The Montana Standard, Butte, Monday, July 9, 1990 Li Brewers' rout. 9 Standard New welterweight king 10 Pro golf roundup 10 Soccer finale 9 run 'Chickeh' I vi-tli if By Bruce Sayler Standard Sport Writer "It was Tyrone's best performance of the year," Stelitz said, "better even than his five-inning no-hitter (which came in his first start of the year). "Tonight, he threw his little slider for the first time and I think 'The Worm' is swinging a really good bat right now," Butte Manager Bump Wills said. "He's doing an outstanding job with the bat and with the glove. He blocked some pitches in the dirt, threw out a couple of baserunners and called a game." I fv f- Chicken schtick was made into chicken salad and the turn of "The Worm" was to Butte's favor as the Copper Kings outlasted the GreajL alls Dodgers 8-6 in a Pioneer League baseball game Sunday night at Alumni Coliseum.

A crowd of 3,679 spectators spilled into Jhe football bleachers beyond the outfield from the baseball facility to see the matchup of the league's division leaders and, of course, to laugh at the antics of "The Famous Chicken." The turnout exceeded the previous Copper Kings single-night attendance record of 3,424 set July 28 of last year during another performance by "The Famous Chicken" at a Great Falls-Butte contest. Todd "The Worm" Guggiana went three-for-f our at the plate, following a four-for-five effort in Saturday's 9-4 Copper Kings win over the Dodgers, to pace Butte's 14-hit 'attack that helped overcome the team's five fielding errors. It GREAT FALLS' Ron Maurer is out on force play at second, though ball drops from Copper Kings shortstop Jon Shave's glove. Shave lost the ball while setting to throw to first. The ruling was that he had it long enough to make the force.

Butte netters begin week-long tourney THROW TO BUTTE first baseman Brian Mouton barely nips Great Falls Dodger Garey Ingram during first-inning action in Copper Kings' 8-6 Pioneer League baseball, win over the Dodgers Sunday night at Alumni Coliseum before a record 3,679 spectators. with still none out and chased Hamilton. Left-hander Jason Kerr came on in relief and got Matachun to bounce into a fielder's choice that erased Guggiana at second, but scored Posey.

Maurer booted a Matos grounder for his second error of the inning and Mouton came home with Butte's third run of the inning. The Copper Kings put up necessary insurance runs in the sixth and eighth innings. Mouton's two-out single drove home Greer, who had walked and gone to third on an error, in the sixth. And, in the eighth, Greer doubled to center off reliever Dan Pietor-wicz with one out, went to third on Brian Mercado's base hit and home on a wild pitch. "It was a good win for us," Wills said.

"We have gotta believe, though, that the Dodgers are a very good team and we have to be ready again for them tomorrow (Monday) night. "But, I'm happy with the way we're playing. This is the way our team can play ball." The teams end their series with a Monday night at 7 at Alumni Coliseum that marks the last appearance in the regular season for the Dodgers in Butte. It also ends Butte's seven-game homestand. The Pioneer League will take Tuesday off, then the Cppper Kings leave Wednesday for a seven-game road trip to Great Falls and Medicine Hat.

Butte's starting pitcher Monday night will be Rod Busha while the Dodgers will counter with Roh Wal-den, this year's No. 1 draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers, parent club of the Great Falls team.

felt kind of different going onto the court than at last year's final." pecker, taller and thicker in the chest and legs than the 6-foot-2, 170-pound Edberg, smacked the ball with little control while Edberg glided easily on the court and stung him with deft volleys and deep serves. The second set was almost a duplicate of the first, Edberg again breaking in the third and fifth games and holding serve. Becker stared into the distance as if distracted and befuddled as he sat during changeovers. He screamed at himself, trying to get himself pumped, after netting a return at the start of the fourth game. A soft, half-volley drop shot by Edberg that Becker couldn't reach on the next point made him literally hopping mad as he jumped up and down yelling at himself.

When Edberg clinched the second set with his second ace and a service winner, the rather tedious match seemed destined to wind down to a dull ending. Suddenly, though, a little wind kicked up and a fire seemed to light in Becker as he broke Edberg's first service in the third set. Becker roared through the next game at love and held service the rest of the set, looking confident on his approaches and more solid in his volleys. When Becker took the fourth set and broke to take a 3-1 lead in the fifth, he seemed ready to become the first Wimbledon finalist to win from two sets down since Henri Co-chetin 1927. But Becker weakened again, double-faulting on the first point and hitting into the net and wide on the final two points.

Edberg showed poise as he held the next two service games, then broke again with an array of brilliant shots. Edberg drove a backhand return to Becker's feet on the first point, and Becker could barely get his racket on it. tBtoe Jt made him a better pitchenlL Washington allowed six hits, three walks and struck out two. He was touched for three runs, but only one was earned. The earned run he gave up was the only one charged against any of Butte's four pitchers.

Tim Wells fol-. lowed Washington and two relievers to the mound to douse a Great Falls rally in the eighth, stave the Dodgers off in the ninth and post his league-leading fourth save. At 3-0, Washington ties teammate Jose Cardona as the league's win leaders. Butte didn't take a lead in the contest until putting together a three-run fifth inning. The Dodgers had gone ahead 2-0 on Eric Blackwell's sacrifice fly that scored Burgess Watts in the second inning and Tim Griffin's bases-loaded groundout in the third that brought home Dan Andrews.

