Too close to call

A weekend doubleheader split with
EastemMennoniteUniversitypushed
the baseball team’s record to 13-17
with just four games remaining in what
has been a disappointing season thus
far. The Seahawks must win all four
games this week, three against Divi­sion
II opponent Bowie State and one
against Division I University ofMary-land
- Eastern Shore, to finish the
season .500 for the first time in two
years.
Gordon Hawley pitched all seven
innings in the Seahawks’ 5-4 loss to
Eastern Mennonite, allowing a game-winning
double in the bottom of the
seventh inning. The loss was Hawley’s
fifth one-run defeat this season and
dropped his record to 3-6. However,
Hawley leads the team, and is in the
top 5 in the conference, in Earned Run
Average at just under three and a half
runs per game.
Freshman sensation Spike Altman
pitched the tail half of the double-header,
masterfully working the strike
zone and holding off a potent Eastern
Mennonite attack to lead St. Mary’s to
a 4-3 win. Altman has been the biggest
surprise of the season, leading the
pitching staff with a 6-1 record (2-1 in
the CAC).
The Seahawks struggled early in
the season, but seemed to hit stride,
winning five of eight games over Spring
Break. However,tough times followed
with a string of close losses. Inconsis­tency
and an inability to win close
games have been the Seahawks’ down­fall
all season long.
The highlight of the season was a
doubleheader sweep of conference ri­val
Catholic University. Both games
were won in the Seahawks’ final at
bat, the second coming on a game-winning
home-runby IanTaylor which
cleared the left field wall and bounced
high off of the maintenance building
across the roadway.
Taylor quickly showed a proficiency
for turning around opposing pitchers’
fastballs, staying on the conference
leader board in Runs Batted In all
season long.
In addition to the efforts of Taylor,
Brian Lopez has led the Seahawks in
hitting, batting over .400 for the better
part of the season while being forced
to move from the outfield to behind the
plate because of roster changes.
Dave Layman and Alan Baker have
played well up the middle, anchoring
a Seahawk defense which has been
strong at times, but generally incon­sistent.
Dylan Trache and Mike Hughes
have both performed admirably in left
field and right field, positions neither
of them have played before.
The Seahawks will conclude their
season this coming weekend with a
home doubleheader against Bowie
State on Saturday.

“Rankings are onpaper, the game
is on the field.” Under this motto
the Seahawks recently battled
Washington & Lee, currently
ranked sixth in the nation. The
match proved to be a virtual dog­fight.
The Hawks held the lead for
nearly three quarters of the game,
however the W&L Generals es­caped
with the victory, the final was
a painful 13-12. Although the
Hawks didn’t come away with the
win, they did seize the oppotumty
to prove themselves as one of the
best teams in the country.
Essential to the Hawks effort was
the enthusiastic support of the fans
who crowded the Boneyard. The
team is grateful for the support
they’ve had throughout the season
and credit much of their success to
dedication of the greatest fans in the
sport of lacrosse.
Three days later the Hawks were
home again, venting their frustra­tions
on CAC opponent Goucher
College. St. Mary’s climbed to a 2-
0 conference record and 8-1 overall
with a 15-4 victory over the Go­phers.
The next conference game

Mary Washington College in an away
match. Although the team came out
flat, they would not be overcome, and
walked away with a 9-8 win.

the Seahawks at fourteenth in the na­tion
with a record of 9-1. Today at 4

entire team contributed to the scoring efforts.
