Bulldogs win 23rd straight
Eighth-inning rally salvages 8-5 victory, school record
By Brian Veneski *■*
Sports Writer
The record is broken. With an 8-5
victory over ihe UC Santa Barbara
Gauchos Sunday, the No. 2-ranked
Fresno State baseball team broke the
school's previous consecutive victory
mark of 22 by notching its 40lh win of
the season.
Trailing 4-2 going to the eighth
inning the 'Dogs let loose as they scored
six times to open up the contest on their
way to their 11th PCAA victory against
no defeats.
The big hits in the eighth came from
Brandon Mitchell, who had a two-run
triple and Iridic Zosky, who smacked a
two-run single.
Fresno trailed 3-1 going to the fourth
but Steve Pearse cut that lead in half
with a solo home run making it 3-2.
FSU softball
sweeps 2
ranked teams
By Steve Fountain
Sports Writer
An argument could have been made
last Tuesday that the FSU softball
team's move up to No. 2 in the nation
was as much a case of other ranked
teams losing as FSU winning.
After all, the Bulldogs spill double
headers with No. 14 Cal and No. 12 Cal
Poly Pomona in the week prior to the
release of the new rankings.
But following FSLTs perfect performance over the weekend, the Bulldogs
undjsputedly earned the right to hold the
nation's No. 2 ranking.
In fact, they may be making a case for
the No. 1 spot
FSU swept doubleheaders from No. 7
FuUerton on to complete a perfect 6-0 \
road trip through Southern California.
A twin bill versus United States
International scheduled for Sunday was
cancelled due to muddy field conditions.
In addition to solidifying its national
ranking. FSU (40-11, 21-3) extended its
lead in the Pacific Coast Athletic
Association to four games over Fuller-
ton and Long Beach, who are tied for
second with 17-7 marks.
FSU 4, Long Beach State 1
(10 innings): Carie Dever, who
usually pitches the second game of
doubleheaders, started the fust due to
Melanie Parrent's bout with a lOO-degree
temperature the night before.
Dever (19-4) and 49er starter Annette
Gonzales (21-3) each pitched shutouts
for eight innings before giving up single
runs in the ninth.
But FSU scored three runs in the top
of the tenth and held off ajiases-load
threat in the bottom of the innings to
win.
FSU 3, Long Beach State 0:
Parrcni looked anything but ill, as she
struck oul nine of ihe first 12 batters she
faced. Parrent (19-7) allowed just five
hits an I finished with 10 strikeouts.
The Bulldogs scored a run in the fifth
and two more in the sixth to complete
the sweep.
Please see SOFTBALL, page 7
But the Gauchos responded with a
dinger of their own as Ed Lanpherc
duplicated Pearse a shot with homer in
the bottom of the inning, upping the
lead to 4 2.
The Bulldogs, though, came back
with the big eighth inning to clinch the
win and the record raisng their record to
40-6 on the year.
On the day Tom Goodwin goi three of
the Bulldogs nine hits in five plate
appearances and stole his 47ih base of
the season.
Starting pitcher Rich Crane handled
the mound dudes, going the distance and
giving up only seven hits and four
earned runs, while striking out four.
The victory for Crane was his 13th of
the season as he moved into a fifth place-
tie with former-major leaguer Dick Ruth-
ven on the FSU single-season victory
On Saturday, the Bulldogs opened up
the three-game set with a 4-2 victory,
posting their record-tying 22nd win in a
row. FSU was powered by the long ball
and a superb pitching performance.
Once again the Bulldogs fell behind
early in the contest and had to come
from behind to win. UCSB scored twice
in the second inning on back to back
doubles off of FSU starter John Salles,
It appeared as if Salles may suffer
through the same problems that he experienced against Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo last Tuesday night, when he went
two and a third innings giving up seven
runs.
But Salles settled down to pitch a fine
game as from then on he didn't allow a
run as went all nine for his 11th victory
of the year. He gave up only four hits
on the day.
Trailing 2-1 in the fifth, Fresno got
the first of its three homers as junior
Mike Burton jolted UCSB left-hander
Renay Bryand's pitch over the right field
fence for his eighth homer of the year
making the score 2-2.
Then in the seventh, the nation's
leading home run hitler. Lance Shebelut.
got the eventual game winner for the
'Dogs with his 23rd homer of the year
and Fresno would never look back.
Burton did add a Utile insurance in the
eighth as he ripped his second homer of
the game, a 400-foot shot to center to
lead off the inning and cap off a fine day.
Fresno State will wrap up ihe series
today as Erik Schullstrom goeson the
mound for the Dogs, who will look to
go to 12-0 in PCAA play.
UC Santa Clara is the next obstacle
for FSU, starting a two-game series
with the "Dogs at Santa Clara on Tuesday.
