The Bulldogs won the first game.
'-if*, but dropped the nightcap. 2-1. to
bring their pre-conference record to 9-
7.
FSU pilcher Bobby Jones threw a,
complete game in the opener, allowing
eight scattered hits and one earned
run.' He posted five strikeouts, but his
strength was in keeping the ball down
and forcing Oregon State to hit the ball
into the infield most of the game.
Jones Improved his record to 3-2.
Right ftejder Jeff Borgese
continued hig timely hitting In the
first game for the 'Dogs. Borgese hit
two for four in the first game,
including a grand slam in the third
inning.
"1 don't hit a lot of home runs,"
Borgese said. ■ "I'm basically a line
drive hitter, a scrappy guy who gets on
base. IBeiden Field) is a great park to
hit In: the wind always blows out. If I
can get a fastball and I can turn on It. 1
can hit some home runs.1' Borgese said.
Borgese had seven RBIs in two games
for the 'Dogs.
Borgese's grand slam put the
finishing touch to a 10-run third
inning for ihe Bulldogs, who also
capitalized on sloppy pitching and
infield play.
The inning started with Phillip
Romero being hff by a Jeff Otis pitch.
Tim Costic doubted, and Borgese was
also hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Todd Johnson lined a shpt to right
that should have been a single, but was
able to take second on a throwing
error from right fielder Aaron
-Anderson, scoring Romero and Costic.
Rick Lantrip doubled.-scoring Borgese
and Johnson. Chris Falco scored on a
single by Brian Wilson.
The top of the order came up again
and Romero singled. He was moved
along when Costic got on base as a
result of comebacker to the mound
that bounced off Otis' fool. With
Wilson at third, the bases were loaded
to set up the Borgese grantl slam. Todd
Johnson struck out to end the Inning.
After struggling in his last two
starts. Jones got 19 Beaver batters out
on hits to the Infield. Without being
overpowering. Jones moved the ball
around with off-speed pitching and
kept the Beavers at bay.

Hoopsters lose home finale to Aggies

jr
By Chris Branam
Sports Writer
FSU Athletic Director Gary Cun¬
ningham hopes prospective coaches
did not see the Bulldogs' 82-68 loss to
New Mexico State Saturday night. He\
might not get^uiy applicants.
It was an ugly loss in every sense, as
the athletic Aggies ran through, by,
and at Fresno's once fearsome defense.
Fresno State only led the game once (3-
0), and from there New Mexico State
reeled off nine consecutive points, set¬
ting the tone for the game.
"We had a number of breakdowns
defensively," said FSU interim co-
head coach Don Beck. "I think we
came out rather flat, and that was
something that not only myself, but
the rest ofthe staff was afraid of."
The 24th-ranked Aggies led 40-26 at
haiftime, and increased Its lead to 22
points at 68-46 with about six minutes
left in the game on Keith Hill's fast
break lay-up. The closest Fresno State
got alter that was 73-61. after two
Bijou Bah/ free throws.
New Mexico State improved to 25-3
overall. 16-2 in the Big West The win
enabled the Aggies to share the regular
season championship with UNLV. It Is
the first time since UNLV joined the
conference that it- did not win the title
outright.
Hill and James Anderson combined
to score 37 points to lead NMSU. Hill
had 21 points and Anderson chipped
in 16 points with nine rebounds.
Wil Hooker again led the Dogs with
21 points, including five three-
pointers. Tod Bernard added 14 points
and was the only other FSU player to
score in double figures.
"I thought we stuck with It. and came
out and battled hard in the second
half." Beck said.
Fresno State once again was the
victim of questionable offlciaUng,
whfch Is starting to sound like a
broken record. NMSU shot 36 free
throws, connecting on 26, while FSU
made all 14 of It's shots at the charity
stripe. While a portion of New Mex¬
ico's free throws were attempted In the
last five minutes when the "Dogs were
fouling on purpose to stop the clock, a
majority of the calls went the Aggies
way.
At one point, Chris Henderson,
while diving for a loose ball, ran Into
referee Jim Stupln. knocking him to
the floor. The Selland Arena crowd
gave Henderson a standing ovation.
It has been that kind of season,
folks.
Fresno State lost its seventh
consecutive game, dropping to 9-18
overall. 4-14 in the conference. FSU
will play San Jose State In the Big
West post season tournament Wednes¬
day at 9 p.m. in Long Beach.
