Tar Heels lack cohesion, fall to Moscow
■ UNC had 27 turnovers

tion game, it couldn’t penetrate, and it
couldn’t protect the bail.
And in the end, the Tar Heels could
n’t surmount those deficiencies in a 74-
71 exhibition loss.
“We were out of sync, and we didn’t
play together offensively or defen
sively,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell
said. “...We are much better than we
played tonight.”
UNC hinted at its skill late in the sec
ond half, when it tore off an 18-3 run to
pull to 62-60 with 3:20 left. The resur
gence was reminiscent of last season, as
forward Tracy Reid tallied 11 points,
and her team’s transition game clicked.

twice, had fallen too far under to resur

Marlins trade Alou to Houston
■ The 1997 World Series
champs began to chop their
payroll for next season.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI The Florida Marlins
began the breakup of their World Series
championship team Tuesday, trading
Moises Alou to the Houston Astros for
minor-league right-handers Oscar
Henriquez and Manuel Barrios and a
player to be named.
The deal was made just before 2 p.m.
EST Tuesday, the deadline for freezing
rosters for the Nov. 18 expansion draft.
Astros general manager Gerry
Hunsicker sounded overjoyed.
“Moises Alou obviously is one of the
premier players in the game today,”
Hunsicker said. “It’s unusual that any
body can acquire a player of this mag
nitude.”
Florida owner H. Wayne Huizenga
plans to sell the Marlins to a group
headed by team president Don Smiley.
The two have vowed to lower the payroll
to less than S2O million next season, vir
tually assuring Florida will become a
low-drawing non-contender.
Alou is to be paid $5 million in each
of the next two seasons and $5.25 mil
lion in both 2000 and 2001 seasons.

whom Florida spent SB9 million last

Freshman guard Nikki Teasley had dif

despite 15 points and five assists, and
UNC lost 14 turnovers in the first half
alone and 27 for the game.
But while Moscow’s pressure made
passing perilous, its inside defense also
bottled up UNC. Center Elena Minaeva
finished with 18 points and six rebounds
and fronted UNC’s post players merci

Reid wound up with 18 points and 10
boards, but she also lost seven turnovers
and couldn’t carry the inside burden.
Plus, the Tar Heels often forced the
issue, outside and inside.
“They played aggressive defense, and
it was hard to get open shots on the
perimeter," said Wright, who finished
winter to build a contender, agreeing to
a $25 million, five-year contract. He hit
.292 during the regular season and led
the team with 23 homers and 115 RBIs.
Alou hit .321 with a pair of doubles,
three homers and nine RBIs in the
World Series.
Florida also is expected to get rid of

Kevin Brown.
Martinet wins NL Cy Young
NEW YORK Pedro Martinez
ended the Atlanta Braves’ streak of NL
Cy Young Awards at four, beating Greg
Maddux and Denny Neagle.
Martinez received 25 of 28 first-place
votes and 134 points in balloting
released Tuesday by the Baseball
Writers’ Association of America.
Maddux, who won the award four
consecutive times from 1992-95, was
second with the remaining first-place
votes and 75 points. Neagle, Maddux’s
Atlanta teammate, was third with 24
points, followed by Philadelphia’s Curt
Schilling with 12 and Houston’s Darryl
Kile with seven.
Martinez, a 26-year-old right-hander,
joined with Schilling to become the first
pair of pitchers in 25 years to reach 300
strikeouts in the same season.
Martinez went 17-8 and led the
majors with a 1.90 ERA, becoming the
first ERA ieader with 300 strikeouts
since Steve Carlton in 1972.

When the Tar Heel transition game
clicked, Moscow couldn’t keep pace.
During UNC’s late sprint, Reid and
Nicole Walker keyed the break and
enlivened the Tar Heels.
Yet for most of the contest, UNC
was confused and almost stagnant.
Moscow jumped to a 21-11 lead in the

Orioles tap Miller to replace
AL manager of year Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE Ray Miller already
has taken care of the toughest part of
managing the Baltimore Orioles
establishing a rapport with owner Peter
Angelos.
Miller became the Orioles’ fourth
manager in five years Tuesday, six days
after AL Manager of the Year Davey
Johnson ended a running quarrel with
Angelos by resigning.
“Mr. Angelos guaranteed he would
do everything in the world to keep this
club competitive and in a position to
win,” Miller said. “If we’re short of
something, I’m sure ownership will go
out and get it.”
As Johnson’s pitching coach, Miller
was instrumental in helping the Orioles
win 98 games before advancing to the
AL championship series. Baltimore had
the league’s best earned-run average,
allowed the fewest hits and runs and
had three 15-game winners for the first
time in 15 seasons.
Neither Miller nor the Orioles would
divulge the length or amount of the con
tract.

That’s the situation the Orioles are in
now. Miller, 52, intends to complete the
process.
“I’ve been very comfortable with
what I’ve been doing as a pitching
coach,” Miller said. “But when Davey
stepped down, my thoughts were that all
the work we did would be turned over to
someone on the outside. I didn’t want
that to happen.”
Miller doesn’t plan to do things much
differently than Johnson did.
He hired former Baltimore pitcher
Mike Flanagan as his pitching coach
Tuesday and will retain hitting coach
Rick Down, third base coach Sam
Perlozzo and bullpen coach Elrod
Hendricks.
He also plans to maintain a tight rela
tionship with Angelos, who hired him to
replace Pat Dobson as the Orioles’
pitching coach 13 months ago.
