From page 6
this week's Collegiate Baseball
and Baseball America top 25 polls.
In the Baseball America poll, the
Bulldogs (12-8) jumped one spot
to No. 18. In the Collegiate Base¬
ball rankings, FSU dropped Out of
the.top 25. A bad case of Full
Moon Fever or a just a simple
oversight by the coaches, media
and sports information directors
who vote in the Collegiate Base¬
ball poll? You make the call.
Whatever the the cosmic ramifi¬
cations, the Bulldogs took advan¬
tage with 14 hits as they wrapped-
up a three-game sweep of the Cow¬
boys (7-5) in FSU's first-ever
Western. Athletic Conference •
homestand. After a matinee at St
Mary's tomorrow, FSU returns
home to host the Pepsi/Johnny Quik
Classic on Monday night.
The Bulldogs rode a six-run
fourth inning and five extra-base
hits to the come-from-behind vic¬
tory. Left fielder Brad Dandridge
went 4 for 4 with three RBI and
extended his hitting streak to 13
games. Third baseman Eric Greenef.
who enteredjhe gjujeJnJhc'fifth,
was2 for2 withtwoRBI.
Cruise pitched four-plus innings,
striking out three, but saw several
pitches ride high in the strike zone
and was yanked in favor of
Fernandez after giving up a lead-
off home run to Wyoming
centerfielder Brett Feauto (WU's
.first homer in 11 games) and a
double to Mark I verson in the fifth.
Fernandez (2-1) struggled early
but finished with seven Ks in five
innings. In the ninth, he threw noth¬
ing but fastballs and escaped un¬
scathed.
"The fastball was working well
so we just stuck with itin the ninth
ano-ythey never touched it,"
Fernandez said. "I think we've got
a couple more things to work on
be fore the tournament, like getting
crucial hits and crucial pitches
when we need them. There's al¬
ways something more you can be
doing."
-Trailing 2-1 in the fourth inning,
the Bulldogs sent 10 men to the
plate, scoring six. runs (five with
two outs) on six hits.. After a lead-
off double by Todd Johnson and a
fly ball by centerfielder Gary
McNamara that moved him to third
base, Javier Reuteria. scored
Johnson with a grounder to short.
With two out, the flood gates
burst open. Bryan Judice tripled to
center, scoring on Vigil's smash
down the left-field line.Jesse
Zepeda reached on a error and Ben
Reynoso scored him with adouble.
Dandridge followed with a two-
run single to center. After the first
of two balks by Rauzi moved
Dandridge to second. Bulldog first
baseman Mike Roe singled to cen¬
ter, bringing Dandridge homewf&f
the inning's final run.

Even the teams that fail to ad¬
vance capture the hearts of many.
Remember that Princeton team of
1989. Coach Pete Carill's Tigers
played an offense that made Boyd
Grant resemble Paul Westhead.
Princeton's odds of winning the
NCAA's were too high to fit on
Las Vegas sportsbook computers.

Gene Hackman coached puppies
in "Hoosiers." But these "kids,
whose SAT scores were much more
important than their field goal per¬
centage, dazed the powerful Hoyas
with ballcontrol passing and back¬
door cuts for lay-ups. Only a pair
of Mourning blocks in the final
seconds prevented one of the great¬
est upsets in history.
There has been talk that the little
guys of college basketball don't
belong in the NCAA Tournament.
Only the 64 best teams ranked by
some computer printout should be
invited.
The NCAA's 'need the
Richmond's, the Coppin State's,
the Manhattan's, and the North¬
east Louisiana's.
- I'd rather see the champions of
the Trans America or Mid-Conti¬
nent Conferences get a chance to
pull off one of those upsets for the
ages than to invite nine\Big Teh
teams and Notre Dame every year.
Wouldn't it be cool to play a
Final Four" with Coastal Carolina,
Tennessee State, Canisius and
Fresno State?- '
Well, maybe not. I'll go with
Indiana, Michigan, Kansas and
Seton Hall.

know she's going to drive and I'm
not real tall but she drives and
shoots right over me."
• Kidd also said" that if Beckley
has a weakness it's being ab.e to
pull up and 'shoot the outside
jumper.
"When we put Tamika Young
on her in the second half (of
Saturday's game) with a little more
height, it was a little harder for her
to drive," Kidd said. 'If she could
pull up and take a three-pointer or
the outside shot, that would im¬
prove her game a lot."
Beckley wasn't surprised by
Kidd's assessment, saying that this,
was something she was going to
work on duiring the offseason. -
"1 figure if 1 can develop that I' IL.
be a very good threat because I can
penetrate' but then 1 have people
laying off of me and 1 have to be
able to be able to hit the 10 or 15-
foot shot," Beckley said.
With the quickness Beckley
posesses it's not surprising she ran
for her Joliet West High School
track team and competed in the-
long jump for Fresno State last
spring but had her track career cut
I short. " ~.

"I ended up hyperextending my
knee so I won't be going out this ■
year," Beckley said. -^
This year was a learning experi¬
ence for Beckley but next year will
be her senior year and she will be
expected to produce. "
"We have high hopes for her for
nextyear,"Spencersaid. "Notonly
from the standpoint of her play 'on , . •
the court), but hopefully she and
Suzanne Zahasky will be the co-
captains and show the team leader- ^. .
ship that in some cases we lacked
this year."
