The Montana Standard, Butte. Saturday, July 28, 19909 IT i msmaJiffiHwiign 'Standard Major leagues 10 Goodwill Games 1 1 Kings cop Mile High boys bow MISSOULA Adam Gollofon of Frenchtown belted, two homers and a double and knocked in four runs LITTLE LEAGUE to power MissouaMt. Jumbo to a 9-6 victory over the Mile High Little League All-Stars of Butte in the Dis- trict 2 major boys' championship baseball game Friday. Mile High, which blanked Ml. Jumbo Thursday night behind the one-hit pitching of Todd Mel-dahl, never led in the six inning contest.

Mt. Jumbo will host the District 1 champion in the best-of-three state championship series next Thursday through Saturday. Missoula Mt. Sentinel won the last two state championships. Matt Nataro's single and Gollo-fon's RBI double helped stake Mt.

Jumbo to a 4-0 lead in the lop of the first inning. Mile High splurged for three runs in the bottom of the first, triggered by Steven Schultz's two-run homer. A two-run homer by Gollofon in the second boosted the Mt. Jumbo lead to High scored a singleton in the bottom of the second to cut the margin to two, 6-4. A solo homer by Golofon and a two-run shot by Rory Chatriand raised the Mt.

Jumbo lead to 9-4 in the fifth. Mile High scored once in the fifth and once in the sixth to make the final score 9-6. Mt. Jumbo pitcher John Liese scattered seven hits, striking out 12 batters and walking three. He got errant defensive support from his teammates, who committed six errors.

Shortstop Fred Krepps hit two singles for Mile High, which also got base raps from Brent Briney, Dan Orizotti, Kelly Lee and Mel-dahl, plus the homer by Schultz. Kiely Carpenter went the distance for Mile High, absorbing the pitching loss. Nataro, also from Frenchtown, socked a double to ignite the three-run fifth. By Bruce Sayler Standard Sport Writer The Butte Copper Kings won half of a Pioneer League baseball dou-bleheader Friday night at Alumni 'Coliseum, but were scrambling for a sweep at press time. Right-hander Chris Gies' complete-game five-hitter carried Butte td a 9-1 victory over the Gate City Pioneers in the front end of the twin bill before a crowd ballooned to 2,694 fans by a "Credit Union Night" promotion.

But, in the nightcap, the two teams were tied 8-8 after the regu- -mi 5 the distance this year. He struck out four batters, walked three and didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning when the Pioneers' Hector Ortega singled cleanly to center field with one out. Ortega was then thrown out trying to steal and Gies whiffed Doug Noce to end the inning. The Copper Kings pitcher lost his shutout bid in the fifth inning when he was tagged for three straight hits by Gate City a leadoff double by Tom Phillips and singles by Santiago and Buck Atwater, the latter one driving in Phillips. Gies was supported by a 14-hit attack, led by Rusty Greer's two-run el Horse Mike Walsh Shave's bid for double v- Vv lation seven innings at press time following Marty Posey's two-run, bases-loaded, two-out single for Butte in the bottom of the seventh.

Gus Santiago's three-run homer highlighted a seven-run third inning for Gate City. A sweep by the Copper Kings would put them in a tie for second place in the Southern Division standings with Salt Lake City, one-half game behind Idaho Falls which took over the division lead Friday night by defeating Salt Lake City 12-4. The complete game was the second of the season for Gies, 4-1, and he is the only Butte pitcher to go 3 Wit fit ------A- 1 fjkfrt Wv9 if 5 1 iz, homer in the fourth inning, Brian Mouton's two-run double that gave Butte a 2-0 second-inning lead and Brian Mercado's double and triple. Chris Emerick, 1-3, took the loss for Gate City and lasted just 2 13 innings, being chased by consecutive singles yielded to David Hulse and Jon Shave that resulted in a Butte run and a 3-0 Pioneers deficit. Butte exploded for five runs in the fourth on five hits a walk and one Gate City error.

Greer's homer, his second of the year, over the right-center field wall with Shave aboard and Mercado's triple were the big blows. Shannon Penn's two-out single followed by Hulse's double off of the left-center field wall plated the Copper Kings' final run of the game, coming in the fifth inning. The second game was delayed 30 minutes by problems with the lights. After Butte starter Steve Dreyer whiffed Pioneers leadoff hitter Tyrone Home, Gate CitylHanager Ed Creech pointed out to homeplate umpire Vincent Price II that the ballparlflights had not yet come on as requested. Action came to a halt for 30 minutes.

Copper Kings publicist Keli Broderick explained that new lights had been installed and a short was responsible for them not coming on. She said an override mechanism in the system, however, let the problem solve itself after a restart. The Copper Kings will play the Helena Brewers in a three-game series Saturday through Monday at Alumni Coliseum. Game time each night is scheduled for 7 o'clock and Butte's starting pitcher Saturday will be left-hander Terry Burrows, 2-2.

Two-day 36 hole competition, 18 holes Saturday by p.m. and 18 holes Sunday Ih Hunting quotas set BILLINGS (AP) The Montana Fish and Game Commission set final quotas for antelope, special deer and special elk permits with little discussion at its meeting in Billings Friday. The only dispute over final quotas came over deer permits for Hunting District 650 where Jim Rector, representing the Valley County Sportsmen's Club of Glasgow, asked that the proposal for 50 buck permits be increased to 200. The area has been designated as a trophy mule deer district and the proposed number of permits was cut from 200 last year to 50 to reduce the harvest. "The only way to get bigger bucks is to let them get older and that means providing a very limited hunting season," said Steve Knapp of the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

"The 50 permits restricts hunter opportunity but that's the bitter pill you have to swallow to make the system work." The commission, however, sided with Rector and granted the old quota of 200 permits again -this year. With the final quotas set, the random computer drawings for special permits will be completed in early August. Successful applicants are expected to get their moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, antelope and special deer and elk permits in the mail during the week of Aug. 13. Those unlucky in the draw will get their refunds during the week of Aug.

