The lead does give you a margin for error." Stan Javier hit a two-run triple as Oakland scored four times in the third and drove out Brewers starter Mike Birkbeck, 0-3. Birkbeck just can't find what he needs to get a victory, even though he's had eight starts. "I don't know if it's mechanics but I'm still looking for that first win.

It's difficult, I'm not saying it's not. No excuse. I just didn't get the job done," Birkbeck said after surrendering five runs and six hits in just 2 2-3 innings. r'He didn't have it tonight. He didn't get his curve over and he just got hit good," said Milwaukee manager Tom Trebelhorn.

"He has good starting stuff and he should with his stuff have innings where he takes control." But that's mostly what Moore did Wednesday night. Oakland had its 5-0 lead when Milwaukee's when Rob Deer hit his second homer in as many games and fifth of the season against the Athletics. The two-run homer in the fourth was Deer's 12th of the season, tying him for the American League lead. "Deer is in a groove. He has By RICK GANO AP Sports Writer MILWAUKEE (AP) With Mike Moore pitching, the Oakland Athletics scored as many runs in three innings against the Milwaukee Brewers as they had in all three of Moore's losses this season.

For Moore and the Athletics, that was a treat that led to a victory. "He's a power pitcher. Nothing fancy. The nicest thing as hitters is that we got him some runs finally," said catcher Terry Steinbach, who had three of the Athletics' 13 hits in a 6-2 victory over the Brewers. "It felt really good to catch him with a three- or four-run lead.

He can pitch his game and not worry about giving up one run and getting beat." Moore, 5-3 with a 1.96 ERA, has held American League batters to a .164 average in his 10 starts this season. In his three losses, the Athletics have scored only five runs. That's how many they had through three innings Wednesday night.

The Cardi- just before the pickoff attempt from Fond du day's WIAA Class A Regional Tournament nals eliminated Waupun 13-6. Lac pitcher Ottis Smith reaches first By GARY CLAUSIUS Reporter Staff Writer WAUPUN The role of a designated hitter is to get on base and Tuesday afternoon Fond du Lac DH Ken Olig played his part to perfection. Olig went 2-for-2 with a home run and a double off the fence, and reached on two other shots that resulted in errors to lead the Cardinals to a 13-6 victory over Waupun at Schlieve Field for a Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Class A regional championship and a berth in the Watertown Sectional semifinals. The Cardinals will play in Watertown Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. against Delavan-Darien a 26-4 victor over Milton.

Beaver Dam, which edged Hartford 2-0, faces Oconomowoc a 6-2 winner over Watertown in the semifinal. The Cardinals pounded out five extra-base hits, with shortstop Mike Kaska collecting two doubles in a 3-for-4 day and catcher Chip Paulsen slugging a home run during a 2-for-3 outing. Center fielder Joe Roehl went 2-for-2 with a base-on-error, sacrifice bunt and three runs and junior first baseman Jamie Ramminger also collected two hits to help propel Fond du Lac to a 12-8 hitting advantage over the stubborn Warriors. Ottis Smith earned his seventh win of the season with six strikeouts before yielding to releiver Tim DeMaster midway through the seventh inning to keep No. 2-rated Fond du Lac the only unbeaten Class A team in the state with a 17-0 mark.

Top-ranked Kenosha Tremper (14-3) fell 4-3 to Kenosha Bradford Tuesday in regional play. "We've got above a .345 team (batting) average and we hit up and down the lineup," observed Fond du Lac Coach Marty Paulsen after the victory. "We've got basically everybody hitting .300 and higher. We work on hitting a Lomira keeps PARDEEVILLE When Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament play began last week Lomira baseball Coach Pete Drexler stressed to his players that it was a new season for the team. The Lions, who finished in the bottom half of the Flyway Conference after claiming the league title last season, headed his words and won their third straight tournament game a 13-7 triumph over Pardeeville to claim its first Class Regional championship in more than 10 years.

It was Lomira 's sixth win in eight games and improved the team to a 9-10 overall record. "You know when you get into the tournament that you always have a chance," Drexler said, i could see us starting to play better a couple of weeks ago, but you never know if it's all going to come together at the right time." On Wednesday, it did. Lomira scored three runs in each of the first two innings and followed with at least one in each succeeding inning while winning pitcher Tom Cole held Pardeeville scoreless over the final three innings to earn the victory and end the Bulldogs season at 12-5. "Cole settled down a little bit and started getting his breaking ball over. He gave up just one hit in those last three innings," Drexler said.

Troy Rademann slugged two doubles for the Lions and teammates Pat Wiesner, Matt Mischo, Scott Langenecker, Shane Bauer and freshman Paul Unferth also had two hits. Mischo and Wiesner hit solo J. i Waupun never laved down, however, and cut the Cardinal lead to 9-3 before Olig's double put the Same out of reach. Canniff and Jeff laane started off the sixth inning with singles and Jeff Woiahn who went 3-for-4 doubled to score pinch runners Eric Tenpas and Mike Holz. Wojahn eventually scored on an error.

I felt real comfortable up there relaxed. Coach Paulsen told me to relax and keep it easy." He did, keying a four-run sixth inning with a two-run double off Steve Schumacher that hit high on the left field fence.

"He struck out 11, so he did a good Job pitching," Horicon Coach Richard Tennie said of Hooper.

"He's one of their better ones." The losing Marshmen were also hurt by poor fielding. Horicon committed eight errors which led to five unearned runs. The loss ended Horicon's season at 1-14.

The Cardinals who were designated the home team although the game was hosted by Waupun wasted little time in showing the Warriors iust how much it pays off. Kaska belted a one-out double in the bottom of the first inning and Paulsen followed with a towering shot that cleared the 330-foot left field fence by some 20 feet.

The stunned Warriors then committed three consecutive er rolling along home runs in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively. "We moved Paul up from the jayvees when Shane Bauer went out for a couple of games due to an illness and he has responded well," Drexler said of Unferth.
