WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Baltimore's defense left little to chance in yesterday's 14-12 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers."We did everything we said we had to," said CFLs nose tackle Jearld Baylis. "We had to score on defense, and we had to keep them out of the end zone."Not only did Baltimore keep the CFL's No. 2 scoring offense from scoring a touchdown, but it also produced the only touchdown of the game, a first-quarter fumble recovery and 10-yard run by cornerback Karl Anthony.The Blue Bombers averaged 36 points and 352 yards in total offense this season, but quarterback Matt Dunigan could generate only three field goals and 171 yards yesterday.

The Baltimore Football Club said goodbye to one of its new faces and welcomed back an old comrade yesterday when it waived rookie rush end Jock Jones and signed Malcolm Goodwin, then added him to the team's practice roster.Ten days ago, Goodwin was released when the team finalized its 37-man roster."It's just one of those things where everything fell into place, and I'm glad to be back in Baltimore," Goodwin said. "There are 17 games left, and I've got to work my butt off to make sure I play in all 17 of them."

If there's a World Cup soccer invasion in the United States, it's doubtful many fans of Baltimore's Canadian Football League team have noticed.Not after watching Donald Igwebuike get his kicks last night in a 45-43 overtime exhibition victory against Eastern Division opponent Winnipeg, raising his scoring total to 34 points in two games.Igwebuike won the game with a 47-yard field goal with no time remaining in overtime. His 52-yard field goal with 12:01 left in regulation had broken a 30-30 tie. It was his second-longest field of the preseason.

Baltimore's expansion team finds out how far it has come this preseason against the defending Eastern Division champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Baltimore beat the Shreveport Pirates,33-18, last week, but didn't put the game away until late because of four turnovers. Winnipeg beat the Ottawa Rough Riders, 61-28, in its first exhibition. Tonight's game features two of the CFL's best quarterbacks in Baltimore's Tracy Ham and Winnipeg's Matt Dunigan. The outcome could hinge on how Baltimore handles Dunigan's high-powered attack.

The Baltimore Football Club took its training camp from Towson State to Memorial Stadium, where the team practiced yesterday in front of about 300 fans who turned out for Family Fun Day. Players signed autographs for 30 minutes after practice."
