Sapulpa wins
its district
tournament
By JOSH TROUTMAN
Herald Sports Editor
STILLWATER — Sapulpa Amcri
can National always makes it interest
mg, even in victory.
Sunday night in the finals of the
district tournament, the squad did it
again.
Sapulpa built a 7-1 lead, allowed
Stillwater to claw back before slam
ming the door en route to a 13-8
victory that advanced American
National to the Legion Majors zone
playoffs.
The victory improved Sapulpa’s
record to 29-8 overall.
After Stillwater cut the lead to 7 6,
Sapulpa put the game out of reach in
the top of the eighth inning.
Frank Kelley, who was named
tournament MVP with two home runs
in the two previous games, and
Derrick Walters both beat out ground
ball* and both advanced a base on a
passed ball.
A little voodoo
Sapulpa pulled its voodoo doll to
look over the team Sunday night In
Stillwater. Not to be a slouch, Joe-
boo as he is named, sports a tie
while lurking near the on-deck
circle. (Herald Staff Photo by

Kelley scored on another passed
ball. After Shibley, who homcrcd in
the top of the third, drew a walk, Matt
Bennett doubled to the rightficld
wall, scoring Walters.
With Mitch Wade at the plate.
Sapulpa head coach Dennis Goad
called for the suicide squeeze and
Shibley broke for the plate with the
delivery.
When the pitch came inside as
Wade squared to bunt, he was forced
to make any kind of contact, to
protect not only the at-bat and a
charging Shibley, but himself as well.
The ball was hit foul and Wade
then slapped a tapper to the third
baseman who threw home in an
attempt to gun down Shibley.
It appeared Shibley would be a
silting duck, but an elusive slide left
the Stillwater catcher tagging nothing
but air.
Roy Hanna then looped a Texas
Leaguer to rightficld, driving in
Bennett and Wade.
Sapulpa added one in the top of the
ninth when Kelley’s sacrifice fly to
ccntcrficld scored the speedy Cham
bers, who had reached on a stand up
triple.
Kelley, who has been on a tear
which included four home runs in
three games going in, started the first
inning with a double that dropped fair
down the lcftficld line.
Walters and Bennett both slapped
singles between the shortstop and
third baseman which accounted for a
2-0 Sapulpa lead.
In the second, Kelley drove in
Hanna with a liner to left.
Leading off the third, Shibley took
a 1-2 pitch over the left centerficld
wall to give Sapulpa a 4-1 lead.
Steve Bilby drove in Bennett when
he slapped a double to ccntcrfield.
Meanwhile, Sapulpa starter Shane
Wiles was making the money pitches
when he needed them. Through three
innings, he had allowed only one hit
and struck out four.
In the third, Stillwater had runners
in the comers but Wiles mowed the
next two batters down via the K.
In the fourth, Wiles hit a batter to
load the bases, only to punch out the
next batter to kill the rally and end the
inning.
He pitched a full six, striking out
seven, before yielding to Wade, who
pitched the next two innings.
Shawn Simmons recorded the final
three outs in the ninth.
Sapulpa will now face. Mid-
Continent in the zone playoffs. Exact
dates and times have yet to be
determined.

What is it about
the U.S.
By JIM LITRE
AP Sports Writer
The U.S. Open does strange things
to people.
Every lime someone wades deep
into par-denial at one of these events,
every time a golfer goes where no
golfer has gone before, the poor soul
winds up where the rankest hackers go
all the time: to some watering hole, for
a few stiff drinks and a lot of
commiseration.
Presumably, that’s where Helen
Alfredsson was headed Sunday after
stepping off the 18th green at the Old
Course at Indianwood Golf and Coun-
try Club. It was there that she missed
one more short par putt for a 77, a
regrettably fitting conclusion to one of
the most remarkable collapses the
sport has ever seen.
“There are no words for something
like this,” she said, “for when things
turn around for no apparent reason.”
“Turned around,” though, is much
too gentle a description for what actu-
ally happened.
Alfredsson started the champion-
ship with an 8 under-par 63 — by two
shots the best round ever posted in a
women’s major — and came back
Friday with a 69 to claim another Open
record. After carding consecutive
birdies at Nos. 5, 6 and 7 on Saturday,
she was at 13-under, floating in the
most rarefied air any U.S. Open
competitor, man or woman, has ever
known.
Over the next 18 holes, from the
Open?
eighth tee Saturday to the eighth tee
Sunday, Alfredsson used 85 strokes,
losing 14 to par in every way
imaginable.
On those occasions when she didn’t
find the rough off the tee, she hit
approach shots that couldn’t find the
ocean from die beach. She left at least
one bunker shot Sunday on the beach
for good measure, and even when she
finally reached the greens, Alfredsson
butchered more 3-and 4-foolers than
some slaughterhouses attempt in a
single afternoon.
That was the most painful part of the
spectacle: watching her putt. Twice,
Alfredsson needed 3 strokes from
inside five feet; the second time, it
became necessary after stabbing her
first attempt 12 feet past the hole.
“1 can’t explain where it came
from,” Alfredsson said, as though the
hand she wound up playing actually
belonged to someone else. “Some-
times this game really tests the
patience. ’ ’
And never moreso than in the Open.
Patty Sheehan, who steered clear of
Alfrcdsson’s wreck to claim her
second U.S. Open in the past three
years, knows the feeling only too well.
In 1990, she became the first to break
through the mystical baiTier of
1O-undcr after two rounds, and entered
territory no one ever had in all the
previous national championships
staged on these shores. And once on
the other side, there seemed to be no
limit.
