DAYTON DAILY NEWS S3 SUNDAY, APRIL28, 19 Parking summons irlcs Bavii Reds Said Knight, "I don't know any thing about it, but maybe that isn't a bad idea." Bad wood: Maybe it's the bats. Barry Larkin said they might be termite infested. Dur-' ing batting practice before Saturday's game, Vince Colemaij broke one of Larkin's bats. Said Chris Sabo, "I don't thinjfe they make bats as good as they iipaJ ti 1 kit Still CVjnt, ninkt Coleman struck out to end Saturday's game, his 25th whiff in 79 plate appearances. "I want to do good, show what I can do and I end up pressing," said Coleman.

"You try to impress, as a result you depress. I know I'm going to come out of this, I just don't know when. I'll give out before I give in." Help wanted: Somebody is trying to help manager Ray Knight with his pitching miseries. This advertisement appeared on page 4C of The Cincinnati Post classified section on April 18: "BASEBALL PITCHER. Wanted: Left-handed pitcher.

Exp. necessary. Will train. Apply to: P.O. Box 1770, Cinti, OH 45201." uxu in.

i iitt a van 1 1 tuajr mgiii Flower power Can we stand one more parsimonious story about CEO Marge Schott? Sure we can. According to a member of the Reds front office and confirmed by another, SportsChan-nel sent Schott a basket of flowers on Opening Day. When umpire John McSherry died, Schott scribbled a note, attached it to the flowers sent to her by SportsChannel, and sent them to the umpires dressing room. Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly is in town to do a story on Schott for next week's issue and it isn't going to be pretty. Trying to Con Vince: Vince right on the barrel and the bat snaDDed.

The wood must not be as good." Then Sabo stepped into the cage and on the next pitch he cracked his bat. "One a day, every day," he said. I break one every day. Fine wood they're using these days. Real fine." our own deal because somebody pretty soon is going to take care of theirs." After the fouled-up hit-and-run play in the eighth, Portugal walked Mark Whiten to open the Philadelphia ninth and Knight replaced Portugal with Marcus Moore.

Todd Zeile singled, sending Whiten to third, but Moore got Santiago on a pop up and struck out pinch-hitter Lenny Dykstra with three high-quality fastballs as catcher Mike Lieberthal watched on deck. "He threw three good fastballs to Dykstra," Lieberthal said. "I'd never faced him, but now I knew he had a good fastball. I didn't want to take a fast ball on the first pitch and get behind, so I was looking for it." And got it. He grounded one between short and third for a single that scored Whiten with the game-winner because Philadelphia closer Ricky Bottalico pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save in eight opportunities.

Well, almost perfect. Pinch-hitter Thomas Howard's one-out bid for a hit was stopped with a dive by second baseman Mickey Morandini. A throw from his knees appeared too late, but first-base umpire Terry Tata called Howard out. Knight argued. "When you're going this way, you never get a call never get it," Knight said.

"We haven't got a call yet. All I want is what's right. I had to go out there and show my butt, look like an idiot out of frustration." By Hal McCoy DAYTON DAILY NEWS CINCINNATI Eric Davis was about to take batting practice before Saturday's game when he was summoned to the clubhouse. Security wanted him to move his car out of the Riverfront Stadium tunnel and into the parking lot. Being the good citizen, Davis complied and missed most of his batting practice session.

"Nothing surprises me around here," he said. "Nothing at all. I missed 10 minutes of hitting. Maybe my ball in the seventh inning might have gone over the wall with more batting practice." With the scored tied 2-2 in the seventh, the Reds had two on and one out when Davis batted. He hit one hard and it look headed over the wall, but was caught at the base of the fence.

"I thought I got it all," he said. "But the wind was blowing in, so it was inches short. That's the way it is when things are going bad. A game of inches. Balls elude fielders by an inch (like the game winning ground single by Philadelphia's Mike Lieberthal), you're out at first base by a inch (like Thomas Howard in the ninth).

"We have to shake this, take it upon ourselves to shake it," said Davis. "We can't make these games up. They count as much later in the season. We have to stop this and get back to winning." Monday through Friday, page SB, in MetroToday. Dayton Daily News There's more to the story.

FROMID we've been scoring and we don't get pitching. Now we get pitching can't get jack out of our offense." On Friday, Dave Burba gave up one run and three hits during a 141 pitch, seven-inning piece of craftsmanship. And lost. On Saturday, Portugal gave up three runs and three hits during a 121-pitch, eight-inning piece of craftsmanship. And lost Portugal's one mistake was a high fastball to former Red Benito Santiago after a walk to Todd Zeile.

Santiago deposited the mistake where most mistakes go over the left field wall for a 2-0 lead in the second. The Reds scored one in the fifth and one in the sixth to tie it 2-2, but should have had more in the sixth. They had the bases loaded with no outs against Terry Mulholland, but scored the run while Morris bounced into a double play. "I've caught Portugal a lot of years (at Houston and Cincinnati) and that was one of his better performances," said Taubens-ee. "He deserved to win, deserved a lot better." The 12 strikeouts were Portugal's most in the National League, although he struck out 13 once during his stop with the American League Minnesota Twins.

"I was much more focused," said Portugal. "In New York (last week) and today I had the concentration I'm supposed to have. Efforts, though, don't get you a whole lot. A 'W is what gets you something and we're coming up Short." I Amazingly, the last place Reds (9-15) are only 2W games behind Bi the National League Central because first-place St. Louis is 12-3.

That doesn't appease Knight. "I don't give a flip what anyone else is doing or that we're only 2Vs games out," he said. "We're playing so bad I feel like we're 100 games out. We better take care of i. lowest "1 ONE WEEK ONlY MUST BRING THIS AD PRIOR SALES EXCLUDED MEMORY SYSTEM OF THE WEEK MOTHERBOARDS I tUri CflA-111 MAO 150 CASH BACK GUARANTEE PENTIUM 75 '279 I PENTIUM 100 379 1 MEG '21 4 MEG '65 8 MEG '119 16 MEG '219 PENTIUM 133 '489 INTEL PENTIUM 166 16 MFG RAM dG HAKD DHIVt j.5 Floppy wivt ENHANCED CON ntOUl 25, IP, 10 I VKOCAItDWlM i CHOKE Of CASES HARD DRIVES Mivuuntuui SEHVICE SPECIAL S39HH 850 MEG 5195 Naw I Spaad CD Ion 21.133.6 FAX MODEMS '1 19 '119 1.2 CO $225 We'll refund 150 the difference in price if your tire is advertised for less by a local competitor within 30 days of your purchase.
