He tied thenal Roundup touchdown record shared by Bob Shaw of the Chicago cardinals and Kellen Winslow of the san Diego chargers. Neither Montana nor Rice seemed Overly impressed. Montana rated his performance a on and off. At times i played pretty Well but i did no to feel like i played up to the Standard of the super bowl. I was up and  Rice a had a decent game today. But i done to compare games. I done to think i made two mistakes in the super bowl. Today i made four or  Montana and Rice picked on cornerback Charles dimly throughout the game. A a he a a great defensive Back but it is one on one coverage and the defensive Back does no to know where in a going a Rice said. A my Confidence level is not shaken a Dimry said. A a in a just Down because i had a bad Day. Rice is a total package and great All around  Montana who completed 32 of 49 passes also threw a 43-Yard scoring pass to Mike Sherrard.

But Pittsburgh triumphed 34davis can t shoulder reds Load by Joseph Durso Cincinnati not a Eric Davis the Symbol and probably the Hope of the Cincinnati reds stood alongside the batting Cage near Home plate two Days before the world series and admitted his wrenched left shoulder a limits me probably by 70 percent of my Normal  a few Yards away reds manager Lou Piniella was reciting his Basic plans for the series which opens in riverfront stadium Here tuesday night with the reds facing the Oakland athletics. The reds will pitch Jose Rijo in the opening game Danny Jackson in the second and Tom Browning in the third. Piniella was asked about Jack Armstrong who probably ranks next to Davis As the casualty of the season. Armstrong had an 8-1 record with an earned run average of 1.55 going into june and he was the starting Pitcher for the National league in the All Star game. But after that nothing. He won just one game in the rest of july and Only one in August and sat out most of september with a sore right Elbow. In the playoff he was the missing  series previews on Page 25 a i considered putting Armstrong Back in the rotation for the series a Piniella said. A but we be been going with a three Man rotation for a while and there a no reason to change now. I told Jack that id try to use him in Long  the reds will use the switch hitting Todd Benzinger As the designated hitter when the series moves to the american league Ball Park. And they Are giving a some consideration a but not much to making Davis the Lead off hitter to reduce the demands on his limited Power. A a Oakland a the Best team in baseball a Piniella said. A i know they swept san Francisco last year in the world series. I know they swept Boston this year in the playoff. A but i done to feel they can dominate the world series against us. I feel confident. We were in first place every Day of the season. We won our playoff against Pittsburgh. No i done to see them dominating it at  having touched those bases Piniella finally got around to his main Man and his main problem Davis the reds leading player for the last five years and their leading casualty this year. The 28-year-old Center fielder sprained the ligaments in his right knee on april 24, and did no to play for 25 Days. Three months later he was still hitting Only .224 and was playing left Field to soften the Strain on the knee. Then he suddenly broke Loose with the old time flair and hit .357 with nine Home runs from late August until late september. But in the final week of the season on sept. 27, he crashed onto his left shoulder while making a stunning catch against the Atlanta braves. He ended the season with 24 Home runs and knocked in 86 runs but he was hurting. A the had bad Knees anyway a Piniella said. A the played with bad Knees most of the season. But the shoulder really limits  a because the shoulder limits me a Davis said a a in be had to adjust at the plate. I opened my stance a Lite. Not As much As Jose Canseco did. I also lowered my hands. I done to raise them and drop them and pop the Ball. Now i just try to swing through the Ball. A Power i done to even think Power anymore. I
