Lions Bow Out at Pitt
In Crucial Doubleheader
By MATT MATHEWS
Associate Sports Editor
Coach Joe Bedenk's Lions received a twelfth-hour stay of execution by the Eastern
Play-off Selection Committee and will be out to prove themselves worthy of a bid to the
play-offs today as they tangle with the Pitt Panthers in a double header at Pitt.
The selection committee, which was supposed to pick the four play-off teams this past
Monday, postponed its selection date to this coming Monday. The postponement was a
great break for the Lions as they
would have been undoubtedly
dropped by the wayside after los
ing two home games last week.
The high-riding Panthers own
a respectable 10.4 record going
info the season finale compared
to the Lions 12.4 chart. But the
quality of opposition has been
a little different.
The Panther nine holds wins
over the likes of Indiana State
Teachers Col leg e, California
Teachers, Cornell, Bucknel I,
Georgetown. Allegheny, West Vir
ginia (2), Duquesne (2), and Syra
cuse
Their losses have been to West
minster, Juniata, Syracuse and
Navy—the latter two teams were
handled with ease by the Lions
as they took both ends of a
doubleheader from Syracuse, 8-5
and 11-0, and whipped the Mid
dies, 9-2.
Bedenk will go with his one
two combination of Cal Emery
(7-1) in the opener and Reliable
Ron Riese (5-1 )in the nightcap.
Their opposition comes from
two Panthers who also have
suffered only one defeat this
year—Bill Hamilton (4.1) and
Bob Conti (2-1).
Gary Miller (who is leading
the batting parade among the
regulars with a healthy .351 aver
age), Ron Rainey (.328), Captain
Don Stickler (.281), Jack McMul
len (.264), Steve Baidy (.224), Joe
Moore (.207) and Davey Watkins
(.083) will be bowing out for the
Lions today.
Watkins has been one of the
big offensive disappointments for
the Lions this year, although hold
ing his own defensively. The sen
ior rightfielder hit .333 last year,
but is at a low point this year
where he would rather use his

make a strong bid in the 220.
