Bush bounces first pitch
as baseball season opens
By the Associated Press
Yes, it’s opening day!
President Bush made his pitch on
theEastCoastand Nolan Ryan started
his 26th campaign out West. Jack
Morris and the Minnesota Twins picked
up where they left off, and a bunch of
new players were in new places. So
were the Baltimore Orioles.
Baseball began the season Mon
day at 1:09 p.m. EDT in Tiger Sta
dium, where Devon White fouled off
the First pitch from Bill Gullickson.
Four minutes later, the first run scored
when 40-year-old Dave Winfield
singled.
In sold-out stadiums all over, there
was bunting — the red, white and
blue kind in the upper decks, the
suicide-squeeze style on the field —
and there was plenty of optimism.
A crowd of 44,568, including Presi
dent Bush, showed up in Baltimore to
see the Oriole Park at Camden Yards,
which is the newest stadium in the
major leagues.
The ballpark blends modern-day
amenities with old-time flavor, fea

“This Camden Yards, it is beauti

“I wanted to keep it away. Down
and out as they say,” Bush said.
The president also spent some of
the afternoon in the television booth,
doing a little play-by-play as Billy
Ripken grounded out to shortstop.
“What do we got. One-and-one.
Here comes the pitch... gettin’ ready

there to the shortstop, and out he
goes. Six-to-three. Easy play,” Bush
said.

involved in the game, and its only
going to make us better,” Sanders
said.

Cornhusker tournament guest
thwarted by Sooners, Kansas
By Susie Arth
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska softball team came
home from the Big Eight Round Robin
in Stillwater, Okla., empty-handed.
The Comhuskers, who lost twice
to both Oklahoma and Kansas, dropped
to 8-19 on the season and 0-4 in
conference play.
Nebraska coach Ron Wolforth said
in an interview last week that he had
hoped the Huskers could have come
home with a split, and an 0-4 week
end would be disappointing.
Wolforth said the losses did not
create a must-win situation for his
team, but he hoped the losses would
call the team to action.
