A's win to lead. 2-0,
Giants beat Cobs
From Associated Press reports
OAKLAND, Calif. Jose Canseco
missed the start of the show, so Rickey
Henderson stole it.
' Henderson sparked a two-run fourth
inning rally with two stolen bases, and
the Oakland Athletics beat the Blue
Jays 6-3 for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven
American League playoffs.
"That's what I'm here for," Hender
son said. "I want to make things hap
pen." That's just what he did. Only two
of 11 teams have rallied from a 2-0
deficit to win the AL playoffs Mil
waukee in 1982 and Kansas City over
Toronto in 1985.
Once again, the A's put together a
combination of power, pitching and
speed to beat the Blue Jays. Starter
Mike Moore allowed three hits in seven
innings.
Henderson had two singles and two
walks, and has been on base seven
times in nine plate appearances. He has
six steals in the series, breaking the
playoff record of five previously held
by Davey Lopes (1981) and Steve Sax
(1988), both with Los Angeles.
"Everyone has to worry about
Rickey," Toronto manager Cito Gas
ton said. "Let him steal second, throw
' to third and maybe we can get him
there." Henderson stole both second
and third in the fourth and seventh
innings.
The A's are now 49-1 8 in day games
this season, while the Blue Jays are 23-
28.
Canseco, who is hitless in his last 22
' postseason at-bats, was in the starting
lineup but was scratched when he had a
migraine headache before the game.
He pinch hit in the A's three-run sixth
inning and struck out. He walked in the
eighth. "He didn't feel well before the
game, he was vomiting," La Russa said.

Giants club Cubs , 11-3
CHICAGO Will Clark spent all
season in the shadow of Kevin Mitch
ell. In the spotlight at Wrigley Field on
Wednesday night, he finally moved
ahead of his teammate barely.
Clark drove in a record six runs,
going 4-for-4 with two homers, includ
ing a grand slam, and overshadowed
Mitchell's three-run shot as San Fran
cisco routed the Chicago Cubs 1 1-3 in
the opening game of the National
League playoffs.
Pitching may dominate the postsea
son, but not this time. Clark's slam off
19-game winner Greg Maddux landed
on Sheffield Avenue beyond the right
field bleachers and made it 8-3 in the
fourth inning. By then there had al
ready been four home runs and 13 hits.
Clark set a playoff record for RBIs
and tied the all-time postseason record
set by Bobby Richardson for the New
York Yankees in the 1960 World Se
ries. Clark hit his only big-league grand
slam this season, against Mike Mad
dux, Greg's brother.
Mitchell, who led the majors with 47
home runs and 125 RBIs this season,
contributed his homer and a single to
the Giants' 13 hits. Clark, who batted
.333 and had 23 home runs and 111
RBIs, walked ahead of Mitchell's home
run onto Waveland Avenue in left field.
Scott Garrelts, the league's earned
run average champion, struggled early
yet lasted seven innings for the victory.
Mark Grace hit a two-run homer in the
first inning for the Cubs and Ryne
Sandberg, who had three hits, homered
in the third.
Game 2 will be Thursday night with
Chicago's Mike Bielecki (18-7) facing
Rick Reuschel (17-8).

Forget studying overseas. Anyone
who wanted some international flavor
in their lives could have gotten it by
watching the men's soccer game at
Finley Field Wednesday afternoon.
UNC managed a 1-0 victory against
a Coastal Carolina team that had 13
foreigners on its roster. The list in
cludes five players from Iceland and
two from England. Of the starters, eight
were from other countries. The other
three were from Florida.
"They are as tough to beat as any
ACC team, with all the talent they have
from whatever country," said UNC
coach Elmar Bolowich, whose team is
now 7-3-1. "Basically we played an
international team with a lot of experi
ence, and you could see that."
The lOth-ranked Tar Heels were
fortunate that they did not expect an
easy win after a 3-0 loss Sunday at top
ranked Virginia. The Chanticleers en
tered Wednesday's game with an 8-1
record, their only loss coming against
Clemson by a score of 2-1.
"I think our players were prepared
for the match," Bolowich said. 'They
knew about them, they knew about
their strengths, they knew about their

Chapel Hill may be dubbed the
"Southern part of heaven," but UNC
more than holds its own in "northern"
sports. In the spring, the Tar Heel la
crosse team shows those northern boys
that there isn't a total vacuum in that
sport south of the Mason-Dixon line
(though admittedly, UNC borrows a lot
of those Yankees for four years). While
in the fall, UNC consistently fields one
of the top field hockey teams in the
nation they're currently ranked No.
2.
At this point, you're probably tired
of seeing North Carolina on the losing
end of the scoreboard at Kenan Sta
dium on Saturday afternoons. You want
to see UNC win at something.
The solution: A. Go see a women's
soccer game (top-ranked UNC never
loses at home, and I mean never). Or if
option A is just too certain, take option
B. go to a field hockey game.
O.K. I admit it. I had never seen a
field hockey game before I came to
Chapel Hill. My home state of Florida
isn't exactly a bastion of field hockey
popularity. I may have missed the sport
totally if I hadn't been assigned articles
on it for the DTH. Anyway, college is
that time to go out there and experience
some new things.
A field hockey game may not be as
exciting as the Duke game in the Dean
Dome, but I found it to be a darn good
spectator sport. (Once I figured out
what was going on that is.)
Looking ahead in my handy-dandy
non-revenue sports home schedule, I
saw two asterisks by the Oct. 14 field
hockey game versus Old Dominion.
That means Carolina Fever, also known
as "that group of blue-clad students
who get a really good block of football
tickets," is scheduled to attend the game.
Now, as a DTH sports writer, it's my
job to keep UNC sports fans informed
and I wouldn't want newcomers to the
sport to be as clueless as I was when I
saw my first game. So here's a little
primer on field hockey just a few
little facts and explanations which you
can use to impress your date at the
game.
First, a few basics: each team has 1 1
players; the object is to shoot the ball
into a goal four yards wide and seven
feet high; field hockey is an Olympic

