THE PANTAGRAPH, Monday, Sept. 2, 1985 B3 Hearts, Beer Nuts to battle today No upsets at U.S. Open Jimmy Connors returned a shot New York during the U.S. Open. run came on a Jeff Collins RBI single.

That was it for either offense until the top of the 12th. Jim Collins led off the inning with an infield single and was sacrificed to second by Steve King. After Mike Branz's infield hit moved Collins to third, Brian Martie was walked intentionally to load the bases. Losing pitcher Mike Andrew then walked Elston Mitchell to force in Collins with the go-ahead run. The Hearts' balanced offense produced 13 hits.

Ginger struck out seven and improved to 26-13 with the win. The Hearts take a 64-28 mark into today's action. In the Beer Nuts win over Elkhart, Greg Bradley and Jeff Bell contributed run-scoring singles in the first to highlight a three-run outburst that gave starter Graham Arnold a 3-0 lead. Bell played for Springfield Brandt's this season and has been added to the Beer Nuts tournament team. Beer Nuts' Ed Durdan gave up two hits in five innings of relief to earn the victory.

Beer Nuts are 7441. In the Beer Nuts-Decatur ADM game, Beer Nuts' only offensive threat came at the expense of Decatur ADM starter David Scott in the opening frame. The Beer Nuts scored two runs without the benefit of a hit as Scott walked five batters before being relieved by Brent Stevenson. Stevenson went on to pitch six shutout innings. Beer Nuts managed back-to-back singles in the fifth by Ron Jones and Matt INDIANAPOLIS The Bloom-ington Hearts used a 14-run sixth inning to breeze past Walton, by a 20-1 count here yesterday in Amateur Softball Association Class AA Fastpitch Midwest Regional Tournament action.

Earlier, Hearts hurler Bob Ginger went the distance as his team outlasted Shelbyville, 21, in 12 innings. Also yesterday, the Bloomington Beer Nuts' Mike Murray doubled in the bottom of the 10th inning and scored the winning run on a single by Ron Jones as Beer Nuts triumphed, 4-3 in 10 innings, over Burcliffe Industries of Elkhart, Ind. In the Beer Nuts' first game, Decatur ADM's Ted Hicks homered and singled, driving in two runs as Beer Nuts suffered its first tournament loss, 5-2. The wins put the Hearts in a 11 a.m. showdown today against the Beer Nuts.

The loser will be eliminated from the tourney and the winner will advance to today's 12:30 p.m. game against Kokomo, Ind. In the Hearts-Walton game, the Hearts had built a 6-1 lead against losing pitcher Dean Poore before exploding for 14 more against relievers George Anderson and Greg Poore in the sixth. The game was called at the end of the inning due to the 10-run rule. Bill Kennedy, 164, struck out seven and walked one en route to his complete-game win.

Rick Daniels, Brian Auer and Pat Singleton drove in three runs apiece with two hits each. In the first game, the Hearts and Shelbyville Sting each scored once in the second inning. The Hearts' NEW YORK (AP) Defending women's champion Martina Navratilova made a cameo appearance yesterday to join five-time winner Jimmy Connors and No. 2 men's seed Ivan Lendl in the fourth round of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships.

Navratilova dropped only 21 points as she breezed through Italy's Sandra Cecchini frO, 8-1. The match was over so fast that there was a question on how long she took. The official clock on the court said the match was 37 minutes long, but umpire Jim McKnight listed it as 27 minutes on his scorecard. A replay of the television tape, however, showed the official clock was correct. Connors, the only man to win America's premier tennis event on all three surfaces on which it has been played grass, clay and hardcourt defeated Thierry Tulasne of France 7 5, 82, 82.

The victory was his 75th, tying him with Vic Sexias for the most men's singles matches won in a career. "I'm happy to have tied it and to have won so many matches here," Connors said. "I didn't even know about it until I walked out there and played. I'm here to play and try to win the tournament." Lendl, who has reached the final in each of the last three years only to lose, crushed Horaeio De La Pena of Argentina 6-1, 6-1, 83. Also posting third-round victories yesterday on the hardcourts of the National Tennis Center were seventh-seeded Yannick Noah and his French Davis Cup teammate.

Henri Leconte, No. 11 Stefan Ed-berg of Sweden, Switzerland's Heinz Gunthardt and two teenagers, 18-year-old Jay Berger of Plantation, and 17-year-old Jaime Yzaga of Peru. Joining Navratilova in the fourth round of the women's singles were No. 4 Pam Shriver, No. 6 Zina Garrison, No.

8 Manuela Maleeva of Bulgaria, No. 11 Steffi Graf of West Germany, No. 13 Catarina Lind-qvist of Sweden and two Americans, Alycia Moulton and Kate Gompert. Noah ousted Vitas Gerulaitis 8-3, 64, 6-3; Leconte defeated West Germany's Hans Schwaier 6-2, 6-2, 6-1; Edberg stopped Brad Gilbert 8, 6-4, 6-1, 64; Gunthardt outlasted Argentina's Martin Jaite 6-7, 8, 7-6, 6- 4, 6-1; Berger, an amateur, eliminated veteran Brian Teacher 4-6, 7-6, 64, 7-6; and Yzaga, the French Open junior champion and the lone qualifier left in the tournament, stopped David Pate 6-3, 6-3, 7- 6. The bottom half of the men's draw will pit Leconte against Gunthardt, Edberg against Connors, Noah against Berger and Yzaga against Lendl.

