In front of a record crowd, the Lady Gators methodically put point after point on the board to defeat Regis Academy of Swoyersville. Ironically the Lady Gators only defeat came at the hands of the same Regis team three years ago. After a quick bucket to open the game by Katie Guntli, Shan- non Leary, starting point guard for the Gators scored the 500 point of her career. Leary ended the game with 13. Chelsey Ostrowsky was the game high scorer with 23. Teamwork has been the key for the Lady Gators and tonight was no exception. Six Gators scored, but defense was the name of the game. Shannon Lupien, Alison Hutch and Jocelyn Kozik provided the spark time and time again. Jes- sica Holton came in strong off the bench. The Kingswomen of Regis were paced by Lauren Williams with 12. She was seven from eight from the free throw line. This leaves the Lady Gators at 21-0 this year and 100-1 overall.

How- ever, I wasn't named in Baseball America. That has given me even more incentive to get things done.” During the off season, getting things done has meant lifting weights four days a week at Ernie's Health Club in Dallas with strength guru Ernie Baul. “I've gotten a lot stronger and added some muscle to my frame,” said Oliver, who has added 15 pounds of muscle to his 6'3 “ frame and now weighs 197 pounds. “My bench press has increased by 75 pounds and I've put on some weight. I plan on reporting to camp at around 205 pounds.” Oliver also spent some time working out with San Diego Pa- dres’ pitcher Andy Ashby. A former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Baron, Ashby underwent shoul- der surgery in the fall and was rehabilitating at College Miseri- cordia with Mark Lombardi, presi- dent of the Sports Injury Treat- ment Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Besides learning some lessons about the work ethic of a major leaguer, Oliver also got a glimpse of what big league pitch- ing looks like. “I got to see firsthand the hard work that you have to put in to get to the majors and stay there,” explained Oliver. “The best part for me was standing in the box while he threw and seeing a live major league pitcher. It was a great experience for me.” While he learned from a cur- rent major leaguer this winter, Oliver was tutored by former Reds’ slugger George Foster in Florida Instructional League last fall. “The Instructional League was excit- ing,” said Oliver. “It was good to compete with the prospects in the organization and I had the plea- sure of working with George Fos- ter. He knows a lot about hitting and taught me so much.” A few of the tips from Foster included taking a shorter swing, eliminating an uppercut and us- ing the hips and legs. “I developed an uppercut in high school to try to hit home runs,” explained Oliver. “I also learned that I was only using my arms in my swing. I've eliminated the uppercut and am using my hips and legs in my swing to drive the ball.” In addition to added strength, Oliver has improved his speed to 6.4 seconds in the 60-yard dash. “I run three days a week on a program from the Reds,” he ex- plained. “I run a mile to warm up and then do sprint work before doing another mile to cool down.” 7-8 ball (continued from page 9) end the regular season with a 9-3 record, while the Bulls record goes to 8-4.