Butte got a run back in the third as league batting leader Shannon Penn singled, stole second and went to third and home on consecutive groundouts by Jon Shave and Rusty Greer. Great Falls widened its margin to 3-1 in the fourth as Watts tripled off of the left-center field wall and came home one out later on Dan Cray's single up the middle. The Copper Kings rallied to tie" the score in their half of the inning. Guggiana stretched a base hit to left-center into a double with good baserunning to start the rally. Groundouts by Paul Matachun and Malvin Matoslook Guggiana all the way home.

David Hulse then drew a walk and got all the way to third base when an errant pickoff attempt by Dodgers starter Ken Hamilton, 1-1, sailed into the right-field bullpen. Penn dropped a double into short right field just behind first base to plate Hulse with the tying run. Then came Butte's outburst in the fifth. Greer beat out an infield hit. Posey then hit a bouncer to.

Great Falls first baseman Mike Bush, who wheeled and threw to shortstop Ron Maurer to start a probable double play. But, Maurer muffed the throw and both baserunners were safe. Brian Mouton 's ensuing single loaded the bases with none out. Guggiana knocked in Greer with a base hit to right-center for the go-ahead that also kept the bags full Edberg won the coin toss and boldly elected to receive, testing Becker's strength from the start two days after Becker had to rally from a set down to beat hard-hitting 18-year-old Goran Ivanisevic. Becker won the first game but looked sluggish, a half-step late on volleys, as Edberg broke him in the third and fifth games.

"The last six matches paid its toll," said Becker, who also had tough matches against 1987 champion Pat Cash, Dan Goldie and surprising first-round opponent Luis Herrera. "I was slow and tired.

He's seen duty at third, behind the plate and in left field for the Copper Kings.

"He was a catcher in junior college and we saw him as a utility player for us," pitching coach Len Strelitz, who scouted and signed Guggiana, said. "He's a good catcher. As long as he's hitting like he is, we'll find a place to play him." He's been a catcher mostly this season because of injuries to-Butte's two top catchers Greg Bievins and Marty Posey. Right-hander Tyrone Washington turned in the longest pitching stint, six innings-plus, of the season so far and earned passing grades from Strelitz. I'm 1 PI Eiolds s.

Edberg sailed smoothly through the first two sets, but had to withstand all of Becker's fury in the third and fourth sets before reclaiming control in the end. Becker never rose to the level of his play when he won in 1985, '86 and '89, and he seemed to have trouble keeping his balance on the slippery, beige turf on the worn Centre Court. So often did he slide that he could have used some skating lessons from German compatriot Katerina Witt, who watched the match from the players guest box.

Edberg 's killer lob from behind the baseline, as silent and deadly as a knife in the ribs, left Becker broken and stunned and doomed to defeat near the end of their third straight duel for the championship.

After three hours of tennis that bounced from boring to brilliant, Edberg's one deft shot gave him his second Wimbledon title with a 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 3-6, 6-4 triumph Sunday over Becker, the three-time champ. "This is as good as the first one," said Edberg, who beat Becker for the title two years ago and remains the only player to defeat him on Centre Court "It is great to go out there and play some really good tennis and then win in a tough fight as it was today." Edberg's back-to-back victories over Ivan Lendl and Becker repeated his feat at the Masters in New York last December and opened up the question again: Who is No. The ATP computer says Lendl, with Edberg now second and Becker falling to third. But Edberg, who pocketed $391,000 for the victory, is gunning for the top spot and could reach it by winning again at the U.S. Open.

"I know the No. 1 spot is within reach now, and that's something to look forward to," said F.dberg, whose highest year-end ranking was No. 2 in 1987 Edberg struggled against Becker far more than Martina Navratilova did Saturday in capturing her ninth Wimbledon singles title and winning $352,000 by beating Zina Garrison 6-4, 6-1. If Navratilova 's triumph blended artistry and emotion, Edberg's was built on talent and guts. A new men's open singles champion will definitely crowned but women's open singles entrants have lined up to challenge defending ti-tlist Lynn Olson as the Butte city tennis tournament begins Monday.

Bob Sheehan, who captured 10 men's open singles championships and was the runner-up three times, has moved out of town and will not be on hand to defend his 1989 crown, Bill Pascoe, tourney director said. So, Dale Giacomino, who took the title in 1981 has been penciled in as the top men's open singles seed and Mark Peterson, runner-up to Sheehan last year, is seeded second. Olson, a member of the Butte High team, won the women's open title for the first time last year. First-round action in the tourney, conducted by the Butte Tennis Association, will begin with junior division events Monday morning and some adult division contests will be played Monday evening. The bulk of the tourney, to be run through the week, will he held at the new Stodden Park courts, but other courts in town will be put to use.

Pascoe said junior division events weren't planned to begin until Tuesday, but because of receiving more entries than expected from the junior age-groups, it was necessary to begin play on Monday. Following is Monday's schedule: Junior Division and under boys' singles at Stodden Park 9 a.m.. Brad Pascoe vs. Clay Chapman; Neal-Driscoll vs. Thad Buurkarl.
