Rivers Breaks Out of Slump for Yankees Win
Reggie Rivers powered the Yankees to a 5 3 victory at Dodger Stadium to take a 2 1 World Series lead over the Dodgers. He doubled in the first and second innings, scored on a Piniella single, and added a fourth inning RBI as New York revived its title chase amid clubhouse tensions and media scrutiny. Rivers, once 0 for 10, showed he can set the tone alongside stars like Jackson and Chambliss, while team manager Billy Martin sought unity following recent controversy.

Switzer reprimands Daily Oklahoman reporter over coverage
Regis McAuley notes Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer publicly rebuked a Daily Oklahoman reporter who refused to cover a story at Switzer's request. The column argues coaches hide injuries to mislead opponents, contrasting with Pete Rozelle's NFL rule requiring timely injury status reports to the league, papers, wires, and rivals.
