Sports March 24, 1994 Western Carolinian Cats prepare for GSU with sweep Paladins prove tougher than expected Derek Smolik would hold it up. Sellers pitched a p Roy Hurst and the rest of the Cats are looking forward to this weekend (OPI photo by Mark Haskett). Derek Smolik Staff Reporter Western seems to have more problems with the teams they're supposed to run over than the ones that are supposed to beat them. After upsetting the top-20 ranked USC Gamecocks, the Cats let one slip away at Winthrop, ending an eight game winning streak. Just three days later the Cats (21-5) started a three-game series with the conference cellar-dweller, the Furman Paladins. WCU was able to sweep the Paladins but not until they had to come from behind in two of the three games. Game One: John Connolly's triple was the big blow as the Cats came from three runs down to nip the Paladins 6-5. Connolly's hit came after Mike Tidick opened the inning with a double. The third Paladin error of the game put J.P. Burwell on as well, bringing up Connolly. His hit tied up the game after the Cats had trailed by a tally of 4-1. After Eric Whitson reached on a fielder's choice (Connolly was thrown out at home), Dan Derosia walked. The fourth Furman error scored Whitson and gave the Cats their first lead at 5-4. The Paladins weren't dead, however. Russ Roper hit a solo homerun off winner Joe Jack Sellers (4-0) in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game up at 5-5. Derosia singled home Connolly the very next inning to give the Cats the lead once again. This time Sellers, combined with Mike Manning, Cats and Eagles to battle for SC top spot Derek Smolik StaffReporter Fasten your seatbelts Catamount fans, because the biggest baseball series of the season is almost here, and it promises to be good. Georgia Southern comes to Cullowhee this weekend looking to take SC leadership away from the Cats. The Eagles (6-3 in conference play) are coming off a three-game sweep of VMI in which they allowed only one run all weekend and outscored VMI 18-1. Western, meanwhile, was much less impressive in topping the Furman Paladins but still earned the sweep to stay in first place at 11-1. With their sweep of Furman and win over the USC Gamecocks, the Cats received 37 votes in the most recent Baseball Weekly/ American Baseball Coaches Association poll, good for 31st in the country. Also,compared with their conferenceopponents, the Cats look dominating. The Catamounts are leading the conference in batting average, RBI's, doubles, triples, total bases, hits, runs, ERA, saves and team fielding. The Cats have had problems this season getting up for games against weaker opponents as evidenced by losses to Davidson and Winthrop and close wins over ETSU, Furman and Davidson. But most of the players on the team talked about the importance of the Georgia Southern series. "It's a really big series," said second baseman John Connolly. "We all just need to come together as a team." Even Head Coach Keith LeClair wasn't shy in emphasizing the importance of doing well against the Eagles. "A team could come away from this series controlling their own destiny and would have the upper hand on the other the rest of the season," said LeClair. SC Standings (throi igh3/20) Overall SC W L W L WCU 21 5 11 1 GSU 16 9 6 2 Marshall 4 3 VMI 6 6 Citadel 4 5 Davidson 5 7 ETSU 4 7 ASU 3 6 Furman 3 9 Playing big games against the Eagles is nothing new to the Cats. The two teams have been battling far SC supremacy since the Eagles entered the conference two years ago. GSU came to Cullowhee then and was swept by the Cats, helping WCU to the regular season conference title. >Last season the Cats went down to Statesboro and took two out of three, giving them the lead in the conference standings. The Cats and Eagles have also met four times in the Southern Conference Tournament in the la&t two years with the Cats holding a 3-1 edge. Jason Beverlin (6-1) and Kevin Rexrode (4-1) are the projected starters for Saturday's games. Beverlin and Rexrode are numbered two and three in the conference in ERA with 1.87 and 2.06 marks so far. Joe Jack Sellers' (4-0) recent play has earned him the start on Sunday, and he has both Beverlin and Rexrode beat with a 1.59 ERA. He does not have enough innings to qualify for the SC standings. Ifanyofthestartersfalter,theWCU bullpen has proven to be more than capable of holding down