weaknesses. I was a little worried that if
we let down a little bit, they would
knock us off on our home turf.
"I think the key was that we were
mentally prepared not to play Coastal
Carolina, but to play a team that was 8
1 and that could beat any ACC team if
it had a bad day," added Bolowich.
Sophomore sweeper Richard
Wachsman's first career goal with 29:04
gone in the second half accounted for
the game's only tally. The goal was set
up when Marc Buffin was tripped up
after dribbling past three Chant defend
ers right behind the penalty box.
Chad Ashton took a tap from Nick
Efthimou on the free kick and drilled a
shot right at goalkeeper Reggie Pierre
Jerome. The ball bounced off Pierre
Jerome, and Wachsman placed the ball
in the upper right corner of the goal
from four yards out.
Wachsman's goal ended a scoring
drought brought on partially by the
physical play of both sides. Coastal
Carolina is one of the few teams that
was able to play agressively with the
Tar Heels. The Chants were whistled
for 28 fouls, while UNC was called for
15.
"We can usually beat up on a lot of
the teams," Waschman said. "This is
sport for both men and women (how
ever, UNC has only a women's team).
Speaking of the Olympics, the United
States won a bronze medal in the
women's version in 1984 and UNC
coach Karen Shelton was a starter on
that team. The Netherlands is the real
power in the sport though, winning a
bronze in 1988 and the gold in 1984.
That fact has not been overlooked by
Shelton, as Dutch players often star for
the Tar Heels. On this year's squad,
junior goalkeeper Evelie Spee and f resh
man midfielder Imke Lempers hail from
the Netherlands.
Spee leads the ACC with a goals
against average of 0.44 and set the
UNC record for most saves in a season
with 149 last year. Speaking of the
ACC, only five of the eight conference
schools UNC, Duke, Virginia,
Maryland and Wake Forest compete
in field hockey. That doesn't mean,
however, that the conference is not
competitive. In 1987, UNC defeated
Maryland 5-0 for the ACC crown, but
the Terrapins ended up winning a big
ger crown the national title via a 2
1 defeat of the Tar Heels, 2-1, in the
championship game. Upcoming UNC
opponent Old Dominion won the
NCAA tournament in 1988.
Lempers has scored 14 goals in nine
games this season. The UNC record for
goals scored in a season by a freshman
is 21. With eight regular season games
left, Lempers should easily break the
freshman record and threaten the over
all UNC season record of 27 goals.
UNC plays its home games on the
AstroTurf field, located across from
the baseball stadium. One of the first
things you may notice is that the field is
wet for games. Considering all the recent
rain in Chapel Hill, a wet field may not
seem strange, but, interestingly enough,
the field is equipped with an automatic
sprinkler system and is purposely wet
to allow the ball to roll faster.
That rolling ball, incidentally, is
made of cork and twine, covered with
white leather and about the size of a
tennis ball. So don't expect to see a
puck. Nor should you expect any check
ing as in ice hockey. However, the
goalkeeper wears a face mask and
padded gloves virtually identical to
those used for ice hockey a very
good idea considering how hard the
ball is. The other players' only protec

the first team that we've been evenly
matched with there and it seemed like
the game just went back and forth for a
while."
Coastal Carolina's strategy on of
fense involved pushing the ball up the
field and taking the game to the UNC
half of the field. The Chants had suc
cess with this plan as the Tar Heels had
trouble keeping the ball on Coastal
Carolina's side of the field.
In an adjustment to the situation,
Bolowich made a surprise move in the
second half by removing forwards
David Merola and Derek Missimo, the
nation's fourth-leading scorer. They
were replaced by Wendell Muldrow
and Tommy Boykin both of whom
boast better overall speed.
"We created a lot more chances in
the second half, just because our strik
ers were faster," said Bolowich.
"(Coastal Carolina) had a lot of space
between the goalkeeper and the
sweeper. With two fast guys up front,
we were able to utilize their weak
nesses and make them our strengths."
Coastal Carolina's success so far this
season has been due in a large part to its
high-powered offense, which had
scored 42 goals in just nine games a
4.7 goal average per game. Forward
tive gear consists of shinguards.
Another little tidbit of info you may
find interesting is that a player is only
allowed to use one side of her stick.
Thus, a field hockey stick is flat on one
side (to provide a hitting surface) and
curved on the other side.
Perhaps the most confusing aspect
of the sport to newcomers is the penalty
corner, which accounts for a large chunk
of the goals scored. A penalty corner is
awarded if the defending team pur
posely knocks the ball over the goal
line or commits a foul in front of the
goal. On a penalty corner, one player on
the offense stands on the goal line behind

Hilmar Arnason, among the natioh's
leading scorers with 12 goals and six
assists, was held to just two shots. An
amazing feat for the Tar Heel defense.
Sweeper Allen Higgins sat out the
second half along with Missimo and
Merola. Higgins had been having ankle
problems before the game, and
Bolowich became concerned when
Higgins started playing tentatively in
certain situations because of the ankle.
"We couldn't afford to have a
sweeper in the back that was intimi
dated and cannot go 100 percent,"
Bolowich said. "That's why I switched
to Richard Wachsman, who had a great
showing."
Bolowich also gave credit to fresh
man goalkeeper Watson Jennison.
Jennison made four saves on the way to
his third shutout of the year.
Sophomore forward Adam Tinkham
had been bothered by a sore ankle and
may have reinjured it when he was
undercut by Russell Herrity on a slide
tackle midway through the second half.
