the final two outs of the sixth,
keeping the game tied at five.
After that, it became a
pitching duel between the Red
Storm bullpen and Lamar’s
right-hander Harris, who gave
up only three hits, no runs and
no walks in 8 2/3 innings.
Harris continued to blank
the Red Storm through the bot-
tom of the 14th when Lamar’s
junior shortstop Jeremy Gray
reached base for a second time
because of an in-field error.
Jordan Foster’s ground out to
second allowed for Gray to
move up a base, but the Cards
were left with only one out to
work with.
With Gray on second, St.

to people and getting their
views on all kinds of issues that
concern our area,” Desiree
Martinez, a member of Alpha
Delta Pi, said.
“Campaigning has been so
much fun I might consider run-
ning one day. In fact, I think
Baldwin for president has a nice
ring to it,” said Pi Kappa Alpha
John’s decided to intentionally
walk senior out-fielder Brett
Winn, who was a constant
threat at the plate all weekend
against the Red Storm.
During the series, Winn
homered and tripled and was
responsible for a great many of
the runs Lamar scored.
Following the intentional
walk, a wild pitch allowed both
Gray and Winn to advance
bases, putting Winn at second
and Gray at third with two outs.
This freed up a base for Rocky
Craigren who watched a 3-2
pitch sail wide to load the bases
for John Allen.
St. John’s pitching staff
could not recover after the
bases were loaded on zero hits
and the one error by their third
baseman. And with a 3-1 count
on senior out-fielder John
Allen, the Cards red-stormed
member Josh Baldwin
“This has been a great
experience. We work very hard
and at the same time we are
learning a lot and having fun,
especially when Tommy brings
pizza or nachos from Rio
Rita’s,” Kristin Adams, a mem-
ber of Alpha Delta Pi, said.
Gard, who is a graduate of
Lamar and an alumnus of Pi
Kappa Alpha, said he saw his
fraternal ties as an opportunity
to get more young people
involved in the political arena.
weekend came to a close as
Allen’s RBI walk ended the
game, making the score 6-5 in
all of 14 innings.
In the series opener on
Friday, however, the Red Storm
came out with solid pitching in a
3-2 win, frustrating the Cards’
offense to only four hits and
two runs as they took the first
game of the series.
And in Saturday’s game,
the Red Storm took a different
approach, turning on the bats in
a late-inning comeback to steal
Game 2 with a final score of 7-
5.
The Cards play Friday,
Saturday and Sunday against
Marist. All games are at
Vincent-Beck Stadium. Friday’s
game is at 7 p.m., Saturday’s at 2
p.m. and Sunday’s at 1 p.m.
“When I was at Lamar, I
encouraged other students to
get evolved in elections because
I recognized that students are
affected by the decisions made
by politicians, and even today I
feel just as strong about that as I
did all those years ago,” Guard
said.
Gard said that the student
turn-out at the polls is dismal,
and that many elections are won
or lost by a marginal number.
“Just look at what hap-
pened in Florida,” he said.

ates the long and dedicated
service provided by Chancellor

Texas and is pleased that his
expertise and experience will

the management of the Texas
State University System,”

“This is the work of Jews

tion, he said. Soon, all universi-
ties will change to new systems
not using Social Security num-
bers.
The transition is expected
to go smoothly, he said, with
many students not even notic-
ing the change. Students will
be able to access the same
information and data, but the
Social Security numbers will
never be displayed on a docu-
ment.
Ferguson said the cost of
implementing the new system
was nominal. SCT Computing,
the university’s vendor, pro-
vided the school with the basic
programming.
“Our only cost was paying
the programmer to make the
change in the system,” he said.
