tributed four assists and
four steals to the Redbirds’
victory.

Cowboys got on the board
first in Monday’s game as
Mack Golden shot a 20-
footer to put the Pokes at
an early 2-0 advantage.
There would be eight ties
and three lead changes
before the teams retired at
intermission with the Birds
leading 1-36.

Cowboys in foul trouble
with their two leading
scorers, Lawrence and

advantage over the Pokes

gone in the second half.

climbing as the Birds went
ahead by 20 (66-46) when
Lewis was charged with a
technical for grabbing the
rim.
The Birds cameback
from the foul to up the ad-
vantage by another nine
points as Williams shot a
turnaround to make the
score 84-55.
The Cowboys rallied with
7:17 remaining in the
game, and Faggi put one
in to top a six-point streak
that left the score 86-63.

Cardinals lose opening games
MIAMI—Lamar left-han-
ded reliever Lew Surratt,
Beaumont junior, uncorked
a wild pitch in the bottom of
the ninth to help Florida In-
ternational to a 7-6 win over
the Cardinal baseball team
Monday.
The Cards had tied the
see-saw game at 6-6 in the
top of the ninth.
First baseman Kerry
Christensen, Louisville,
Ky., sophomore, started
the rally by slamming a
solo home run over left cen-
terfield. Designated hitter
Wayne Schwing, Dix Hills,
N.Y., junior, reached first
on an error and tied the
game when third baseman
Kim Christensen,
Louisville, Ky.,
sophomore, hammered a
single deep into right field.
Surratt, working in relief
of starter John Fren, Med-
ford, N.Y., freshman, for-
ced the first two FIU bat-
ters out in the ninth, but
catcher Peter Dawes
reached first on an error by
LU shortstop Jimmy
Castino, Groves senior.
Pinch-runner Pat Bone
kept the rally alive when
Castino dropped Kerry’s
throw to Second after an at-
tempted packoff play at fir-
st..Bone moved to third on
a passed ball, and scored
the winning ruij on
Surratt’s wild pitch.
The lost to FIU put the
Cards at 0-4 on the season
as the baseball team con-
tinued what has proved to
be a disastrous road trip.
In their season opener
Saturday, the Cards drop-
ped both games of a double-
header to the University of
Miami. In the first game,
the Redbirds lost 9-1, and
then lost in the nightcap as
the Hurricanes breezed to a
11-5 victory.
In the opener, the
Hurricanes were in the
process of a no-hitter when
Schwing slammed the ball
over the fence for a home
run in the top of the seventh
to produce Lamar’s only
run of the game. Miami
held an 8-0 lead before Sch-
wing recorded his run.
UM scored its first three
runs of the game in the
second inning when Ross
Jones hit a three-run
homer after the two batters
before him had been
walked.
Another major obstacle
in the Cards’ opener was
the four errors that was
committed. Two of them
were attributed to catcher
Rich Bailey, Forest Hills,
N.Y., sophomore, while in-
fielders Kim Christensen,
Louisville, Ky.,
sophomore, and Jimmy
Castino, Groves senior,
were responsible for the
other two.
The second game of the
doubleheader saw the Car-
dinals a little more com-
petitive as they fell 11-5.
The Redbirds outhit the
Hurricanes 8-7 in the night
game, but pitcher Craig
Fisch, St. Louis,. Mo.,
senior, walked seven bat-
ters. Four of those walks
crossed the plate in the
second inning to give
Miami a 4-0 advantage.
Lamar scored once in the
second inning as Schwing
raced home on a single by
Castino. Schwing got on
base with a single and took
second base when Miami
walked Kerry.
Kim hit a homer to
produce one of the scores in
the fifth inning, and the
other run came when
Castino came in from
second on a hit by Alan
Marr, Brooklyn, N.Y.,
senior.
Lamar had its final runs
in the eighth as Kim drove
in brother Kerry and Earl
Hathaway, Cleburne
junior.
The Cardinal round-
bailers set a new record
Sunday when they were
blown away by the
Hurricanes 21-1. It was the
worst defeat in history for a
Cardinal baseball team.
Miami had a 21-point
lead before Lamar could
get a run. In the ninth, Jeff
Kennedy, Louisville, Ky.,
freshman, hit a single, and
then advanced to second on
a wild Miami pitch. Ken-
nedy reach third on a fly
ball by Mark Snipp,
Louisville, Ky.,
sophomore, before heading
home on a ground out by
Pete Romano, Brooklyn,
N.Y., freshman.
The Cardinal baseball
team will be in Houston
Feb. 15-17 for the Rice
University tournament,
and will open their home
schedule Feb. 22 when they
host Baylor University of
Waco.