Shriver defeated Britain's Anne Hobbs 6-2, 6-3; Garrison ousted New Zealand's Belinda Cordwell 64, 64; Maleeva downed Elise Burgin 64, 7 Graf defeated Anne White 64, 82; Lindqvist stopped Leigh Ann Thompson 7-5, 6-0; Moultokn edged Caroline Kuhlman 64, 1-6, 7-6; and Gompert defeated Czechoslovakia's Andrea Holikova 64, 7-6. In the fourth round, Maleeva plays Graf, Moulton meets Shriver, Johnson leads Rail; Randolph wins OPENING GAME to Thierry Tulasne yesterday at second set. It was her lone moment to shine in the bright sunshine as Navratilova was devastating. The left-handed native of Czechoslovakia, who now makes her home in Fort Worth, Texas, served only six times in the match and was taken to deuce only once. But she broke Cecchini's service six times.

It was Navratilova's easiest match as she has rounded into top form for the final week of this Grand Slam tournament. She has yet to lose a set and has dropped only six games in her first three matches. "It reinforces the fact I am hitting the ball well," Navratilova said of her brief Stadium Court appearance. "In 1983, when I won it (the women's singles title), only the final went more than one hour." amateur but there's a special (gallery) sound to an ace, especially hen they yell for four or five minutes." He said it was his fifth hole-in-one all in competition as an amateur at Ohio State University or as a pro. "But I never had one win a tournament before," he added.

Sindelar said he was glad it took the others in his threesome Bruce Lietzke and David Lundstrom a few minutes to putt out on No. 14. "I was so excited, I didn't know if I could hit the next shot," he said. Sindelar carded a 3-under-par 68 on the En Joie Golf Club course for a 72-hole total of 10-under 274. He won $54,000.

WESLEYAN STADIUM Don Larson Mead Coach llinois Ulfesleyan GOLF ROUNDUP 17th hole led to a double-bogey. That cost her a three-shot lead.

She missed a six-foot putt for bogey on the 17th before holing out. Randolph amateur champ Sam Randolph got that major championship he wanted with a lot of good golf, some prodding from his caddie and little help from a chiropractor. Randolph, accompanied around the golf course by the chiropractor because of nagging lower back spasms, captured the U.S. Amateur title, defeating Peter Persons of Macon, Ga. 1-up in their 36-hole final at West Orange.

N.J. The match was even until the 35th hole when Randolph hit a wedge to within 18 inches of the hole for a birdie. He closed out the match, sinking an eight-foot par-saving putt after coming out of a bunker on his third shot. "I did it and it wasn't easy," said Randolph, the runner-up to Scott The Music Shoppe's Pro Sound De Adults $3, Students $2, Children 12 and under 50c Come watch two of the nation's finer colleges open the football season OTHER HOME GAMES Sept. 14 Carthage Sept.

28 North Central Garrison takes on Gompert and Lindqvist tackles Navratilova in the bottom half of the draw. Lendl, quietly slipping through the draw while the spotlight has been on defending champion John McEnroe, Connors and Wimbledon champion Boris Becker, said his lopsided victories are indicative of how well he has been playing. "I would have to say that I haven't faced any players (who) have the game to push me," he said. "I'm definitely playing my best this summer, but I was playing awfully well at Forest Hills," when he won the Tournament of Champions in May, downing McEnroe in the final. The crowd in Louis Armstrong Stadium applauded loudly when Cecchini held serve to begin the Verplank in this event last year.

"Things like this aren't supposed to be easy." It was a gutsy performance by the 21-year-old University of Southern California golfer who started suffering back spasms on Friday during a quarterfinal victory over two-time champion Jay Sigel of Berwyn, Pa. The back did not bother him too much during Saturday semifinal victory over Canadian Jack Kay but it acted up yesterday, and Randolph was treated on the fifth tee and again in the locker room after the 27th hole by Dr. Rich Gueci of Summit. Sindelar prevails Pumped up by a partisan crowd and playing with his usual abandon, Joey Sindelar sank a hole-in-one on the 14th hole to emerge from a three-way tie for the lead and win the $300,000 B.C. Open at Endicott, N.Y.

"It was really exciting," Sindelar said of the stunning 5-iron shot on the 212-yard hole.

Johnson's even-par 72, combined with a 65 Saturday, were good for a 7-under-par total of 137 after 36 holes of the three-day tournament. Janet Anderson, Mary Beth Zimmerman, Martha Nause and first-round co-leader Betsy King, are all knotted at 6 under in the 185,000 tournament. Johnson birdied three holes in a row on the back nine after parring 10 of the first 12 holes.

"I just didn't have the drive that I did Saturday," she said. "I was out there wanting it to happen so badly that it was hard to stay in there and concentrate on every shot. I was just being too cautious and psyching myself out." Johnson's drives also were giving her trouble as she landed only seven of her tee shots in the fairway.

In the marathon, run in 90-degree heat, Pizzolato finished in 2 hours, 20 minutes, 6 seconds, Nicosia in 2:21:09.

Paul Gompers of Somerville, was third in 2:21:40. Gompers staggered across the finish line and was put immediately on a stretcher, but after he was carried about five yards, he got up and walked off, with help. Japan's Mami Fukao won the women's marathon in games record time, 1 1-2 minutes ahead of American Patti Gray. Chinese divers beat Olympic medalists Bruce Kimball and Michelle Mitchell for the gold med- als in men's and women's platform diving. And in women's basketball, the United States and the Soviet Union advanced to today's final as the Americans downed Canada 851.

Kenosha claims playoff spot BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) Kenosha clinched the wildcard playoff spot for the Midwest League by defeating Wausau 1-0 yesterday as the league prepared to begin championship playoffs Tuesday.
