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."

During their mid-April surge, the
Lions, who used strong pitching and
solid defense as catalysts, reeled off
six straight wins and found them
selves nestled in first place of the
'Atlantic 10 Western division with a
perfect 6-0 slate.
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.

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. We came back really well in the
first game and I was really proud of

inning and then came back 4-3. It was
a good game overall."
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

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.
