Brad Tucker has been a surprise
this year, and ifs nice td have
such depth at the middle and clos¬
ing reliever positions."
Although they have only
playedseven games, the Bulldogs
appear to be in mid-season form
already. Bennett said he feels that
the 18 returning players have re¬
ally helped the youngsters make
the transition, and he is happy
with the overall team depth.
'Ifs extremely nice," he said.
'Tohaverhemaneuvaabilityfhat
we have is very nice. If sofhebody
ger^wgured, we have plenty of
players ready to step in and pro¬
duce right away."    ;
The fact that the Bulldogs are
facing such tough competition so
early in the season both worries
and please^ Bennett 'It's good
for the team as far as preparing
for league, but if you get on a
losing streak like we did last year,
it can really hurt yoursteam. Ei¬
ther way, it makes your team bet¬
ter in the long run." \

home games and road games is
big. Ifs good to travel early to get
the kids used to the other end of
the coin. The new players have to
get used to playing in front of
crowds cheering for the other
team."
Although the team is moving
up in th£ national rankings,
Bennett continues to say that that
does not affecj the team. "The
team feels like we're pretty gorxf
rightnow, burthe rankings really
don't mean anything. Rankings
help recruiting and promotion,
but you still have to go out and
win each game or else you'll drop
out of the rankings."
The Bulldogs will face
unranked San Jose State tonight
at Beiden Field. The first pitch is
scheduled for 7 p.m. Despite the
fact that the Spartans are
unranked, Bennett expects a chal¬
lenged"^
He said, 'Teams are always
gunning for the teams ranked in
the top 20 because they want to be
the team that unseeds the team as
well as improve their own rank¬
ing."
