Sports D8 The Berkshire Eagle, Tuesday, June 26, 1990 Ireland works overtime for World Cup victory World Cup 8 IhhI said. "The lads said: 'Take the fifth So I did." The Romanians also proved themselves in the soccer world championship. Worried about relatives and friends back home, where unrest broke out early in the tournament, they still got to the second round and nearly beyond. "We didn't have very good luck," said Romanian coach Emerich Jenei. "We hade many more chances than the Irish team.

Our team played very well and deserved more." Uruguay didn't. It seemed satisfied in trying to hold Italy scoreless and get the game into a penalty kick situation. But the Italians didn't cooperate as Schillaci scored on a long left-footed kick and Serena connected with a header. "The goal was Serena's work," Schillaci said of his third score in the tournament. By Barry Wilner Associated Press ROME The luck of the Irish got them there.

The pluck of the Irish carried them farther. Ireland, in its first World Cup, needed to draw lots with the Netherlands to decide second and third place in their first-round group. The Irish won and got to play Romania, while the Dutch wound up with West Germany. Yesterday, after the Netherlands had been eliminated by the Germans 20 hours before, Ireland moved into the quarterfinals with a gutty victory over Romania. It took 120 minutes of scoreless play to get to a penalty kick shootout, the first of this tournament and the first ever for the Irish.

They responded superbly, scoring on all five kicks. When goalie Paddy Bonner dived right and made a hand save on Daniel Timofte, it was the difference, 5-4. Their next task is even more formidable: host Italy, at Rome. The Italians kept their record spotless with a 2-0 victory over Uruguay on goals by Salvatore Schillaci and Aldo Serena. But it was Ireland that owned the spotlight.

"Paddy is a great goalie, and he saved us a couple of times today," Ireland coach Jack Charlton said. "He guessed right a couple of times, and I would have been surprised if he didn't stop one." was all it took. After each of Romania's first four shooters were successful, each Irish kicker made good. Then Bonner made the only save of the shootout, and David O'Leary sent his shot high into the right corner of the net. "To walk on and score the winner, it was a dream," O'Leary Associated Press relaitd troaltender Patrick Bonner hangs in the air after stopping a penalty kick by Romania's Daniel Timofta in yesterday's World Cup matehup between Ireland and Romania.

Ireland, in its first World Cup ever, advanced to the quarterfinals with a thrilling 5-4 win, the game decided on penalty kicks after the sides battled to a scoreless tie.

North Adams 12, Lanesboro 9 WILLIAMSTOWN North Adams led 10-1 after three innings prompting coach Ed Noel to pull his starters.

The move almost backfired as Lanesboro rallied to put the tying runs on base in the fifth inning. But Bryan Casuscelli, who had pitched five innings on Sunday, came into the game to retire Lanesboro in the sixth without further damage. Jason Hayer had three hits for the winners while Brian Northcutt blasted two triples and Mike Bis-saillon also hit a long triple. single to Mike Woitkowski in the first inning, did not allow another hit until the seventh when Josh Tobin and Pete Montesanti reached the right-hander for back-to-back singles with one out. Paul Dowd came up as a pinch-hitter and drove a long foul ball down the left-field line.

Tierney then froze Dowd on the next pitch getting the Aces' hitter looking at a third strike. Mike Filliault scratched out an infield hit to load the bases, but pinch-hitter Bo Quadrozzi lifted a towering fly ball to center field to end the game. "Mike Wilk calls the pitch and I throw the ball where he sets up," Tierney said. "I was just trying to hit the corners. And I loved the defense tonight Monday.

We made some nice plays By Brian Sullivan Berkshire Eagle Staff Post 68 pitcher Mike Tierney was hitting the mitt of catcher Mike Wilk for strikes last night. And when the Friendship Tyler Aces' hitters did connect with Tierney's serves, they found the mitts of the Post 68 fielders. The end result was 90 minutes of American Legion baseball at Clapp Park with Post 68 emerging a 2-0 winner behind Tierney's 4-hitter. In other action last night. North Adams defeated Lanesboro 12-9 in a game that was called due to darkness after six innings.

Post 68 2, Tyler Aces 0 PITTSFIELD Tierney, who pitched for Taconic High this year, wriggled his curveball on the inside and outside portions of home plate while spotting a good fastball that had Aces' hitters off-balance most of the evening. "We didn't hit badly and we didn't hit the ball well," Aces coach Peter Bell said. "We put the ball between the white lines and came up empty. And they made the plays behind him." BECAUSE SO MUCH IS RIDING ON YOUR TIRES in CELEBRATION SALE! Aces starter Josh Zolkowski was also impressive. But the right-hander allowed two runs in the third and that was all the Post 68 club would need.

Eric Holland started the inning with a base hit to right field. Zolkowski picked Holland off first base, but the Aces botched the rundown play allowing Holland second base. Shaun Soltaire sacrificed Holland to third and Rob Porter singled inside the bag at third base to score Holland with the first run. Porter then stole second base and moved to third on an error. Tierney then flew deep to center to score Porter with the game's final run.

Also qualifying were Wilbraham's Patrick Galleher (74), Longmeadow's Craig Calcasola (76) and Wilbraham's Brian Bishop (76).

Welker, Galleher and Calcasola all returned to the course where the Western Massachusetts high school golf individual championships were held.

Scott said he didn't know who she was until informed by Water-town catcher John Lorms. i "Than I was more embarassed than anything," said Scott. Morganna confronted "Mor-ganna-proof" security teams and the threat of jail sentences early in her career, which began when she ran onto the field to kiss Pete Rose in Cincinnati almost 20 years ago. She is now so accepted that she schedules her appearances at the baseball winter meetings, and she joined the mainstream five years ago by buying a piece of the New York-Penn League's Utica Blue Sox. 00 141 MICHELIN XCA All-wheel position light truck radial.

Kallevig retired the side in order in the eighth and ninth. Eschen was tossed in the fifth after a vehement dispute with base umpire Dave Stahle, who called Scott out at first on a bunt attempt though he appeared to be about 2 feet beyond the bag when the throw arrived.

The Mets had a runner on second with one out at the time. Eschen had come out to argue with Stahle two innings earlier when Washington was called out at first on another close play. METS NOTES: Yesterday's warm sunshine seemed to melt away some of the bad feeling left over from Sunday night's vicious brawl between the Mets and the Indians. Pittsfield's Tim Buhe, who found himself underneath a pile of Indians, was banged up and stitched up but in uniform. The fight started after Buhe was plunked by a Keith Shepherd pitch during the Mets' game-winning, five-run seventh inning rally.

Buhe and first baseman Mike Davis had words, began shoving each other, and both benches emptied for a brawl fea-turing the kind of wild haymakers, kicking and punching rarely seen in a baseball fight. "It was a nasty thing," said Watertown manager Jim Gabella, who suffered a cut toe from a spike while trying to break up the melee. "We have a lot of intense players and I'm sure the Mets do too, and when those kinds of players get together that kind of thing can happen. It's fortunate that no one was seriously hurt on either team." "I can't thing of anything that led up to it," said Pittsfield manager Jim Eschen. "Sometimes all it takes is for one guy to take something the wrong way.

Their guys get pretty intense, and Tim Buhe is one tough little nut. But I told our guys after the game that it was over with and we should concentrate on winning the next night."
