SPORTLIGHT
June 3
1932 Lou Gehrig becomes the first major leaguer to hit four consecutive home runs in a game, giving the New York Yankees a 20-13 win over the Philadelphia A s. Gehrig s feat, however, is overshadowed by the resignation of John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants for 30 years.
1944 Bounding Home, ridden by G.L. Smith, wins the Belmont Stakes by one-half length over Pensive, the winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
1961 Sherluck, ridden by Braulio Baeza, wins the Belmont Stakes. Carry Beck, the winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, finishes seventh.
1984 Patty Sheehan wins the LPGA championship by a record 10 strokes over Beth Daniel and Pat Bradley.
1991 Thomas Hearns becomes a world champion for the sixth time, capturing the World Boxing Association s light-heavyweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Virgil Hill.
1992 Chicago s Michael Jordan scores a record 35 points, including a record six 3-pointers, in the first half as the Bulls beat Portland 122-89 in the opening game of the NBA Finals. Jordan finishes with 39 points and Chicago is only two points shy of the largest victory margin in the finals.
1995 Pedro Martinez of Montreal pitches nine perfect innings against San Diego before giving up a leadoff double to Bip Roberts in the 10th inning of the Expos 1-0 win.
1999 Four days after her first LPGA Tour victory, Kelli Kuehne ties the Women s U.S. Open record with an 8-under 64 in the first round to take a one-stroke lead over Juli Inkster.
2001 Karrie Webb wins the U.S. Women s Open in a runaway for the second year in a row. Webb shoots a 1-under 69 for an eight-stroke victory, the largest margin at a Women s Open in 21 years.
2004 Calgary ties an NHL record with its 10th road win of the playoffs with a 3-2 overtime victory over Tampa Bay in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals. The New Jersey Devils also won 10 road playoff games during their championship seasons of 1995 and 2000.
2006 Jeff Burton has the biggest come-from-behind win ever in a Busch race, overcoming a 36th-place starting position in the Dover 200 for his second victory of the season.
