Martinez confirms the
expectations, sits down
BOSTON (AP) - Boston Red
Sox ace Pedro Martinez said yester-
day he will miss the rest of the sea-
son with inflammation in his right
shoulder, confirming what had been
expected since the team fell out of
contention.
"I would like to pitch, but there's
nothing I can do," he said while
standing in the Fenway Park stands
in street clothes. "I have to be
smart. There's nothing I can do to
bring the team back."
Martinez will be placed on the 15-
day disabled list and begin rehabili-
tation as soon as the season is
complete, general manager Dan
Duquette said before Boston's game
against the.Tampa Bay Devil Rays
- the team's first since the terrorist
attacks at the Pentagon and World
Trade Center.
"The reason we're playing right
now is probably to try to make peo-
ple forget," Martinez said.
Asked whether he was concerned
about his safety in Fenway Park, he
said: "I don't have any fear. I
always felt safe on a baseball field."
The Red Sox were in first place in
the AL East on June 27, when Mar-
tinez first went on the disabled list.
They were still in contention when
he returned Aug. 26, but he was
clearly not the same pitcher who
won three Cy Young Awards and*
was 7-I with a 1.44 ERA on Memo-
rial Day.
His return couldn't keep the Red
Sox from losing 13 of 14 games
since Aug. 25 to fall 13 games
behind the New York Yankees ins
the AL East and 13.5 games behind
Oakland in the AL wildcard race.
After his last start, on Sept. 7, the'
team said he would not pitch again
unless the Red Sox returned to the
pennant race.

With a core of experienced upperclassmen returning and an exciting
summer behind them, the Michigan women's golf team was eagerly antic-
ipating its first tournament this past weekend - the Fossum Invitational.
The Wolverines were disappointed when the event was canceled, but
understood the decision, and now they're even more anx-
ious to open the season this Friday at the Lady Northern in
Urbana.

Swas supposed to play the Fossum Invitational. One week later, the same
group emerged, but this time Bowers edged out Bezilla.
That tight competition amongst the team is a result of Michigan's
depth. Nearly all of last year's team - which won three tournaments and
competed in the NCAA Regional for the first time in Michigan women's
golf history - is back. The nucleus is formed by the five seniors ,- Reno,
Lemanski, Wicks, Bezilla, an Bowers - who all provide leadership and
set the tone on the course.
"They've worked really hard over four years. They've all come a long
way," Teichert said. "The more they play and the better they play, I've
seen in the way they carry themselves that they're so confident and

The Wolverines are solid all the way down the roster. Benedict, a
junior, starred for the Wolverines last season and is expected to do so
again this year, and true freshman Olin has also shown promise.
The depth "can only make the travel team really work hard. They have
to stay on top of their games to stay in the lineup,"

In the Lady Northern, Michigan will face 15 teams,
including seven others from the Big Ten and a talented
Kent State team. Tomorrow's practice round will have
added importance because none of the Wolverines have
played the links course at Stonecreek Golf Club.

end.
The Wolverines had strong showings in amateur tournaments throughout the
summer, and Benedict and Lemanski excelled. Benedict defeated Lemanski for
the Michigan Women's Amateur title in July, and both players qualified for the
U.S. Amateur. Lemanski survived the 36-hole cut to advance to match play.
Those experiences, coupled with the success of last season, leave Michigan
confident and excited going into its first tournament.
"I feel good about how we're leading into this year," Teichert said. "We have
to see what our players bring to the table now, what our strengths and weak-
nesses are, and then really work on our weaknesses. We have a lot of high
expectations on us this year. "I'm hoping we can be successful."