20. In other business, the commission: Approved a closure to boating, floating and swimming 100 feet above and below Hebgen Dam on the Madison River. Voted to start a review of the 10-horsepower motor restriction on the Yellowstone River between Livingston and Springdale. Heard a plea from Ron Wolfe of Red Lodge to purchase the elk winter range on the Waples property near there. As part of his talk, Wolfe said he would dedicate an easement on the 120 acres he owns adjacent to the Waples property to protect it for elk use.

Transferred five state-owned areas on the Wild and Scenic stretch of the Missouri River -Coal Banks Landing, Hole-in-the-Wall, Slaughter River, Judith Landing and Cow Island -to the federal Bureau of Land Management. And, gave tentative approval to the state's Block Management Program for this year. It is used by Fish, Wildlife and Parks to help open up private land for hunting. Duran captures De Leon's title CAPO D'ORLANDO, Italy (AP) Massimiliano Duran won the WBC light heavyweight crown from Carlos De Leon Friday after the champion was disqualified for hitting after the bell at the end of the eleventh round. Duran, 26, with just 16 pro fights, dedicated the victory to his father Carlos Duran, a former European junior middleweight and middleweight champion who never had a chance to fight for a world title.

"I told everyone that I had enough experience to beat De Leon," Duran said. "With my style and my wits I made him nervous. In the end, even with all his experience, he just lost his cool." De Leon, 31, hardly looked like the fighter who'd won the WBC light heavyweight belt four times, and defended it successfully on seven occasions. The champion, weighing in at 189.5, was sluggish from start to finish. It was hardly an electrifying battle.

Fighting cautiously and with great concentration, Duran anticipated nearly all of De Leon's attacks, and usually landed one or two left hands before tying the champion up. The challenger never hurt De Leon. But he did manage to fluster him. In round six, Duran landed three clean rights to De Leon's head to take the round. Sensing he was behind, the champion tried to step up the pace at the opening of the seventh.

But he ran out of steam after only a minute, and Duran scored with several left jabs and a sharp left-right combination just before the bell. The pattern continued through the 10th round. mi 4 Jl 1 TV ti- 1 Class A Legion tourney on tap GLENDIVE The Class A American Legion state baseball tournament will kick off with four games Saturday. The 10-team field consists of eight Montana teams, including the two-time defending champion Bitterroot LEGION BASEBAll Stays, 1989 runner-up Laurel, the Central District champion Dillon Cubs and the runner-up Butte Muckers, plus Alberta, Canada, entries Fort McLeod and Vauxhall. First-round games Saturday will send Bitterroot against Fort McLeod at 9 a.m., Vauxhall against the Missoula Reds at 12:30, the Muckers against Scobey at 4 and the Billings Cardinals against host Glendive at 7:30.

Laurel and Dillon drew first-round byes and will play their first games Sunday. Laurel will face the Bitterroot-Fort McLeod winner at 4 and Dillon will play the Missoula-Vauxhall winner at 7:30. A first-round win would give the Muckers a bye until Monday. A loss would send them into a 9 a.m. Sim-day loser-out game against the Mis-soula-Vauxhall loser.

Sunday's second game also would be loser out, between the Bitterroot-Fort McLeod and Billings-Glendive losers. 76ers cut Truvillion PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia 76ers Friday cut four players from their rookie-free agent roster, including one from Montana. The NBA club cut free-agent forward center David Blackwell and rookies Luke Jackson, a forward from Bradley; Anthony Pullard, a forward-center from McNeese State; and Troy Truvillion, a guard from Eastern Montana. The moves leave the club's rookie-free agent roster at 13.

(AP) A first-year professional cowboy shaved nearly two seconds off the top steer wrestling time in the second-go round of the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo on Friday when he pinned the beast in 8.3 seconds. "I just hit the ground and peddled," said Peter Orradre, 23, of San Ardo, Calif. "When I brought him around, he was there and I said, 'Come Orradre's time beat the 10.1 seconds it took Bob Christopherson of Grassy Butte, N.D., to wrestle his steer earlier in the week. Orradre, who has held his Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association card less than a year, moves into the top spot in the second go and is virtually CHEYENNE FRONTIER DAYS RODEO assured a slot in the finals op Sunday. "It's the wildest steer wrestling in the country," said the 6-foot-l-inch, 195-pound bulldogger.

"And from what I've seen it is." Orradre's wrestle moves him into the top five bulldoggers of the rodeo, placing second behind Dean Wang of Baker, after the first and second go. The only other event of the day to see a new high score was the rookie bronc, where 20year-old Brandy Smith captured a 71 atop Miss Reno. "My saddle felt real loose, but I didn't even know if I made the whistle," said the Helena, cowboy. "I was more worried about staying in the saddle." No spectacular rides were made or scores given Friday in the bucking events, since none of the cowboys could beat scores made earlier in the week. No bullrider came close to the 87 score' earned Wednesday by Travis Russell of San Antonio, Txas7ftussell's score keeps him in the top five bull riders after two go-rounds, and means he will probably be in the finals.
