Show Wednesday, Jane 28, The Summer Chronicle 1995 INTRAMURAL REPORT. from page 11 DAVE HOSICK BY 10 leagues and play and we should stay down here " The Buzz batters made an impression on their big league counterparts by jumping out to a lead. The first run came on an RBI single by Riccardo Ingram. Brian Raabe scored the second on a wild pitch by Keith Linebarger, who was Ft. Myers to called up from Single-make the start for the Twins. Buzzman Steve Hazlett slapped in a pair of RBI doubles to give the Buzz a 0 lead. Neither double was hit off a Minnesota staff pitcher, but Hazlett was enthusiastic about showing Twins manager Tom Kelly what he was capable of. "To have two doubles, regardless who it was off of, is a positive," Hazlett said. "If my grandma would have been out there (pitching) it would've still been positive because I got good wood on the ball." The Twins attempted a rally late in the game, scoring a pair of runs on Pedro Munoz's single in the eighth inning. Kevin Maas provided more drama when his ninth inning solo home run put the score at Buzz reliever Bill Wissler ended the exhibition game by forcing his 2-- 0 first-innin- g A 4-- 4-- former teammate Chip Hale to ground out. Not only did they take the loss, but the Twins sluggers also played the exhibition game on what should have been their only day off during a road trip. "In honesty, we would rather have had the day off," Kelly said. "But everything worked out fine. It was a fun day." 14-ga- Said former Buzzman Scott Stahoviak: "I think it was good for the city of Salt Lake and it was definitely good for me to come back and see my friends and coaches." Vazquez from page 1 0 seems that everything is going wrong. Attendance is down 25 percent from last year. Even the most successful team at the ticket gate, the Toronto Blue Jays, is drawing over 10,000 fans less per game than last year. The Minnesota Twins on the other hand, have been outdrawn by the Buzz on certain nights. Some of the game's greatest superstars have been lost to injury, in a season when they are needed most Fan favorites Ken Griffey Jr., Matt Williams, Gary Sheffield, and others, have lost significant playing time due to injuries. The stars who arc healthy, such as Barry Bonds, and Tony Gwynn are not playing up to their potential. Meanwhile, players are having career years (Baseball does not need Kevin Seitzer or Jose Offerman to win a batting tide in 1995). Then there are the attitudes of the players and owners. In a season where they should be doing everything possible to win back fans, The Chicago White Sox are musing autograph sessions and the Cincinnati Reds are raising ticket prices. There are a lot of people, like myself, who are think baseball is getting what it deserves. However, it would be a shame for a game which has survived two world wan and a depression to be ruined by a bad crop of players who think a $12 million salary is not enough The University's outdoor recreation has scheduled a pair of runs on the Weber River, a rafting trip in Desolation Canyon and a Westwater reservation deposit of $5 and the trip will be limited to six participants.

Las Vegas tourism officials say they will use the game and the WAC basketball tournaments to lure tourists from the other 15 conference cities.

Benson came to Las Vegas on Tuesday to make the formal announcement of the award. "It's an opportunity to showcase WAC football on national television in front of a sold out stadium," Benson said. DiEdwardo said the key to winning the bid was the city's ability to guarantee the conference $1 million for each of the games. The football championship is a new event for the WAC, which is expanding to 16 teams beginning next year. UNLV, which has played in the Big West Conference, is among the new members. hi 3 I 1 i ii 1 1 Ji ' I 8 I l i I 1 FOD MORE INFORMATION I mm I Soccer I I I W l W Basketball Outdoor Vinnie Open Golf Classic Scramble Moonlight Golf 3-on- -3 n 1 v A ' 'ft 1 I r I J i" r i V !
