4: w k -4;.1 BALL TEAM TO PLAY IY PJCAA TOURNEY In summing up the Cub baseball games played to date t'ne immortal phrase, "_;ame of inches", is justi fiable. In many instances an inch has been the dif ference between a key play, or a hit or a run. Althor;-h the team's record is a poor showin; of 2 wins to 5 loses (the inches have taken their toll), the team is in reality ruoh I:etter than the score sheets show. Re;' ,-, rtedly the infield is as good or even better than last year's infield. Likewise the team batting average is a fair (.243). The real difference lays in the fact that the Cubs have only two returning letter men, flruce Reinhart and 'Boyd Armstrong. The lack of experience has cost the team important runs. In the opening double header against Cuyahoga Commun ity College the pitchers were Bruce Reinhart and Bill Chisholm. In the first same Bruce went the distance allowing Bruns on 11 hits and 1 error. Like the ma jority of the runs scored against Dehrerd it came with 2 outs and no one on the bases. The Cubs only managed to score 3 runs on 5 hits. The second game, with Pitcher Bill Chisholm, faired little better with the Cubs scoring but one run on 7 hits while the opponents manc7ed to score 6 runs on 7 hits and 4 errors. The next set games was a double header against Bryant and Stratton. During these two games the Cubs looked like a well drilled and experienced team. Again Rein hart pitched the first same, allowing 2 hi:s, 0 runs and only 3 errors. The Cubs meanwhile managed to col lect 4 runs off 6 hits. Larry Taylor ("Keystone") lead the team in its 4-3 setback of Bryant, going 2 for 3 (both doubles) and by playing a strnns defense at the keystone position. In the second game Bill Chisholm pitchel a 4 hitter (allowing 2 runs). The Cl .i. started it off with tNe first inning when Mike ecu hit Stuart home - with a base hit. Again Larry Taylor stood out rapping 3 hits for 4 times at bat. In the double header agairst Sryant Stratton it can be seen that with fair to good pitching and a minimum of errors the Cubs play a fair brand of ball. Text the Cubs :, - la:ied the Fenn State Fresh. Although the Cuts were be..:t 17—D the fi2st 6 runs were unearned runs. The real difference in the ;Urge was that Penn State :oitched a full scholarship 7pitch.,l . a;: . .inst the Curs.

The hiTh toint in the loss thou;h was the fact that Rich Qui:,.i;le came into the 7ame at the start of the sixth innin:, and allowed but 2 'fits fro-r, then on. Again came the game against the Penn State Frosh. Al though Behrend bit the dirt again 17-3, trough the cff-)rts of aich Stuart and Boyd Armstrong the effort was apparent. Swart and 730 yd teamed up together to - :: , n -- , \ . score our first two runs. Stuart lead off with a single and Boyd pomply smashed a drive for a triple but was then able to score when the feilder bobbled the ball. At his next time at bat the rigl feilder backed up between 20 and 30 ft. Boyd calm rapped the ball over the feilders head and scored easily ca a home run inside the park. For this year the'team still has great hope This wtiekend the team travels to Altoona for the PJCAA Tourney, there will be 7 junior colleges i it. This year's team is much better than the sta istics have shown. But the promise for a better last half and a good season next year is excellan 4 RB NETTERS REMAIN UNDEFEATED; TAKE FIRST IN TOURNEY Last Saturday, May 11, the Behrend tennis tea traveled to University Park to compete in the Penn State Commonwealth Campus Tennis Tournament and merk victorious in sweeping all events.
