FRIDAY, April 22, 1994 The Sun C3 Local colleges Spirit outslugs Storm, 12-7 i punched Storm pitcher Jeff Schmidt in the head. Allanson was ejected, his second ejection in two nights, as were O'Laughlin, Schmidt and Storm reserve outfielder De-mond Smith. "He has a chip on his shoulder," Schmidt said of Allanson. "He's 32 and in the Cal League. "Hey, I'd have a chip on my shoulder too." Spirit manager Greg Mahl-berg was upset with Simpson, who also instigated an incident Monday that led to the ejection of Spirit pitcher Sandi Santiago.

"Twice he's the instigator and my pitchers get ejected," Mahl-berg said. "That guy is an idiot. He's stupid. "Then somebody pops off to Allanson. Allanson looks like the bad guy in this and that's not the case at all.

He's trying to restrain a guy. Simpson, in my opinion, is one of the stupidest players in the league." "I've got to protect myself," 'C0 1 j1 1 going to charge the mound. I was just trying to state my case." Spirit notes The Storm changed its locker room policy before Thursday's game and will not, for the time being, allow any reporters into the team's dressing area. Storm general manager Kevin Haughian, who made the decision, said the move was not made because one of the team's beat writers is female. Cindy Martinez Rhodes covers the team for the Riverside Press Enterprise.

"I don't think so," Haughian responded when asked if the move was made because there was a female reporter in the locker room. "I spoke to Cindy and I understand her frustration. I don't know how big facilities handle this type of situation. I have been around smaller facilities while I have been in this business. I am trying to get a stadium built here and that was one of 28 things dropped on my desk this morning.

I will do some research to see how big facilities handle this type of thing." The move was in response to an incident Wednesday when Storm player George Airas request-' ed his postgame interview with three reporters, including Martinez Rhodes, take place in a hallway outside repuners, muiuumy mailmen ni des, take place in a hallway outsi the dressing area. 10-3 victory give up any runs.

MM By DOUQ PADILLA Sun Sports Writer LAKE ELSINORE This was as ugly as it gets, even for the California League, where scoreboards frequently read 'tilt' and games last long into the night. The Spirit defeated the Lake Elsinore Storm, 12-7, before 4,377 at the Lake Elsinore Diamond in a game that had plenty of drama, save a late rally by the Storm.

There were fights, ejections, plenty of errors and even a monster home run, the first long-ball to be hit over the Diamond's 36-foot-high right-field wall. The trouble began early, when Spirit starter Chad O'Laughlin allowed four runs in the bottom of the second inning. He then threw two consecutive pitches high and inside to the Storm's Jay Simpson, who took exception and began shouting at O'Laughlin. Spirit catcher Andy Allanson wrapped up Simpson from be hind, causing both benches to empty. With players standing llinu, causing uuiii umicims iu empty.

On Wednesday night, the Ran-cho Cucamonga Quakes scored five runs in the ninth to scare Riverside before falling. Thursday night, the Quakes scored five runs in both the first and eighth innings to crush the Pilots 10-3, before 5,964 at the Epicenter. Sean Mulligan, the Quakes' third-leading hitter and second on the team in RBI, started the clinching eighth-inning rally with an RBI single. Derrek Lee capped it with a three-run double.

Mulligan had made the final out with two runners on in both the fourth and sixth innings. "Mulligan had opportunities to do what we did in the eighth, but he came up in the eighth and got it done," Quakes manager Tim Flannery said.

"He did a fine job. It was his best fastball of the season." Flannery did make a trip to the mound in the fifth, because Baker wasn't using that fastball.

"I don't mind walks, but a 3-2 changeup to a guy hitting a buck-88 (isn't good)," Flannery said. Reliever Craig Hanson continued his impressive season, pitching three innings, allowing only two hits and striking out five. "Hanson has done a tremendous job," Flannery said.
