put on its typical hitting display Tuesday in the championship game of its own Easter Tournament Batting averages were padded RBI totals beefed up and other statistics grew as well But the difference in the Panthers' 7-6 victory over Diablo Valley at the Sac City stadium won't show up on the next updated stat sheets Sac City (19-6) won for the 171h time in its last 20 games because of the intelligent decision-making and aggressive baserunning of Richie Kimm and Willie Smith Chris Jones' ability to deliver the game-winning hit after dropping a two-out fly ball that produced two unearned runs and two sparkling defensive plays in the top of the ninth inning by second baseman Fernando Vim "We did a lot of little things very well things that don't show up in the scorebook" coach Jerry Weinstein said Kimm's uniform stained with red Sac City infield dirt told the story of his day at work Kimm ripped two doubles and drove in the final run of a three-run fourth inning He scored the Panthers' first two runs mostly on his own creativity In the bottom of the first he scored from second on Smith's infield single racing around third as the throw went to first In the third his routine grounder went through the legs of shortstop Tim Foote When the Vikings were slow in retrieving the ball Kimm raced to second When the Vikings threw the ball past second Kimm sped to third He then stole home for a 2-2 tie He scored both runs with two outs Smith nearly duplicated Kimm's performance in the seventh He blooped a one-out double for his third hit and hustled to third when Diablo Valley (18-9-1) couldn't decide where to throw the ball Jones who went 12 for 18 in the tournament then tripled Smith home with the game-winning run In the sixth Jones had dropped an easy fly ball that led to two runs and a 6-5 Diablo lead "That's the sign of a true competitor what he does when he gets knocked down" Weinstein said To AT MOST VW BUGS REAR FRONT GO SET MOST COLORS MOST YEARS

could be worse I could have broken my wrist like my brother over there" Maybe he did If Canseco's wrist is broken or requires surgery he could be unable to swing a bat for four to six weeks And that would clear a spot in the lineup for Felix Jose the 23-year-old outfielder who many in the organization believe is ready to play in the majors He is hitting 351 this spring with a team-leading 16 runs batted in but he has been heading for another season at Triple-A Tacoma because the major-league club has no room for him This is not the way they would like to make room But Alderson said "You have to anticipate injuries You'd like them not to occur to certain people but any injury is a problem "In this case the injury involves a guy who's the Most Valuable Player in the American League" A's notebook Pitching coach Dave Duncan explained why starters Dave Stewart and Mike Moore have been throwing on the same day and in so doing Duncan revealed the A's pitching rotation for the first week of the season "Stewart pitches Game One and Moore pitches Game Five so they're working on the same day" Duncan said That lines up the A's rotation this way: Stewart against the Seattle Mariners on Opening Night Bob Welch against the Mariners after an off day Storm Davis against the Mariners on Thursday Curt Young against the Chicago White Sox on Friday and Moore making his A's debut Saturday against Chicago The A's made their 1986 trade for reliever Gene Nelson look even better Wednesday when they signed infielder Donnie Hill to a Triple-A contract Hill whom the White Sox released this spring was the player the A's traded for Nelson Continued from page DI seco because earlier X-rays had revealed nothing wrong with the wrist and Weinberg because Canseco had been swinging the bat comfortably in batting practice since Saturday "But sometimes the surface X-rays don't show everything" said Weinberg who explained that Canseco will undergo an arthrogram and an MRI to look for cartilage or ligament damage "It's funny: They didn't find any problem with the hand" Canseco said "But I definitely know there's something wrong with it It's in the wrist and joint area where all the movement occurs That's where I felt it all the first swing" Canseco fouled off that 1-0 pitch from Giants starter Dennis Cook and felt what he described as "a real real bad sharp pain" He remained in the game to take another pitch and then another swing The wrist still hurt so he left the game and a 2-2 count for Billy Beane who struck out "I didn't feel 100 percent but I thought I could play on 80 percent" Canseco said "I just wanted to get my timing back and see some pitches" Canseco also had said before Wednesday's game that he thought people were tired of hearing about his off-field exploits and might like to see him play baseball for a change It has been that kind of spring for the 24-year-old 816 million right fielder He has been criticized for missing public appearances and receiving traffic tickets And most recently he has had to answer questions regarding the discovery of steroids connected to his "cousin" David Valdes Valdes who has turned out to be Canseco's good friend not his cousin received a sentence of one year's probation Tuesday for attempting to carry a gun through airport security en route to a baseball card show last winter Canseco said Tuesday that Valdes had been anemic as a child and may have taken pills for stfengthening And there was Canseco making Bee Staff Report PHOENIX Ariz The Giants finally defeated the A's 6-4 Wednesday in the fourth