opponents. Mike Manning has already earned eight saves and has an ERA of 0.38. Dale Pilgrim, Clark Maxwell, Derek Cockrell, Drew Posey and Ricky Taylor also could be called on if needed. As a team the Cats have an ERA of 2.85, more than a run better than the Eagles second place 4.02. The Cats have several hot hitters coming into the game. Jody Henson is hitting .435 (10-23) over the last five games (going into the Tennessee Tech series) and is ranked 17th in the conference with a .333 average. Roy Hurst has been hot for nearly the whole season and leads the club with a .358 average. Connolly raised his average 27 points over the weekend against Furman and is hitting 313 on the season. Saturday's starting time is noon. Beverlin is scheduled to start the first game, while Rexrode is slated to start game two. Sunday's third game will start at 1 pm, and Sellers is expected to start that game. - would hold it up. Sellers pitched a perfect eighth inning, and Manning allowed one hit before retiring to the side with his seventh save of the season. Connolly went 3-4 in the game with two RBI's, giving him 16 on the season. "I was just in a good zone that day," Connolly said. "It always feels great to get the big hit." If the Cats needed a wake-up call in the series, it came in the very first inning of the first game. The Paladins hit starter Derek Cockrell early and hard. A pairof singles put runnersat first and second with no one out, then Danny Liebach began his offensive show. Liebach singled up the middle, plating two runs. After the Cats scored one run, Liebach hit a homer to put the Paladins back up by two. Liebach's single in the fifth scored another run and chased Cockrell from the game. Game Two: Anybody who might have thought that the Paladins couldn't do a repeat performance in the second game would have been disappointed. Once again, it took a late inning comeback and some solid relief pitching to pull the Cats' fat out of the fryer. This time it was Alex Tolbert who got the big extra base hit. Tolbert, who came into the game with only ten at-bats on the season, knocked in Connolly with one down the left-field line after Connolly had reached on a double himself. Head Coach Keith LeClair thenbrought in Chris Massey as a pinch-runner for Tolbert. The move paid off for the Cats when Massey moved to third and was brought home on a bunt by Eric Whitson. The big star of the game was relief pitcher Dale Pilgrim. Pilgrim had watched his ERA balloon to 4.02. But in the game Saturday he pitched out of a big jam and picked up his first win of the season. Pilgrim pitched three innings of hitless relief, struck out three and walked no one. Manning pitched a scoreless seventh for his eighth save this season. "I thought our relief pitching1was outstanding," LeClair said. "Overall, I thought that we pitched good at times, not so good at others." Jody Henson continued his strong hitting as he picked up two hits to go along with his two in the first game, raising his average to 330 on the season. Game Three: Jason Beverlin finally gave Cat fans a reason to relax as he combined with Manning for the Cats' second shut out of the season, 7-0. Beverlin raised his record to 6-1, as he went eight strong innings, striking out eight, walking three and allowing only three hits. "I thought fhathe had good command of his pitches," LeClair said. "I thought we pitched a lot better than at USC." Five more Paladin errors put a cloud over the strong pitching of Charles Braswell. In the first inning Tidick reached base with a single to center. He was moved over to third when Braswell's pick-off throw to first sailed past the first baseman. Marc Strieker then brought Tidick home with a single to right. Despite only scoring two runs in the first seven innings the Cats had no shortage of hits as they picked up thirteen in the game. Henson had his third multiple hit game in a row to lead a group of four Catamount batters with two or more hits. Tidick, Hurst and Whitson also had more than two hits on the day. Tuesday afternoon the Cats had to make another comeback. After Kevin Rexrode was hit hard and left with a 4-0 deficit, Dale Pilgrim and Mike Manning combined to shut out Tennesse Tech the rest of the way. The Cat offense then came back with six runs, including two in the ninth to get the 6-4 win. Pilgrim (2-2) picked up the win and Mararinggot his ninth save of the year.
