Rough Cut On The Diamond
The Lions Trevor Johnson took a tough loss
on the - mound against Gannon
by Michael A. Cifelli
Collegian Staff Writer
The Lions baseball squad
might have better luck if they
played more teams in the east.
"We haven't beaten a team west
of us," Coach Mike Bari pointed
out.
Behrend is the would-be Beast of the
East, its the western competition that
gives the Lions the most trouble
That's one explanation for the
Lion's dismal 1-16 mark. Their
lone victory came against SUNY-
Fredonia, the only school
longitudinally east of Penn State-
Behrend. As scheduling has it,
that could mean a long season for
Bari's Lions. The majority of
their opponents are "west"
schools. Another difficulty for
the Behrend nine has been NAIA
and Division II opponents; they
are 0-14 against them. The Lions
are 1-2 against division 111
schools.
The difficulties continued last
week as the Lions were swept in
two doubleheaders against

Gannon (3-0, 5-2), and West
Virginia-Weslyan (7-5, 9-1).
Against Gannon, a school from
the west side of Erie, Bill Taylor
went 3-for-4 and Trevor Johnson
pitched a complete game in the
opener. In game two, Pete Zulick
had one hit and 2 RBl's.
Darin Wotus and Ray Cerqua
were the bright spots aganinst
Weslyan. Wotus hit two doubles
and Cerqua came through with a
bases loaded double that knocked
in three runs. In the second game,
Wotus came back to belt a pinch
hit homer for the Lion's only
run.
Bari's squad will be back in
action against an east school
Thursday when they travel to
Rochester to tangle with RIT.
The Lions will host Mercyhurst
on Saturday, and Sunday they
will visit Fredonia.
