Braves one win closer
to World Series title
CLEVELAND (AP) - Even the At
lanta Braves will be hard-pressed to
blow this.
The Braves, with Steve Avery start
ing ahead of Greg Maddux, moved
within one victory of the World Series
championship that always has eluded
them, beating the Cleveland Indians 5
2 Wednesday night for a 3-1 lead.
Atlanta, whose postseason history
is filled with failure, could not ask for
a better position.
Now Maddux, held back a day to
rest, can clinch it Thursday night in
Game 5 against Orel Hershiser.
The Braves broke open a 1-1 tie
with three runs in the seventh. Luis
Polonia’s go-ahead double chased
Ken Hill, and David Justice hit a two
out, two-run single off Paul
Assenmacher.
“It felt really good because we
needed that because we know what
kind of team Cleveland has,” Justice
said. “The more runs we get ahead of
them, the better for us.”

be over at the beginning of the sec
ond game, but with the Huskers lead
ing 4-0, the Jayhawks reeled off five
straight points behind the play of
sophomore outside hitter Leslie
Purkeypile.
A kill by Cmich tied the second
game at five, and Nebraska never
trailed again. Reitsma served the
game’s final four points, and Jen
McFadden and Weston combined for
a block to end the second game.
McFadden, who has been ham

pered by a lingering knee injury from
last season, started the match Wednes
day, her first start of the season. Pettit
said earlier this week that the junior
from Dubuque, Iowa, had been show
ing significant improvement in prac
tice.
In the third game, the Huskers led
2-0 before surrendering five straight
points. Led by Weston, Nebraska re
sponded by scoring eight straight
points. Kansas battled back to cut the
lead to 10-8, but Nebraska scored the
match’s final five points. With
Johnson serving, Reitsma pounded a
kill off the Jayhawk block to end the
match.

After losing Erstad, Sanders said
that senior outfielders Francis
Collins, Mel Motley and Matt
Meyer, and sophomore outfielder
Scott Schultz had stepped in well
during the fall.
First baseman Todd Sears, who
will be one of 66 players to com
pete at the USA Baseball national
trials today, also performed well,
Sanders said.
Another standout effort came
from senior pitcher Sergio
Betancourt, who took advantage
of the small roster size and show
cased his hitting ability.
The pitching staffs success,
however, ended in the batter’s box.
“I wasn’t real happy with our
pitching,” Sanders said. “We’ve
got a lot of work to do there. Our
pitching staff right now is not very
good, to be perfectly blunt about
it.”
Sanders said the development
of the pitching staff would dictate
how well the Huskers did in the
spring.
“That will be the key to our
season,” he said. “It will take some
hard work, and we’ll have to pitch
smarter, just do some things better
in general. That will be the key to
our season, no question about it. It
always comes down to pitching.”
The Huskers also will have to
work hard to replace the four play
ers who were drafted. Erstad was
selected by the California Angels
as the first pick in the draft, and
Shepherd was picked by Baltimore.
Dalton also was picked by Cali
fornia, and Craig Sanders was cho
sen by Kansas City.
“There are a lot of good players
that we’ve lost,” Sanders said.
“How will we respond? We’ll let
you know in June.”
Media pick

to place fourth
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska men’s basket
ball team was picked to finish
fourth in the Big Eight by the
media.
Kansas was picked to win
the conference, picking up 576
of a possible 590 first-place
votes.

their run. ! »
“They’re a great rushing team,
probably the best in the country. But
we’ve faced good backs this season.
I don’t know if we’ve played against
a line as good as Nebraska’s, but
we’ve played some tough competi
tion.”
Among that competition was
Heisman Trophy candidate Leeland
McElroy of Texas A&M, and the
nation’s leading rusher, Iowa State’s
Troy Davis, who rushed for 203 yards
last week against Colorado.
“He (Davis) was a great back,”
Jones said. “It was great for us to play
him last week, and then have Ne
braska this week. He’s the real deal.
It’ll help us this week after trying to
stop a guy like-him.”
Jones, who was a second team All
Big Eight pick last year, said Colo
rado might benefit from taking a more
relaxed approach to Nebraska.
“It’s still a big game for us, but it
just isn’t played up like it used to be,”
he said. “The red letters have been
taken off the schedule. We just take it
one game at a time now, and now it’s
Nebraska week. Last week, it was
Iowa State week.”
An extraordinary encounter
with another human being.
