FRIDAY. APRIL 12. 1957 Bedenk Looks to Penn As Better Strength Test Coach Joe Bedenk is hoping to get a better idea of his team’s strength when the Lion baseballers meet Pennsylvania University 2:30 tomorow afternoon on the Beaver Field diamond. Bedenk was the first to admit that the Lions 15-1 runaway over Western Maryland Wednesday afternoon could not be considered a true indication of the club’s strength Western Maryland was never ■in the ballgame after Ihe sec ond inning—the Lion stampede was on and there was no stop ping it. However. Penn should .be a closer ball and Be denk expects to learn a Utile more about his club. | Looking back on the! romp, Be denk said that his pitching looked very good, but that his hitting and defense were still weak. How ever, he said this could be ex pected s'ince the poor weather conditions the past two weeks cut practice sessions to almost noth ing. In the defense department, the Lions committed four errors—all in the infield. Bedenk said that this could be caused by the lack of infield practice in the past two weeks. The brief infield practice be fore the start of the game was the first such workout for the Lions in two weeks. Bedenk said the defense still needed improving. At bat, the Lions pounded two Western Maryland pitchers for 10 hits, but pitcher Cal Emery was the only Nitiany to get two hits. Limited batting practice—once in the past two ■ weeks—was probably the cause of this Bedenk said. Looking at the situation rea listically, Bedenk said that his pitching would have to hold up until the hitting and defense round themselves into condition. He said that, taking everything into consideration, the Lion per formance Wednesday was just about as he expected it to be— fair, but in need of improvement. BASEBALL BITS: Western Maryland strategy turned to the unorthodox in the third inning. With the score 6-0 in favor of the Lions and two of its runners on base with none out, Catcher Ev Reeser attempted to move the runners up by a sacrifice bunt. 'This caused Assistant Coach Chuck Medlar to bellow: “Now I’ve seen everything.” jfeX>j Candle light, soft mus- ! ic, a delightful atmo sphere, and the best i food in town is- what i the Town House offers f I you.
