LOS ANGELES (AP) Mike Sch midt's fifth home run of this' series, a two-run shot in the sixth inning yesterday,.backed the six-hit pitching of Nino Espinosa and led the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The loss was the Dodgers' sixth in the last seven games overall and their sixth in seven games against Philadelphia this season. Six-foot-7 Joel Kramer, who was called on to replace starting center Alvan Adams with a minute left in the opening quarter when Adams left the game with a sprained left ankle, sparked an outstanding defensive effort. Kramer wound up with 11. points and his defensive contribution included three steals and two blocked shots. SeAttie had a 61-60 halftime lead.

To be good at it, one must be more than just quick and agile. The desire to stop that fast flying hard rubber ball with bare shins and shoulders protected by only the thickness of one's jersey must also be present. Penn State goalie Joe Guterding, a freshman from Baldwin, N.Y. has had that desire since he first began protecting the 6-6 netted cage in the sixth grade. In eight years of lacrosse, it's the only position he's ever known; and one that has its fill of inconsistencies. 18 8 .692 - 16 11 .593 2 1 / 2 14 11 .560 3 1 / 2 14 12 .538 4 12 13 .480 5 1 / 2 10 17 .370 8 1 / 2 9 19 .321 10 "If you make some good saves and the team wins, you can be the star," Guterding said. "But if you let one slip by you and lose, you're the goal" The position, however, is more in volved, than that. Defensiveman Mark Goulding says, "Some of the better players can shoot the ball 100 miles per hour. You've got to be a special athlete to want to stop a shot like that." "Everybody thinks we're (goalies) crazy," Guterding said as he lifted his shirt sleeve to expose a large purple bruise. "But it is a great position if you like to collect black and blue marks." The goalie is not totally unprotected. Along with his chest protector and caged helmet, his stick with the over-sized basket remains his best defense. Many shots, though, do strike open parts of the body. But essentially, bumps and bruises are the last thing Guterding concerns himself with. "When I'm hit with the ball, it stings, but it doesn't hurt," he said. "What hurts more than anything is when the ball gets by you for a score." This happened to him against Drexel (an 11-10 win) when a Dragon midfielder put a shot paSt him with six seconds remaining to send the game into over time. "I saw the ball coming, but couldn't keep it out. I really should have had it," he said. Guterding tries not to let too many closing seconds, to put the Super Sonics out front at the intermission. The game remained close up to 2:20 in the third period, when the Suns began a run that Seattle was never able to overcome. The Suns, who had led 78-75 at that point, came up with four uncontested points to take a 82-75 lead into the final period. Walter Davis added 22• points for the Suns while teammate Len "Truck" Robinson had 21. lead shots get past him. In action, he crouches and poises himself before the net and holds his elbows up and out, while keeping his stick out in front of him. He is a picture of perpetual motion as he constantly bounces on the balls of his feet, while shifting from side to side and tapping the cage posts with the bottom of his stick. "Body position is the main thing in the goal. I tap the pipes so I know where I'm at all the time," he said. Quickness and reflexes also playa big role in aborting potential goals. "A lot of times I'll bait a player and give him a little opening to shoot at," he said. "That way I can anticipate where the shot is going and react faster." Guterding's overall style of play is a bit unorthodox. "Joe is more or less a `wildman' in the cage," Goulding says. "He really doesn't play the position by the book, but likes to move around and block shots anyway he can." "It takes a lot of concentration," Guterding says. "If I tell myself I want to stop a shot, I usually can. But sometimes my stick doesn't want to move. Then I have to use my body." Aside from tending goal, Guterding' likes to involve himself in the entire game. As the center of the defense, he can be heard shouting out directions to the defensivemen and midfielders, alerting them to where the ball is and oncoming picks. Also, he rarely shys away from contact. Penn State coach Glenn Thiel en courages this type of involvement, but it does have its drawbacks. "Sometimes Joe comes out too much and it hurts us. He's got a lot of raw talent, but he still has a lot to learn;". Thiel said. "Even so, he's improved 100 percent since the fall. What Joe has to work on is his con fidence and not letting bad plays get to him." .iiiagarir A l A, --- ittorgiritr o , 1 no rdenory.A:, , 44. 1 1 1:.
