Unusual hits help American League
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — The American League found a crack at Camden Yards.
The nooks and crannies of baseball's most popular park swallowed up home runs by Kirby Puckett and Roberto Alomar, and even a double by Ivan Rodriguez, to help the Americans to their sixth straight All-Star victory, 9-3, last night.
AL manager Cito Gaston got big efforts from Alomar and Devon White. But NL manager Bobby Cox saw his players out-performed by Toronto's. John Ssmoltz threw a pair of run-scoring wild pitches and David Justice and Jeff Blauer made errors that set up runs.
Yards and the 100th sellout since the stadium opened last year, got to admire some of the stadium's quirky, old-time features.
A crowd of 48,147,the largest at Camden
Gary Sheffield's two-run homer in the first inning off Mark Langston landed barely inside the oddly angled left-field wall, just over the Crown gasoline sign. Puckett's homer over the center-field fence settled into the middle of a small sod farm, shy of the ivy-covered backdrop.
But, with the smoke from Boog Powell's barbecue stand beginning to billow up from Eutaw Street in right, in front of the BBQ warehouse, the most unusual hit in recent All-Star play came in the fifth inning.
The score was tied at 2 when Rodriguez led off against John Burkett with a line drive to left field. Barry Bonds ran back, and could only hit a ground ball in the padded fence for a ground-rule double.
Puckett earned Most Valuable Player honors for the first time in his career.
Sampson, Scott play for U.S. basketball squads
Kansan staff report
Two Kansas basketball players have helped lead their respective teams to success in international competition.
Charisse Sampson, a sophomore guard for the Kansas women's team, helped a squad of college players earn a bronze medal in the R. William Jones Cup, held in Taipei, Taiwan. Kansas men's team senior forward Richard Scott is helping the World University Game's team coast through the preliminary rounds by an average margin of victory more than 20 points.
Sampson averaged 7.9 points per game for the U.S. team, which lost its first (two) games in the tournament.
The U.S. defeated Russia 71-69 in the bronze medal game July 4 and finished the tournament with a 5-2 record.
Sampson averaged 21 minutes a game and led all team members in steals with 20. She also averaged 5 rebounds a game.
She led the U.S. in scoring once and rebounding twice during the team's seven games. She shot 42.5 percent from the floor and 60 percent from two-point range. She was 13 of 20 from the free-throwline.
Sampson was a Big Eight Conference Honorable Mention selection during her freshman season last year.
At the World University Games, Scott led the U.S. men's basketball team to a 93-64 victory against Ireland.
Scott led the United States with 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting from the field and a perfect 5 of 14 at the free throw line. Carlos Rogers of Tennessee State added 13 points and Sharone Wright of Clemson had 11.
"We have to be pleased with the outcome," Ireland coach Enda Bert said. "It was a decent test for the United States."
Frank Powell, who played at Holy Cross and is one of eight American college players on the Irish roster, finished with 17 points.
The U.S. team is now 3-0 in the competition and the favorite to win the gold medal
