Baseballers seek 3rd win against Lafayette By GARY SILVERS Collegian Sports Writer The Penn State baseball team, after ripping the cowhide to shreds against Lehigh and Villanova, travels to Easton today where the stickmen battle Lafayette in game three. "This will probably be our toughest game so far," said pitcher Jim Farr, who will take the mound today. "They beat us in a 16-14 slugfest last year and proved they can really sting the ball. "I was slated to pitch last Sunday," he added, "but the weather threw off our rotation. I just hope I can perform up to par with a whole week off." According to State coach Chuck Medlar's preseason analysis, pitching was sup posed to be the squad's big question mark this season. However, after the first two outings, • pitchers Steve Nielsen, Dick Miller, and Farr have allowed the op position just 16 hits in 55 at bats and only three earned runs. Farr leads the staff in earned run average (0.00), followed by Nielsen (2.57), and reliever Miller (3.00). Together the trio has struck out 19 batters and issued just nine free passes. The State offense has also been phenomenal, cracking 32 hits, 20 runs, and producing a team batting average of .432 after the first two games. Leading the attack so far are infielders Dave Delenick (.750, two RBl's), Greg Vogel ( .700, two RBl's) , Mick Kolwicz (.625, three RBl's), and Kevin Maronic ( .500, three RBl's). Other early sluggers include catcher Garry Koch ( .500, four RBl's) and left-fielder Larry Kramer (.444, one HR, four RBl's). "It's a lot easier to pitch with that kind of hitting," Farr said, "and if we can continue to keep the two working together, we could really be tough to handle." The Lions do have two big weaknesses to date left and right field. Defensively, the Stanley Cup playoffs also excite referee Newell WORCESTER, Mass. ( AP) Hockey fan Dave Newell gets psyched up about the Stanley Cup but not over who's going to win it. It's not that he doesn't have a stake in the National Hockey League playoffs. He's an. NHL referee and' he says he takes his job almost too seriously. "As bad as things get for officials during the regular season, it is worse in the playoffs," he told the Worcester Telegram in an interview yesterday. "The playoff finals are even worse. The pressure is almost too much," he said. "I feel the importance of it. I walk holes in my hotel carpet. I walk the streets. But once the game starts, I get lost in my job and I'm all right." t "l' l 7lteoaalgeWag• r ,,. acilm Oa, • kottr Balfour o possible selection Penn State Class Rings are available in three styles for men and seven styles for women.
