Lions - Pidy Same .''':*'''.:ld Song
By DON McKEE
Assistant Sports Editor
There's an affliction in baseball that more than a few
pitching' staffs have run into. The Oakland A's have it.
So do the New York Mets. In fact, the starting pitchers
on most teams that kick away games know all about the
disease.
' What hurts these pitchers is the "I've got to pitch a
shutout to win" syndrome. No baseball man ever talks
about it in a voice above a whisper, but it's there. And
the way things are going for Penn State's baseball team
no • one could blame the Lion pitchers for thinking in the
same vein.
.- The Lions traveled to Lafayette yesterday, but they
might. as - well have stayed home. The Leopards slipped
by foia 3-2 win in a pattern
that is becoming disgusting
ly familiar.
-. Denny Lingenfelter
started for the Lions. Once
agains the senior pitched a
game worthy of victory and,
for the third time this sea
son, didn't get one. Lingen
felter held the hard-hitting
Leopards to six safeties, five
of them singles, and 'didn't
give up an earned run. Bill
Micsky pitched an inning
and a third in relief and
didn't give up a hit.
That should have been
enough to win, but untimely
errors wasted the pitching:
and let Lafayette grab a
victory which it shouldn't
have had.

ing strongly as the Lions took a slim one-run lead in the
fourth. State's leading hitter, Ken Barto,
,got a lead-off
single. Gary Kanaskie followed with a single and Joe
Comforto moved both runners up a base with a bunt. ,
Jim Allgyer, an ex-pitcher who's playing right field
and hitting as if he never heard of a pitcher's 'mound,
was the next batter. The senior came up with a clutch
hit once again, sending Barto home with the lead run.
For several innings it looked like that one-run lead
would hold up. Lingenfelter 'was strong and pitching ef
fectively. But the Leopards' were just waiting for an open
ing, and when one appeared, they made the most of it.
Lafayette was able to take advantage of two. State
errors to send across three runs in the seventh inning,
taking a lead which was to prove decisive.
Bob Fiedler led off by popping up in foul territory
behind first base. Lion first sacker Dick Dreher got to the
ball but couldn't hold it. Given this reprieve, Fiedler
rapped a ground-rule double, the only extra base hit
Lafayette got in the game.
Torn McCombs drew a walk, and one out later, Andy
Pelak singled in Fiedler with the tying run.
The Lions might have escaped further damage, but
another error kept Lafayette alive. Gaylor Dissinger hit
a grounder which went through Dreher's legs, scoring
McCombs.
The final run in the frame scored when pitcher Dick
Noll singled home Pelak.
At this point State coach Chuck Medlar lifted Lingen
felter for Bill Micsky, who got out of the inning.
State rallied in the ninth and had a chance to pull out
a victory, but fell a run short. Kanaskie walked leading
off and Comforto singled, his second hit of the game.

NEW YORK (AP) They

anymore now that the New
Yorkers' staff has become the
talk of the baseball world.
Let the figures speak for
themselves.
The Mets, who rarely lead in
any department except errors
and games lost, now top the
majors in team earned run
average an d the National
League in shutout victories.
Going into last night's game
against Philadelphia, the Met
hurlers had a collective ERA
of 1.57 and four shutouts. In
the latter category, they were
tied with the Am e r lean
League's Cleveland Indians
and Washington Senators. _
Stats Phenomenal
In the 16 games played, the
Mets' staff has yielded only 48
bases on balls and' struck out
116 batters. It has given up only
four homers while the Mets
themselves have hit 13. In three
games, Mets' pitchers have
gone all the way without yield
ing even one walk
' In 1967, their pitchers posted
only 10 shutouts all year, fin
ishes: with the eighth highest
NL ERA at 3.73 and yielded 124
homers, a figure topped in the
league only by the Chicago
Cubs.

Rowing Club Meets Tonight
The Penn State Rowing Club, anxious for members to
add to its newly-formed organization, will hold its first
orientation meeting tonight at 7:30 in Waring Lounge, West
Halls.
Formed by Gary Cotler and coached by Gary Ehlert,
the club has several tentative meets planned for next fall.
Right now they have a boat'ayid a place to row it. All they
need is the people to make it go.
Most of the members of the 1967 crew that finished
third in the world championships were collegiate per
formers. A film of that race in Vichy, France, will be shown
at the meeting. Cotler will also describe the sport for those
not familiar with it.
