"And he was throwing strikes, tie kept the ball down the whole game and got them to hit the ball on the ground, lie did great job," Pilots' Pitching Coach Mark Rose, who explained to Adachi that he had to keep his pitches down around the hitters knees, was equally impressed. "He did two things that impressed me," Rose said. "One, he threw strikes and two, he seemed to just get better as the game went on." Adachi relied on his fastball, curve and slider but he had plenty of help from his teammates, who for the second consecutive game did not commit an error. Also, for the second straight game, the Pilots were able to put together an offensive attack, getting hits in each of the first six innings. Already ahead 1-0, the Pilots crossed the plate twice off Prince William starter Andy Cook (1-6) in the third.

It was his fint time pitihing on American toil and he juit wanted lo show hia teammates what could da. So ho took the ball, valiantly strutted to th pitcher'! mound against tht Prince William Can-nuns Thursday night, and pro reeded to pitch six innings of no-hit ball as the Peninsula Pilots stifled the Cannons 54.

"I was not nervous, I was very relaxed." Adachi said through In terpretor Kiyoaki Ohashl. The strike zone (in America) is different than in Japan. I just try to throw the ball low." Adachi (1-0) left the game due to an 80-pitch limit (he threw a total of 76 pitches) and was relieved by Todd Stephan in the seventh. Stephan held the Cannons in check before giving up an opposite-field, one-out single to Mauricio Zazueta in the ninth the only offense the Cannons could muster. Early on, Adachi was hit hard as the Cannons took his fastball to the warning track on four different occasions in the first four innings.

But each time, Adachi came right back to quell the Canndns. He peaked in the fifth inning when he struck out the side.

Then Darren Reed's two out, bases-loaded fly to deep left cen-terfield later in the inning was caught by Marty Brown at the base of the outfield wall. "I wanted to hold McKnight up after he stumbled," said Tides' base coach Rich Miller. "But he didn't look at me.

He just thought he should have kept going. But he admitted later that he should have held up. "I know Snider from last has a cannon for an arm. You probably won't find anybody Staff Writer NORFOLK The real Dave West has returned to the Tidewater Tides. After losing two straight outings and seeing his earned run average nearly double in the process, West suddenly regained the form which has made him the hottest property in the International League this year.

Thursday night West was his old crafty self, limiting the Nashville Sounds to six hits in a masterful nine inning performance. Unfortunately, West was solved for a solo homer by Tito Landrum in the 10th inning and absorbed a 2-1 setback at Met Park. "He pitched a heck of a really into it." West, who saw his record dip to 5-3, walked just one batter and fanned four. He allowed one hit over the first six innings. Nashville threatened in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.

Each time West shut the door. But the Tides were unable to bail West out with any clutch hitting. They had 12 hits, all single's, but couldn't score until the seventh when Phil Lombardi singled home West with the Tides' lone run.

"It's certainly up to their side if they want to be bring witnesses," Vincent said Wednesday. "If they want to, it's certainly allowed. It's going to be a fair hearing." Baseball's rules of procedure state that anyone under investigation "shall be entitled to appear and be heard in person, to present witnesses, to cross examine witnesses and to be represented by an attorney." Giamatti has the power to order anyone connected with baseball to appear, however, several of Rose's chief accusers have no baseball connections And two ol fhem are incarcerated. Michael E.
