Behrend's
Cubs Take
by Tony Alo
Asst Sports Editor
Behrend’s off-and-on baseball
team copped two out of three
games in last week’s action to
raise their record to a 3-2 while
being washed out of one road
date.
Two big innings, one in each
game, made the difference last
Thursday as Behrend swept a
twinbill from McKeesport
Campus 9-2 and 8-2.
In the first game, the Cubs
erupted for 5 runs in the second
inning to ice the victory and Mark
Lytle scattered 9 hits and fanned 7
for the win. The big inning
featured RBI singles by Duane
Zimmerman and Bob Marks with
an error letting in 2 more runs.
Marks led the Behrend attack
with 2 safeties in 4 trips to the
plate. The Cubs clouted 6 hits off
McKeesport pitching.
The nightcap saw BC send 11
straight hitters to the plate while
tallying 7 times. Tom Wright and
Roger Nolan smashed 2-run
singles and Don Raydo and Gary
Ohm also drove in runs with
singles.
Tom Wright checked the down
staters on 5 hits over seven as
McKeesport absorbed its second
and third straight losses of the
season.
Behrend Splits With
Erie Community
Tuesday, Erie County Com
munity College stormed into
Behrend Campus with “murders
row” lineup the likes of which
Behrend hurlers haven’t seen yet
this season. The rugged New
Yorkers pounded out 33 hits in the
2 afternoon games. Numerous
Cub errors also lended to the
visitor’s success as they buried
the hapless home team 20-2.
In the first game, Erie County
raked 4 Behrend pitchers for 22
hits and 13 runs as (every) player

Doubleheader Over McKeesport Campus
is the visitors lineup hit safely.
Metz led the winners with 4 hits in
six trips while Jafer had 3 RBl’s
and Stefano, Jerge, Barone and
Hagan each had 2.
Coach Clarence Stoner used no
less than 18 players in a futile
effort to try and make a game of
it. However, the Cubs could only
manage a meager six hits and
two runs against hurler O’Bryan.
Roger Nolan poked 2 hits in 3 trips
to the plate and Chris Blood had
an RBI double to save some face
for the home club. O’Bryan
coasted to the win for ECCC.
Errors Lose Game
The Cubs spelled their own
doom with nhmerous miscues in
the field allowing many unearned
runs. Behrend ace, Mark Lytle,
who started, was knocked out in
the third inning and absorbed his
first loss of the season.
The nightcap was a stirring,
come-from-behind win for the
Cubs, as Roger Nolan smashed
the game-winning hit in the last
inning in a pinch-hitting role, as
Behrend won a 11-10 squeaker.
Behrend and Erie County each
blasted .11 hits in the second
game, as each team’s bats
continued to boom.
Bob Marks, Don Raydo, Ed
Kush, and Chris Blood kept BC in
the game as each stroked 2 hits.
Marks, Kush, and Blood also had
2 RBl’s each for the Cubs. Pat
Malone, although hitless at the
plate, made sparkling defensive
plays to aid the winners’ cause.
The Cub’s Tom Wright had
early inning problems in the
mound and was replaced by Pete
Houghton, who battled the tough
Erie County hitters over the last
five innings, to earn the victory.
Brisban took the loss for the
visitors.
Behrend faces Niagara Com
munity College in a doubleheader
on Saturday to try to improve
their 3-2 record.

A Behrend hitter sends a line shot to the outfield in the early innings of the first game of
Tuesday’s twin-bill against Erie Community College. The effort was in a losing cause
though, as the visitors bombed the Cubs 20-2. The home club bounced back in the nightcap,
however, to take an 11-10 decision.

contest be "made 3 exciting plays
in succession. Yet, Bobby, who is
gifted with amazing quickness
and a shotgun arm, makes
policing the ‘hot corner’ look
easy.
Coach Clarence Stoner spared
no praise for Bobby wheh asked
to comment on his selection. “Bob
lias been the steadies, most
consisten player I have over the
past five games. He’s been
making good contact with the ball
and I suspect he’ll continue to do
so. His defensive play has been
fabulous. Bobby is a great asset
to our team and I’m glad to have

him inourineup.”
Last year Bobby hit .413 and led
llie team with 17 RBl’s and 5
stolen bases and it looks like he’s
on his way to another great
season.
Bob commented on his selection
in modest fashion when he said,
“There are so many great
ballplayers on our team that I’m
proud to be playing on the same
team with them.” There is no
doubt that Bobby Marks is one of
those great ballplayers and he’ll
go down as one of the greatest.
