SPORTLIGHT
Sept. 5
1949 Pancho Gonzales captures his second consecutive men s singles title in the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association championships after losing the first two sets against Ted Schroeder. Mary Osborne du Pont defeats Doris Hart 6-4, 6-1 for the women s title.
1950 Arthur Larsen wins the men s title in the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association championships and Mary Osborne du Pont wins the women s title for the third straight year.
1993 Noureddine Morceli of Algeria breaks the world record in the mile by almost 2 seconds with a time of 3 minutes, 44.39 seconds in the Rieti Invitational. Britain s Steve Cram set the previous mark of 3:46.32 in 1985 at Oslo, Norway.
1998 Mark McGwire becomes the third player in baseball history to reach 60 home runs, as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-0. He joins Babe Ruth and Roger Maris with 60 homers in a single season.
2001 Alexei Yashin, who sat out an entire season in a contract dispute two years earlier, agrees to the longest deal in NHL history. The New York Islanders and the 27-year-old Russian agree to terms on a 10-year contract worth $87.5 million.
2002 There are no medals for the United States at the basketball World Championships. In yet another stunning outcome, Yugoslavia comes back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter and defeats the U.S. team 81-78. After going 58-0 using NBA players in international competitions, the Americans lose two straight.
2003 Mike Maroth becomes the first major league pitcher in 23 years to lose 20 games in a season when Detroit loses to Toronto 8-6. Maroth (6-20) allows eight runs and nine hits in three-plus innings. Oakland s Brian Kingman went 8-20 in 1980.
2007 Alicia Sacramone s floor routine rallies the United States to the world women s gymnastics title in Stuttgart, Germany. The Americans finish with 184.4 points, beating defending champion China by 0.95 points for their second world title, and the first won on foreign soil.
