American City Racing League Makes Stop at Cajon Speedway Tonight

San Diego will try to improve on its seventh-place standing when the Firestone American City Racing League makes a stop at Cajon Speedway in El Cajon tonight at 7:30.

The league consists of three-car teams from 11 cities. This is the seventh stop on the 10-city circuit. Las Vegas is the current team leader.

Drivers and teams receive points based on their finish in the Pro Sports 2000, two-seat cars that reach speeds of 160 m.p.h.

SOCCER

A Baltimore businessman with intentions of bringing the NFL back announced he will purchase the MISL Baltimore Blast in an attempt to keep the team from folding and further tarnishing the city’s sports image.

Edwin Hale, 42, also announced that longtime associate and former Baltimore Colts linebacker Stan White would be the team’s next general manager, replacing Dan Counce, and that Coach Ken Cooper will be offered a new contract this weekend.

The Baltimore Evening Sun said it is believed Hale will be purchasing the team in a range somewhere between $700,000 and $900,000, less than the $1 million asking price. The Blast lost $1 million in both the 1986-87 and ‘88-89 seasons and Hale admitted Thursday the team had been an “absolute loser financially since its inception.”

Andy Marrone scored twice as San Diego State (4-0-1) shut out Nevada-Las Vegas, 4-0.

Jeff Betts and Ken Taylor also scored for SDSU. Eric Wynola assisted on two goals.

The UC San Diego men’s team extended its unbeaten streak to 28 games with a 2-1 victory over visiting UC Davis. Carrick Brewster and Chris Hanssen scored for UCSD (2-0-1).

Steve Cokkinis connected on two penalty shots to lead Point Loma Nazarene to a 2-1 double overtime victory over host Northwest Nazarene. PLNC improved to 2-1-2.

Felicia Faro scored twice and added an assist as UC San Diego defeated host Cal State San Bernardino, 3-0 in a nonleague women’s match.

Faro broke a 0-0 halftime tie with two goals four minutes apart early in the second half. Toni Krumme added a goal for UCSD, which has not been scored upon this season.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

San Diego State (7-5, 1-0) defeated Fresno State in its Big West opener, 15-8, 13-15, 11-15, 15-12, 15-1. Dena Jones led the Aztecs with 13 kills and no errors for a .722 hitting percentage. Amy Erben added 22 kills and Sandi Thompson had four service aces.

The University of San Diego got its first victory of the season with a 14-16, 15-8, 15-11, 15-6 nonleague victory over host Missouri-Kansas City. Suzanne LeSatz had 16 kills and Angie Rais added 12 for USD (1-7).

Point Loma Nazarene College advanced to today’s semifinals of the Mills College tournament with three victories in Oakland.
