the wayside last week when the Santo Domingo Blue Jays of the Dominican League won their 35th straight game memThe Dominican League is a Professional of Association National of the ber Baseball Clubs which oversees all of the minor leagues So the new record is official "It qualifies by our standards" NAPBC spokesman Larry Wiederecht said Thursday "The Do oles F-- 1 card-carryin- All the while Streak Fever was building in Salt Lake City By the time the climactic weekend came along it had reached a crescendo "The atmosphere at Derks was Van Schley "But that '87 team had a camaraderie that was unique" "Every time the game was on the line we came up with a big inning to put the game out of reach" said Gilligan who now coaches at Lamar University "If there was ever any pressure they never showed it" The Streak began on June 25 with a 12-- victory over the Pocatello Gems at Derks It gathered steam through the end of June and got serious in when the Trappers neared the Pioneer League record of 19 straight wins Once that mark was eclipsed (at Idaho Falls on July 16) the Traps began eyeing the professional record of 27 consecutive wins held by the 1902 Corsicana (Texas) Oilers and the 1921 Baltimore Oh completely different those last four or five days" said former general manager Stcve Pearson "For the weekend series with Pocatello it was spectacular" With sellout crowds and a large contingent of national media on hand the Traps won No 27 on July 24 with a whipping of the Gems They made the record their own the next night by bludgeoning Pocatello 13-- before 9968 — many of whom had to buy tickets from scalpers to get in After a long night of partying a hung-ove- r bunch of Trappers managed to beat the Gems again on Sunday for win No 29 ) But The Streak ended the next 6

the athletic department marketing director at Weber State "The night we finally lost I remember them flashing the score on ABC's Monday night baseball game and Al Michaels talking about us That just

personnel Outfielder Bobby Benjamin and infielder John Calarco were released to help make room for Ramirez and outfielder John THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE JD Ramirez and the Salt Lake Trappers re- turned home at about the same time Ramirez a member of the 1989 Trappers had three hits in his first three Thursday night to lift Salt Lake to an 11-- win over the Idaho Falls Gems in a Pioneer League game at Derks Field The win was the Trappers second straight and was a fine welcome home after a seven-daroad on trip through Montana Salt Lake is now the season and hosts Idaho Falls again tonight at "Guys like Ramirez know what it's all about" said Trappers manager Nick Belmonte "At this point of the season we want to get guys where we don't have any questions of their ability" Ramirez's addition showed immediately The Trappers fell behind entering the bottom of the first inning Then after suffering from hitting problems during most of the road trip the bats came alive Pookie Wilson started the inning with a single Then Ramirez and Bill Vosik both singled to tie the game Tim Clark doubled Kevin McMullen walked and one out later Tim Rigsby reached on an error George Baker then delivered the big hit with a three-rudouble "We were able to stick a few hits together" Belmonte said "But it was really Baker's hit that busted it open "1 almost didn't start George" Belmonte add 6 y 0 20-1- 2 7 "I felt right at home It was like I never left" said Ramirez who went on to play in the Montreal Expos organization before giving up baseball temporarily to earn his teaching certificate "Coming up back here gives me a chance to stay alive in baseball" he added "And maybe win a championship" Ramirez hopes to make enough noise with the independent Trappers to sign a contract with a Mexican League

held out of a three-gam- e series in Oakland "When they put my name in the lineup I'll go out and do the best I can do" Vetarde said Thursday after homering in the 10th inning and collecting a pair of douvicbles in New York's tory at Seattle "I'm not a controversial guy who demands this or demands that "When you're not playing you try to take a lot of extra hitting and make the best out of it" Velarde's fourth homer of the year came off Russ Swan who failed to hold a ) lead in the ninth — his first blown save of the year It was the Mariners' sixth loss in a row equaling their season high fastball Velarde hit a seats He into the was not thinking home run "That's not my style" he I was looksaid "But at ing for a ball I could drive and I got one" "You have to throw a strike in that situation" Swan said "He hit a good pitch in a bad location" the third Tim Burke ) Yankees' pitcher worked the ninth and John Habyan pitched the 10th for his seventh save The Yankees tied the game when Mike Stanley grounded a two-ou- t single past shortstop scoring Roberto Kelly from third Stanley's hit prevented starter Dave Fleming from beating New York for the third time this season "He's a quality pitcher but I don't think he was quite in his as sharp velocity-wis- e other two starts against us this year" Yankees manager Buck Showalter said The Yankees said a defensive play by first baseman Don Mattingly in the bottom of the ninth turned the game around On a sacrifice bunt attempt by Shane Turner with Edgar Martinez on first and none out Mattingly fielded the ball about 30 feet up the line and threw Martinez out at second Shortstop Andy Stankiewiez touched second and threw out Turner at first for the Yankees' third double play of the game "Donnie just bounced on it" Burke said "That's why he's the best first baseman in the league" "I like making that play" Mattingly said "I enjoy playing defense It's like getting a h 5-- 4 4-- 3 (3-6- 3-- 1 left-fiel- d 3-- 1 (2-1- H R
