Baseball team falters in 2 against Rutgers By RON LEONARD! Collegian Sports Writer There's an old baseball adage that says pitching and solid defense are 90 percent of the game. Hitting, which makes up the re maining 10 percent, has consistently taken a back seat, but it's a necessary ingredient to compliment the other two. On Saturday the baseball team could not combine either two ingre dients. The Lion bats were silenced once again, but this time the pitching faltered as well as the Lions dropped both ends of their twinbill against Rutgers by scores of 9-3 and 4-1. Yesterday's scheduled double header with George Washington was postponed because of rain. So as Penn State enters the sea son's halfway mark, its hitting, or lack of it, has been a major problem for Lion Head Coach Shorty Stoner. "The bottom line is that we just didn't play well," Stoner said. "We played so sporadically. Rutgers gam bled a number of times and it paid off. They got those kind of breaks all day. "We do not have a lot of speed on the team so we have to rely on the hitting to make things happen. Until the bats start carrying their share of the load, we will continue to be spo radic."

In the opener, the Lions, who man aged just six hits in each game, staked Lion southpaw Jim Harry 1-1 to a 2-1 lead with a pair of runs in the second inning. Junior Roy Walker, who , has been alternating with Gary Binduga at the third base spot and who went into the contest hitting .172, drove in both runs with a bases loaded single. The Scarlet Knights, however, took advantage of some early control problems by Harry with a pair of runs in the second and knocked him out in a big three-run fourth which iced the game. "Everything that could go wrong did go wrong," Harry said. "I didn't have the good pop on my fastball but I was getting my curve over well." Harry, who exited after 3 2/3 in nings, surrendered six runs on five hits while striking out none and walk ing three. Reliever Bob Zonts finished the game and was tagged for three additional runs. , In Saturday's nightcap, Penn State finally got the solid pitching but was still without any offensive support. The Daily Collegian Softball team drops 2 u t . ~ ti .~ F'~~ r~ By TINA REIGHARD and GWEN FITZGERALD Collegian Staff Writers Warm weather, streakers, and two consecutive losses were three rarities the softball team had to deal with this past Saturday at Lady Lion Field. The weather was a surprise after a long cold spell, the Lady Lions were delt two tough losses and as for the people streaking that barely has anything to do with it. The Lady Lions (16-10) were hand ed a 4-3 loss in the first game against Rutgers (15-6) and in the second game, the Lady Lions were defeated 7-2 against Ohio State (13-18-1). Yesterday's games against the Uni versity of Virginia and Ohio State were cancelled because of the weath- er. Penn State Coach , Sue Rankin said despite the fact the team lost, she was pleased of the Lady Lions' perfor mance in the Rutgers game. "We had no problems in the Rutg ers game," Rankin said. "We only had one error and it wasn't a costly one.

With the score 4-1 in the sixth inning Pam Mowery sacrificed runners to second and third. Christy Phillips singled to center field scoring Al bright and advancing Lasorsa to third. Geri Saya then singled to cen ter field scoring Lasorsa. Phillips was safe at second because of an error on the second baseman and Michelle Turk walked followed to load the bases Rutgers then replaced pitcher Lynn Luckowski with Sharon Martin. Mary Ann Cremeo popped up to the first baseman for the second out. The next batter, Carol Fultz, hit a ground ball to right field and as Turk was advanc ing to second base the ball struck her foot to end the rally. The Lady Lions seemed to have a problem keeping their intensity up after losing the first game. Penn State will try this afternoon to play Ithaca for the second time this season, if weather permits. The twinbill will begin at 1:30 p.m. at Lady Lion Field. ENN STATE CLASS RING any gold class ring ORDER NOW SO YOU CAN WEAR IT THIS SUMMER THE OFFICIAL .......
