Bulldogs sweep Anteaters
By Lee Passmore
Sports Writer
Although two of its wins in a three-
game sweep 6f UC Irvine were not typical Bulldog triumphs, the No. 3-ranked
Fresno Stair baseball team continued on
its roll last weekend.
Saturday's 4-0 victory over Irvine at
Beiden Field stretched the Dogs' winning
streak to 15 and gave them a 32-6 overall
record and 6-0 mark in the PCAA. It also
concluded a successful, if not exactly
exemplary series with the Anteaters.
Erik Schullstrom pitched his best game
in a Bulldog uniform on Saturday, shutting out UC1 with only five hits and
tying his career-high of 12 strikeouis. It
was Schullstrom's second shutout of the
season and raised his record to 7-1,
lowering his ERA to a team-leading 1.84.
Schullstrom's performance capped a
trio of fine pitching performances for the
T>ogs against the Anteaters. John Salles
on Thursday night and Rich Crane on
Friday night each pitched complete-game
victories.
Bulldog Head Coach Bob Bennett felt
the series was one of the best pitching
performances by his team this season and
was particularly pleased with the freshman Schullstrom's victory.
"Schullstrom mixed up his pitches
well," said Bennett. "He has a good fastball and he threw a hard slider today."
As it turned out. the good pitching
came in very handy for the team, particularly on Saturday.
"We did need a shutout because we
didn't hit the ball like we should have,"
said Bennett
Indeed, the Bulldogs, who piled up 48
runs in their three-game series with Long
Beach State the previous weekend, only
managed seven hits against Irvine on
Saturday, their lowest total of the series.
The 'Dogs got all the scoring they needed in the bottom of the third inning when
they got the first of two unearned runs.
With two outs and no men on, Tom
Goodwin lashed a single to the gap between left and center. Anteater left fielder
Chns Dray misplayed the ball and it
rolled to the warning track. Goodwin sped
to third on the error.
The next hitter, Eddie Zosky, lined a
single up the middle to score Goodwin
and give FSU a 1-0 lead. Zosky was the
'Dogs' hitting star on the day, getting two
singles and an RBI.
The Bulldogs then proceeded to score a
run in each of the next three innings.
Mike Burton singled with one out in
the fourth and Steve Hosey had a bloop
double to right field that moved Burton to
third base. Burton scored when Steve
Pearse grounded to second to extend the
lead to 2-0.
The 'Dogs then tallied a run in the fifth
without collecting a single hit. Goodwin,
on first after hitting into a force" play,
stole second after Irvine catcher Don Nicholson hobbled the ball.
Goodwin then stole third and came
home when Nicholson's throw went into
left field. This made it 3-0.
Goodwin got credit for two steals in
the sequence to give him 37 for the sea-

team's runs with a two-out single off
Parrent in the first inning. The loss
snapped three streaks for the Bulldogs:
FSU had won 11 straight games and

innings. FSU scored in the top of the
10th, after the tiebreaker rule was

Macedo at second. She moved to third on
Dever's single to right. Macedo scored on
Kathy Mayer's single to left. The lose
elimated FuUerton from the tournament.
FSU 4, Cal Poly-Pomona 1:

adavantage of three Bulldog errors in the
eighth inning to score four runs and break

with the other error, as she was unable to
handle a low throw to first that would
have ended the inning.

took the loss.
