coach is admittedly concerned i
team's lack of offensive consistency
"Our hitters have not performed up to
their capabilities," was Bennett's
statement.
The coach was probably not referring
to his son, sophomore outfielder Brad,
who continues to lead the club with a
gaudy .362 average. Bennett is tied for
the club lead in runs scored with 25,
leads in walks with 31 and is second in
runs batted in with 20.
Senior outfielder John O'Leary is the
only other regular swinging a .300 bat
His average is presently at .323 and he
leads the team in hits.
Other offensive standouts in the latest
Bulldog  statistics  are  third  baseman
Reelhorn, another sophomore right¬
hander, limited USF to just three hits in
matching Bordi i 4-1 performance In the
lidllfter of list week's twin-bill. Reel¬
horn notched his sixth win, and he
remains undefeated with a 2.41 E R A.
Lohuls, who was almost a total wash¬
out In the first half of the season, con¬
tinued to make the comeback that Coach
Bob Bennett had hoped for. The senior
right-hander yielded only five hits and
struck out 10 In the seven-Inning affair to
wind up the series with a 5-2 'Dog
(numph. While his miserable start is
still reflected by an embarrassing 6.61
ERA., Lohuls hat taken over the team
lead In strikeouts with 62.
With Lohuls back In the rotation,
Dennett has the luxury of working star
freshman lefty Tony Herron out of the
bullpen. Although he has been shuffled
from starter to reliever in his first sea¬
son, Herron has allowed only 34 hits In
49 innings and has a superb 2.04 ERA.
Offensively, recent Bulldog efforts
have boon a far ay from some of their
early season barrages. USF does not
have one of the better NCBA pitching
staffs, yet CSUF managed only 13 runs
In the three home games. When they
swept the Dons In San Francisco back In

(club leader with four home runs) and
infielder-designated hitter Dan Gladden
(club leader with 21 runs batted in).
Bennett is well aware that the Broncos
pose a real threat to his league-leading
squad In their first-half meetings at
Beiden Field, the Broncos won two out
of three from the Bulldogs, sweeping the
Saturday doubleheader impressively, by
3-0 and 8-3 scores Santa Clara figures to
be even tougher on their home turf.
CSUF returns home Tuesday to host
Loyola-Marymount in a non-league con¬
test beginning at 5 p.m Their next
league action takes place over Easter
weekend as they travel to Nevada-Las
Vegas to square off against the Rebels.

titled "The Arrival of Spring."
•The Punctuation Patrol would have a field day with this one,' Baraldi said
before I began, 'and Stylistics would tear it apart, too. Violations evetywhere.'
" Why are they writing about toe arrival of spring on the editorial page? Is
spring a political issue now?"
"I suppose they think they're poets.*
"Maybe we should get the boys from Poetry after them."
"They' re too busy chasing one another.'
We both laughed at thia-ehort, intense, professional laughs. Poetry Division

I read the spring editorial. It appeared March 21. It started like this:

could be a typo, but even if the comma is removed and 'clambered' becomes

r- "This man eridently has no sense of sentence balance,'I said.
"And how does the sun clamber? Maybe I lack poetic soul"
"Maybe you do.'
Baraldi glared at me. I read on:

According to Bulldog coach Bonnie
Bevans, the tournament will be an open

much about the caliber of the other
teams but feels that Fresno as well as
every other team has a good dunce to do
well.
