Moranda came out and argued the call as well. T thought it was a quick trig- ger, explained Moranda, but I cannot really talk about umpires. I obviously wanted to defend my guy. It was just one of those things, I guess. Starting pitcher Tyler Sexton fell to 0-4 on the mound for the Cata- mounts as he gave up five runs on eight hits through four innings. Base running errors and batting mistakes led to the demise of the Cata- mounts in game two. In the bottom of the second inning, senior Barrett Shaft stole second, freshman Ryan Mathews walked and sophomore Dylan de Graaf singled to left field. Instead of stopping at first, de Graaf tried to move to second, forc- ing Mathews to try and advance to third, and was thrown out. Senior Bar- rett Shaft tried stealing home and was thrown out as well, triggering a double play and ending the inning with no runs after having the bases loaded. This game was just one of those games that we kept making mistakes over and over and over again. Give UNC-G credit for making the adjust- ments in this game, and the bottom line for our team is that we did not play a smart game today, said Moranda. Trailing 5-1 in game three, the Catamounts scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth, four runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth to rally for the 9-5 victory improving to 10-15 overall and moving to 2-4 in the SoCon., Moranda was proud of the way his team,responded without two of | their key weapons in Murphy and J.C. Lyons, who broke his hand after game two. That was a huge win for us. We needed a series win in the league and we got it. Our three-hole hitter (Mur- phy) was suspended and our four-hole hitter (J.C. Lyons) was out with a bro- ken hand, so for our guys to step up de- spite that adversity makes me proud, said Moranda. I am really proud of the way we fought, especially when we were trailing 5-1. We battled back and won the game. Sophomore relief pitcher Chris Masters was credited with the win after keeping the Spartans hitless in five in- nings of work. Masters moves to 2-2 on the season after striking out three and walking four batters. - In the eighth inning, sophomore Tyler Kirkpatrick hit a booming homer- un over the centerfield wall. It was his seventh homer of the season and it put the Catamounts up 8-5. Shaft hit an RBI single to score Nick Liles for the final scoring output of the game for the Cats. We had two guys out of the lineup and that is just an opportunity for someone else to step up and thats what happened today. Tylers homerun in the eighth was big, it was kind of a dagger to our opponent and it put us up by three, so it was good to see that from our other guys, said Moranda. The Catamounts earned their first SoCon victories of the season and have won three straight games since losing to Georgia Southern in the series opener. At this point, they are currently on pace to finish the same way they fin- ished last season: SoCon Regular Sea- son Champions. Carolina eanere Look to Improve Key Areas in the NFL By Joel Gerber Sports Editor CULLOWHEEA cer- tain buzz is floating its way around the Carolina Panthers this off season. The front office started working to better the team as soon as the regular season was over. When asked about improving the offense, specifically adding another playmak- er to complement Steve Smith, Head Coach Jon Fox commented that we may need to add more than one. So far the Panthers off season has been exciting. They let go of un- productive players and added WRs Muhsin Muhammad from the Bears and D.J. Hackett from the Seahawks, as well as RB LaBrandon Toefield from the Jacksonville Jaguars. In addition, the Panthers strengthened both offen- sive and defensive lines with several additions at guard and defensive tackle. What really makes this off season look promising so far though: the Panthers didnt spend two million on David Carr. These additions have brought in promising talent, but there are still holes that need to be filled on the Pan- thers roster. The Panthers will look to Image Credit: nfl.com plug these holes through the upcoming NFL Draft on April 26th. An NFL Draft is a difficult thing to predict because team needs dont always translate to the value for the pick on the board. If a team doesnt like theyre position, they can try to package later round picks or players to move up in the draft. This goes vice versa as well as teams can look to gain additional draft picks by moving down in the draft. The Panthers added an ad- ditional third round pick by trading DT Kris Jenkins to the NY Jets. Assuming no trades happen, what would be an ideal first five rounds for the Panthers, Dre Moore, DT/DE, Matt Forte: RB, Tom Zbikowski: S, Marcus Harrison: DT, and Owen Schmitt: FB.
