(Eljp Daily (Ear Hwl Peppers' Eye Leads to INT Julius Peppers said when an OU lineman tried to cut-block him, he knew what play the Sooners were running. By James Giza Sport Saturday Editor NORMAN, Okla. - There are many things you can try to do in life. Cut blocking Julius Peppers should not be one of Aem. But that’s exacdy what Oklahoma offensive lineman Frank Romero attempted near the end of the first quar ter of the Sooners’ 41-27 win against North Carolina on Saturday night. Peppers, the Tar Heels’ All- American defensive end, danced around the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Romero’s block and snatched OU quarterback Nate Hybl’s screen pass, which was headed for wideout Damian Mackey on the left flat. With no one between him and the end zone, Peppers coasted 29 yards for a touchdown, putting UNC on the board for the first time and cutting Oklahoma’s lead to 24-7 with 1:48 left in the quarter. “If somebody keeps doing the same play over and over, pretty soon you’re going to get hip to it,” said Peppers, who finished with five tackles, including two for loss. “As soon as the tackle tried to cut me, I knew what they were trying to do. Actually, I was just going to try to Bonds Blasts No. 56, Falls Triple Short of Cycle The Associated Press NEW YORK - Barry Bonds put away his earring, not his power stroke. Bonds hit his major league-leading 56th home run Monday, becoming the fastest player to reach the mark in major league history as the San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 6-5.

He returned a pick 27 yards for a score in last year’s sea son fin de, a 59-21 win at Duke. Julius Peppers picked off Sooners QB Nate Hybl and ran 29 yards for a touchdown Saturday against Oklahoma. Waddell Breaks Loose Michael Waddell had one of the worst gaffes of the game, fumbling the ball after being hit by OU kicker Tim Duncan on a first-quarter kickoff return. The UNC comerback made up for it in the second quarter, though, fielding a punt at UNC’s 11-yard line and racing 89 yards for a touchdown. Waddell broke along the right side line and then cut toward the middle in recording the second-longest punt return in school history (Johnny Branch returned one 96 yards in 1930). “I thought my team needed a little lift-up,” Waddell said, “not knowing that I was going to take it back, but I pressed my luck and what happened happened.” The junior said he nearly called for a fair catch until UNC safety Dexter Reid, on the field with the coverage unit, yelled at him to take off. J.T. Snow hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning as San Francisco averted a four-game sweep at Shea Stadium and moved a half-game ahead of idle Chicago in the wild card race. Bonds also doubled, singled and walked. Needing a triple for the cycle, he grounded out in the ninth. Child Care Like Legos?

Thornton Makes Most of Debut Starting for the first time in his UNC career, senior linebacker David Thornton proved he’s up to the challenge Saturday, tying a game-high with 13 tackles. The former walk-on, who played pri marily on special teams the past two seasons, also had a game-high four tack les for loss, totaling 12 yards. Not a bad showing for a guy who had 16 tackles all of last season as a backup. “I just wanted to go out and perform to the best of my abilities,” Thornton said. “My coach told me to play hard every play, every snap because you never get it back. So I just wanted to go out every play I got and gave 100 per cent -just ran around to die ball, make plays and make things happen.” End Zone Junior punter John Lafferty, handed the starting job after last season’s starter, Blake Ferguson, left UNC two weeks ago, averaged 44 yards on nine punts. Kicker Chris Bender, filling in for injured starter Jeff Reed, took five kick offs, the first of which was returned 88 yards for a touchdown. He sent one kick into the end zone for a touchback, but the other four traveled no deeper than OLPs 11-yard line. Bender also missed an extra point after UNC’s last touchdown.

Little League Officials Investigate Almonte A Sports Illustrated writer showed Little League Inc., an affidavit that said Danny Almonte is 14 years old. Die Associated Press SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Little League is investigating pitcher Danny Almonte after being shown a document that indicated the ace from the Bronx might be two years older than allowed. Litde League World Series officials were shown an affidavit Monday by a Sports Illustrated writer that indicated a Danny Almonte was bom April 7,1987, in Moca, Dominican Republic, said league spokesman Lance Van Auken, Documents submitted to Litde League by the Rolando Paulino team to prove Almonte’s eligibility showed him being bom to the same parents in the same town, but on April 7,1989. Litde League rules prohibit any play er bom before Aug. 1,1988, from com peting this year. “If this is the same Danny Almonte who played for Rolando Paulino Litde League, then we have been deceived, and a fraud has been perpetrated on Litde League and the millions of young sters for whom Litde League is so important,” said Litde League Inc. President Stephen Keener. In a statement released Monday, offi cials said they contacted the Rolando Paulino league in the Bronx, N.Y., which insisted all of its players were eli gible. Rick McCabe, a Sports Illustrated spokesman, said the magazine was “working on a Little League story” but would not comment further until the story was ready for publication. An official with the Rolando Paulino league questioned the new document. “Rolando, before he lets the kids into the league, he gets the original birth cer tificate and a passport, because he does- Travel/Vacation | SPRING BREAK! 2000 Winner of Blue Chip Enterprise Award and 1 of 6 Small Businesses Recognized for Outstanding Ethics by CBBB m 1998!

This is a surprise to us,” spokeswoman Joann Dalmau said. “What more can we provide, if we have provided an original birth certifi cate and a passport? Anything else is irrelevant. I don't know what document they have: but they’re wrong,” she said. Van Auken said if Almonte was found to be ineligible, the Bronx team could be forced to forfeit its last win, the consolation game against Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. Litde League could even revoke the Rolando Paulino league’s charter. Almonte was the most dominating pitcher at the World Series this year, throwing a perfect game in the opener against Apopka, Fla. Almonte struck out the first 15 Apopka batters in the first perfect game in 44 years at the tournament He finished the tournament with 46 strikeouts, giving up only three hits in three starts. A run scored in last inning of his final game was the only run scored on Almonte all summer. Behind his pitching and a solid defense, the Bronx team went 4-1 at the World Series and finished third. The team’s only loss was a rematch against Apopka in which Almonte couldn’t pitch because of a rule that prohibits pitchers from starting consecutive games. Almonte became a sensation after throwing 16 strikeouts in the Mid-Adantic Regional championship against State College, Pa. His perfect game only added to his reputation. But rumors about Almonte’s age plagued the team throughout the tour nament, and Litde League coaches in Staten Island, N.Y., and Pequannock, N.J., said they had hired private inves tigators to find proof that Bronx players were ineligible, but to no avail. Litde League officials said throughout that the Bronx team was the most scru tinized team in the country and that they had seen documents proving the players’ ages and residency met Litde League requirements.
