Yankees takes opener David Goliath Yankees fall to Twins despite recent dominance in series NEW VORK (AP) — Instead of ' getting tight when Johaii Santana cramped up the Minnesota Twins stayed loose Playing a postseason game in Yan- -' kee Stadium for the first time the Twins were guarding a one-ru- n lead in the fifth inning when their pitcher suddenly couldn’t go to the mound for the bottom half “One thing you don't do is show panic in the dugouL”'Minnesoa manager Ron Gardenhire said “So I just said ’Well let's have some fun We are going to piece it together’ And that’s what we did”

little guys who take a ng 3-- So the Aggigs have established they really are not the worst Division I football school in the country The 28-1- 0 win over Louisiana-Monro- e last Saturday should put an end to Sprats Illustrated’ preseason 117th ranking Utah State head coach Mick Dennehy even took a shot at SI when discussing the need for improved facilities during his weekly press conference Monday “Some of our facilities are proba- bly the worst in the country maybe that is what Sports Illustrated was talking about” Dennehy said putting them” Minnesota's Jacque Jones said New York was favored in last year’s division series too before Anaheim won in four games to end a run of four consecutive AL pen- nants The Yankees have dropped four straight postseason games for the first time since the

ttie y celebrate their While the general feeling around the Aggie camp was good Monday and Tuesday after picking up their first victory there is still work to be done Now it’s time to go on the road and win a game That isn't as easy as it may sound USU is 0--3 on the road this year and 4-under Dennehy away from Romney Stadium 17 “If we are going logo down there and win a game on the road which has got to be a priority something that we have to do that we are going to have to take ahother step forward and play about a well as we can play” Dennehy said Then there is the fact that this Saturday's game at New Mexico is not a league one In fact the next two aren'L “It would be nice to have league games the rest of the way” Dennehy said ” But we are still going to approach each game one at a time We need to get better each week so in that respect it makes no difference who we play We just need to go on the road and win on the road" The last time the Aggies visited Albuquerque back in 1998 the Lobos escaped with a triple-overtiwin 39-3- 6 Last year USU beat New Mexico at Romney Stadium id overtime 45-4- 4 when a Lobo kicker missed an extra point If the Aggies really want to prove SI wrong a win this weekend would go a long way They didn't give us much respect last year after we beat them in overtime” USU center Aric Galliano said “It will be a fun game that I'm excited to play” See HARRISON on B3 |
