Nine Aims for 2nd Win
Today Against Rutgers
Penn State's baseball team will be looking for its second
win of the young 1959 campaign today when it travels to
New Brunswick, N.J. for a game with Rutgers.
Tomorrow the Nittanies will be in action again, helping
Lafayette open its borne season at Easton.
The Lions won their home
opener Wednesday, downing
Gettysburg, 10-6, behind the one
two punch of Larry Fegley and
Bob Iloom.
Fegley and Hoover had four
RBl's apieco and both had two
hits. One of Hoover's blows was
a tremendous home run which
cleared the rightfield stands of
Beaver Field.
Penn State coach Joe Bedei.k
plans to use his talented keystone
enmbination in the same slots in
the batting order today. That
finds second sacker Fegley in the
number three slot and Hoover
following in the cleanup position.
Before leaving last night, Be
denk said Ihat he was going to
start southpaw sophomore Ed
Kikla on the mound with junior
John Adams behind the plate.
This will be Kikla's first taste
of varsity action and the Lion
coaches are expecting big things
from the stocky portsider. It ,
will also be Adams' first game I
as he had to sit out last season
with a broken leg.
The test of the lineup will',
probably be the same Bedenkl
said, "But if a righthander is;
pit' hing for Rutgers," Bedenk'
added, "Doug Caldwell will prob-;
ably play rightfield in place of
Zeke DeLong"
The rest of Bedenk's
finds Larry Beighey at first, Mike
Hader at third, little Dick Landis
in left and Ron Rinker in center,
With the exception of the bat
tery, this is the same team that
topped C;ettystmrg in the opener.
But even though the Lions
won that one, neither Bedenk or
his assistant Chuck Medlar was
entirely satisfied with the
team's performance. "Don't get
me wrong," Bedenk said, "we
played a gdod game but the in
experience of some of the boys
showed up."
Bedenk said that he didn't know
for sure who would pitch against
Lafayette tomoirow but said it
