March 30, 1995 Western Carolinian 11 Sports Baseball Strike Reaches New Low Will Sullivan Associate Editor Brace yourselves: this Saturday could become one of the darkest days in sports history. The Major League Baseball Players Union issued a statement late Wednesday night saying that "all players at all levels of the game (professional or amateur) will be considered strike-breakers if they continue to play after midnight Friday." This, they said, would encompass all baseball leagues—from Little League all the way to college ball. The fallout of this action (or inaction) will be devastating, to say the least. In effect, it will bring the revered sport of baseball—America's so-called National Pastime"—to a screeching halt. That means no more sunny days drinking beer on the hill and heckling the opposing team's left fielder at Western's own Childress Field; no more watching our beloved Catamount team slug it out as they compete for another Southern Conference championship. But it's the younger kids that will be hurt the most. Why punish them for something they had absolutely nothing to do with? These kids just want to play baseball—period. The saddest thing *out it is that they look up to major leaguers as their role models. Now, after trying to explain why these "role models" have decided not to play this year, Little League fathers face the burden of explaining to their kids why they can't play either. Some baseball e^Perts see this as just a negotiating Pby by the players union—a last-ditch 0rt to pressure the owners into settling the strike. Others, however, consider the "mor»'s threats to be real. ESPN's Peter ammons, one of the most respected aseball insiders in the business, wrote ese shocking words on the Internet 's morning: "My sources say that the { ayer's) union is more than prepared make sure no one in America is Paying baseball after Friday night." Gammons went on to say, among other things, that the union has enlisted "hundreds of thousands" of strike sympathizers to help guard against potential strike-breakers. "They (the union) have organized sit-ins on the pitcher's mound and have hired people to cut off the power to ballparks that have night games scheduled." Gammons also wrote that, if need be, the union will use newly purchased tractors and cement mixers to either till up baseball fields or pour concrete all over them. "The union has people who are willing to throw eggs, cow manure, and other things at potential strikebreakers. The union will not discrimi nate by age, either—even Little Leaguers will be subject to retaliation for crossing the lines." Rumor has it that even softball players will be considered strike-breakers. With the co-ed intramural season underway at Western, the best advice is to play at your own risk. Hopefully, no one will have to run the risk of playing baseball or softball after this weekend—hopefully, the strike will be settled by then. But if it's not, let this be a warning to you. Play all the baseball you can before Saturday—April Fool's Day. The Final Four— Extra Points* Nothing Could Be Finer Since the entire sport of baseball will be banned (if you ever believed that nonsense, you should be severely beaten), we can turn our full attention to the Final Four in Seattle. This is truly one of the best sports weekends of the year— the spilling over of "March Madness" into April. All four teams: Oklahoma State, UCLA, Arkansas, and North Carolina have a legitimate shot at winning the championship. Oklahoma State has 7- footer Bryant "Big 'as a' Country" Reeves in their corner. He's not much to look at, and he has trouble speaking clearly, but he can flat-out play. UCLA has the talented O'Bannon brothers and spark plug point guard Tyus Edney—that's more than enough to win the title. Arkansas has all five starters back from the team that won last year's crown. But North Carolina gets my nod to cut down the nets in Seattle, mainly because they're my favorite team (other than Western, of course). There are other factors in my prediction as well. Carolina has two of the best players in the nation on its team in the persons of Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace. Donald Williams isn't too shabby, either. Williams, the 1993 Final Four MVP, would be the best player on most teams, but he's only the third best on the loaded Tarheel squad. The only question marks the Heels have had all year have centered around depth and defense. Those questions were answered against Kentucky last Saturday night. Look for Carolina to edge UCLA, the odds-on favorite, and bring the championship hardware back to Tobacco Road, where it belongs. Saturday: Oklahoma State v. UCLA 5:42 North Carolina v. Arkansas 8:00 Monday: Championship game 8:40 Stillwell Lifts Cats Past Lenoir-Rhyne Will Sullivan Associate Editor CULLOWHEE-Sophomore designated hitter Matt Stillwell couldn't have picked a better time to register his first collegiate home run. With one out and two Catamount runners on in the bottom of the ninth inning, Stillwell blasted a shot down the left field line, carrying Western to a 13-11 win last Wednesday afternoon. The homer capped off a wild game that featured comebacks by both teams. Western exploded for an early lead, scoring eight runs on six hits in their half of the second. The inning was high- Matt Stillwell. phot0 by opi lighted by back-to-back-to-back home runs off the bats of Alex Tolbert, Tony Home, and Eric Whitson. But Lenoir-Rhyne would come back. The visiting Bears erupted for five runs in the fifth inning and added a single run an inning later to close the gap to 8-6. Western scored two more runs in their half of the sixth, but Lenoir- Rhyne plated two in the seventh inning and three more in the eighth to take an 11-10 lead. The Cats' Kevin Baldwin led off the bottom of the ninth with a single, took second on Chad Moore's sacrifice bunt and Chris Rowley walked to set up Stillwell's game-winning heroics. Center fielder Jody Henson led Western's 14-hit attack with three hits. Stillwell (2 for 5, career-high 5 RBI's), Home, Whitson, and Moore each
