Mountain View went ahead 1 in the 27th minute of that half when Jesica Hardy headed Benson's corner kick into the goal mouth and an Alta player inadvertently knocked it in. "I told coach Lee Mitchell this felt like a playoff game," said Bruin coach Mike LaHargoue. "It for us to stay was a must-wi- n home during the playoffs. We still have three huge games in five left, but to beat Alta this year on what's supposed to be a rebuilding year is big for us." Mountain View improved to 2 while Alta dropped to Bengals 8, Timberwolves 0 Pardis Ariazaid and Mindi Johns each scored two goals for Timpanogos, Brighton, now which hasn't scored in the last seven games, slipped to 0-Beetdiggers 3, Cavemen 0 Kristina Burris scored twice for American Fork Jordan, now dropped to but one starter. But those guys Dan Griffeth, Kyle Karren, Nick Jones, Jay Dixon and Eli Roberthave stepped up and have son been the key to our success." A lot of football season remains, of course, but Hampton plans to keep busy all year. Following the football season, he'll move to basketball. And, in the spring, he'll turn his attention to baseball. "It's good for you to play more than one sport," said the senior. "It keeps that drive in you and makes you want to win a lot." Once his senior year is over, Hampton wouldn't mind moving on to collegiate football. "I want to go to the University of Utah," Hampton said. "I really like their program. But I wouldn't mind going to BYU either." According to Kelepolo, the collegiate option is realistic. "I feel he has the ability to go on although he'll have to beef up a little bit," Kelepolo said. For now, though, there's the matter of a tough Region Eight schedule. The Dons open at Provo tonight. LOBOS: intensity. BYU had very little last week in a loss to Washington. UNM always plays very intense, especially against the Cougars the past four years. INJURY UPDATE: Cougar defensive tackle Dare.) Yancey (concussion) is doubtful Saturday.

"She (Hunsberger) has been working on that play all season," said coach Mike Winn. "The thing I was most pleased with is the way we're starting to come together.

"I have no complaints," said Springville coach Carolee Streep-e- r. "I think Timpview is playing with a lot more fire now than they were earlier in the season.

Baltimore not only failed, the Orioles nearly got swept themselves. In the big AL West series, the e Mariners completed a rout of Texas, winning 6 at the Kingdome on Thursday to move e within two games of the Rangers. The Yankees, meanwhile, split a doubleheader, winning 3 and losing 10-- 9 to maintain a e lead in the AL East. "I think everybody in here was thinking it was possible to catch these guys," Seattle reliever Norm Charlton said after getting his second save in less than 24 hours. "The guys who won here saw what happened last year." As a refresher for those who forgot, the Mariners overcame a 12 12-gadeficit on Aug. 20 last e season and beat California in a playoff for the division title. This year's comeback has been even more stunning, with Seattle gaining seven games in the standings in eight days. As recently as Sept. 11, the Mariners trailed Texas by nine games. "This is as much adversity as we've faced all year," Rangers manager Johnny Oates said. Seattle outscored Texas 23-1- 0 during the series and outhit the Rangers 40-2g "We're down to we're and now right time, right four-gam7-- first-plac- twi-nig- ht 9-- four-gam- one-gam- 3. nail-bitin- there in it," said winning pitcher Tim Davis ), who allowed one run in three innings.

At Yankee Stadium, Baltimore could have pulled within two games with a doubleheader sweep loss a following its night earlier. But Kenny Rogers (11-8- ) pitched 5 3 shutout innings in the opener and Wade Boggs went "We were the ones with the three-gam- e lead coming in, and we added to it," New York manager Joe Torre said.

The combination of the Padres' 0 loss to Los Angeles and Montreal's 1 victory over Atlanta on Thursday has suddenly put San Diego into a tough position as the baseball races head toward the final days. surroundPlaying in playoff-lik- e ings at home, the Padres had a chance to overtake the Dodgers for first in the West. But at the end of the day, they not only dropped 1 12 games behind LA, but also a percentage point behind Montreal in the battle for the NL wild-car- d spot. In beating the Braves, the Expos advanced on two fronts. Not only did they move ahead of the Padres in the wild-car- d chase, but. also moved within five games of Atlanta in the NL East.
