Radinsky, Milstien Head for Instructional League

Former Simi Valley players Scott Radinsky and Dave Milstien have been invited to play in the Florida Instructional League, which begins Sept. 17. Radinsky, currently pitching for the Chicago White Sox rookie league team in Sarasota, Fla. has had his playing time limited by injuries suffered in a car accident three weeks ago.

“He’s had a back problem from the accident,” said Steve Noworyta, assistant director of player development for the White Sox. “But he’s coming back now. Anytime a kid gets invited to the instructional league, it’s a positive sign.

Milstien plays shortstop for the Boston Red Sox rookie league team in Elmira, N.Y. “We only take our better young players to the league,” said ed Kenney, Red Sox farm director. “He’s playing shortstop for us. As of Aug. 6, he was hitting .182, but he’s picked up his hitting lately.” Northridge Diver to Represent U.S.

Defending Southwestern champion Oklahoma State will miss the tournament because the Cowboys will be playing in a tournament at Ohio State, the site of the 1987 NCAA national championship. Houston, last year’s runner-up will also play at Ohio State.

Southwestern’s 54-hole format includes 36 holes on the first day of competition and 18 holes the final day.

Former individual winners include Corey Pavin and USC’s Sam Randolph. Last year, Brian Watts of Oklahoma State beat Randolph in a sudden-death playoff. NOTABLE
