate professional and a fine ex: ample for present and future Boston Celtics." With the return of Brian Shaw after a year in Italy, first-round draft pick Dec Brown and Reggie Lewis, Kevin Gamble and John Bagley, the Celtics have a young corps of guards to rely on during the coming season. The 36-year-old Johnson said in a statement that he would pursue offers from other teams. He said the Celtics officials "presented this to me in the best possible way. They were up front, honest and professional with me, and gave me more consideration that I could ever imagine." "My years in Boston have been great ones, and I'll always remember them," Johnson said.
