Action took place last week at tstop TUCSON BASERUNNER i fa -- '.fa' '. rvFsifa V .C"'' fa-- During the off season, Milt lives in Mayaguez, Puero Rico, where he was born. He lives with his wife Maria, a daughter Teresa 5, and Milt Jr. 4. He began playing ball at an early age, and after high school decided to play professionally. Milt first signed with the Baltimore Orioles while playing in the Pan American league. Later, in various ' ' " S' $ fa-- ,4' u W player deals, he was traded first to St. Louis and later Kansas City where he played out his contract and became a free agent in 1976. After becoming a free agent, he returned to Venezuela to play ball and there met Rene Lachman, now the manager for Spokane, who brought him to the Oakland organization. He played Triple A ball in San Jose Calif., until called up by the parent team and played in Oakland for 3'i months. He was sent to Ogden in 1979 when the Ogden franchise was formed to give the club needed strength and depth, a job Jose feels he has done very well. When hes not playing ball, Milt enjoys a little golf with his teammates or relaxing at home listening to music. Milt feels very strongly toward Ogden and the As team. There is a close Family feeling in the locker room, and the people hes met here have made hiim feel at home..

That could easily be the motto of the hard charging infielder of the Ogden As. Whether its making a last effort dive to grab a hard hit ball and rob the opposition of a base hit, or causing sleepless nights for the opposing pitchers, Milts fearless style of play adds excitement to the game. The 30 year old right hander, plays 3rd base, 2nd or shortstop equally well, but prefers short because of the challenge. During a game, he might well start at 3rd, move to short, and later back to 3rd, depending on the situations that arise and the defensive strategy of the manager, Jose Pagan. fa ,fa tywf 4'' fa i'-V- t& ' ' 1 'I ..fa s -- ; Carr , !;; fa . ... ... fafafafa ; ejMiMwwinfH John Affleck Park where Ogden dropped three games to the Toros, This week the As are on the road. Tucson turns back Ogden three times, as As try to find better luck on the road By Wally Carr When youre hot youre hot and the Tticson Toros were hot as they came from behind in all three games for a sweep of the series in the recent Ogden As homestand. The recent rains created havoc .with the playing field turning the infield into a quagmire and the outfield was reminescent of a Florida swamp. Too much credit cannot be given the groundskeepers who spent many long hours drying out the infield and getting it in a playable condition. Despite their efforts the soft spongy ground created problems for the players, as the spongy ground absorbed the impact ot hit balls, and the errors were marked up on both sides as balls that should bounce didnt and scooted safely by unsuspecting players used to playing on firmer surface. In the first game Sunday the fans were treated to a spectacular 410 foot a homer by the As designated hitter Tim Hosley that drove in three runs. Again in the second game, Tim hit a picture fly ball that cleared the fence., for a solo run. Combined with As problems with relief pitching in the late innings of both games of the double hitter, were some outrageous calls by the umpires. The first occurred in the top half of 'the twin set, as first baseman Mark Budaska, was drawn off the bag by a bad throw, and although he tagged the runner coming down, the base umpire ruled him safe. You cant fight city hall, but Mark tried, and only the prompt intervention by Ogden manager Jose Pagan prevented Mark from being ejected. Problems occurred again in the second game, first a close call at second and later at third, when the umpires apparently feeling a kinship with Tucson could find no fault and awarded them the bag. The benches on both sides emptied in the 2nd game when the As popular catcher Pat Dempsey was hit by a pitched ball who then headed toward the mound for a talk with the' Tepid Toros pitcher. Cool heads prevailed and no trouble developed. The capper to the whole series developed in the last inning of the second game with1 Ogden down by one run. Milt Ranlariz, the fiesty infielder came to bat with one out and one man on base. His first attempt at a sacrifice bunt was nullified when his textbook bunt down the first base line was booted foul by the Tucson catcher, who then feigned innocence as the umpire, his vision blocked by home plate, missed the action and ruled it foul. This brought immediate reaction from the fans who loudly berated the umps ability and suggested in colorful terms other forms of employment. On the next pitch Milt again bunts, this one rolling foul of its own accord but the fans were not to be mollified and continued to express their frustration and displeasure. The nome plate umpire, now visibly upset walked back to the screen behind home plate to eject the organist for of three-blind-mic- e. . The As left Monday for a three week road trip to Spokane, Tacoma and Phoenix. They will return Thursday, June 5, for a homestand with Tacoma, game time will be 7:45 p.m. Sunday May 18 First Game Tucson 7 runs, 10 hits, 1 error, 8 men left on base; Ogden 4 runs, 5 hits, 1 error, 9 men left on base. Second Game Tuscon, 7 runs, 9 hits, 1 errors, 5 men L.O.B. ; Ogden 6 runs, 8 hits, 4 errors, 6 men L.O.B.

The Eagles captured only three first-plac- e trophies, but edged North Ogden, 93 to 91, and the Knights finished first in four events. In a bit of irony, Sand Ridge had winners (five), than more first-plac- e in the tournament, yet team other any finished way down in fifth place. Scorpion Richard Davis swept both the 100 and 200 meter dashes in record time, and teamed up with Todd Vigil, Brett Loftus and Rodney Jex to set a new record in the 440 yard dash. The old record dated back to 1976, when another team from Sand Ridge got into the books. Other winners for Sand Ridge included Maclnnes in the shot-p(44T0) and Rod Thurgood in the 400 meter dash (53.6). North Ogdens Cory Swenson thrilled the crowd with a leap of 65 to establish a new record in the high jump. Bjeliand of South Ogden was first in the discus (1116). Keith Atkinson won the 110 meter hurdles (14.2), while teammate Craig Koseff was winning the 1600 meter run in a time of 4:51.4, and the Eagle Mile Mcdely relay team took first in that event. An 880 yard relay team from ut . North Ogden finished first in that event. Roy Juniors Ray Brown long jumped 195 for a blue ribbon, and pole vaulter Lenny Worthington to set a new Red Skin cleared 10-- 7 record. North Ogden Ladies Win In the ladies divison, North Ogden 104 points to easily outdistance T.H. Bell (58), Wahlquist (56), Valley (48), South Ogden (41) Roy (31) and Sand Ridge (28). Joy Jackson of Wahlquist took first place honors in both the 46 meter dash and the 100 meter dash. amassed |
