Swim Dogs sign three recruits
The Junkyard Dogs aren’t the only team attracting top recruits this
year. The University of Georgia swim team has signed three top pros
pects to national letters-of-intent, according to coach Jack Bauerle.
Tim Herwig, the top distance recruit in the nation, signed a national
letter last week, as did two of England’s top swimmers, Matthew
O’Conner and Ian Stewart.
“Each of these swimmers has great credentials,” Bauerle said in a
released statement “They will definitely be an asset to our program.”
Herwig of Silver Springs, Md., finished fourth in the 1000-yard free
style at the 1989 U.S. Short Course Nationals. The high school senior,
who also placed ninth in the 500-yard freestyle, earned Rookie-of-the-
Meet honors
O’Conner, the No. 3 backstroker in England, reached the finals of
the '200-meter backstroke at the Commonwealth Games in New Zea
land. The Manchester native was a teammate of former Bulldog Peter
O'Sullivan
Stewart of York won the 18-under English national championship in
the 200-ynrd Individual Medley. He also placed third in the 200-yard
backstroke in the Senior National Meet.
With the departure of seniors O’Sullivan, Trevor Hodges and Curt
Barnes, Bauerle said all three signees have “the capability to make an
impact on the team next year.”
Nine student-athletes join Blue Key
Tech stings Dogs 12-5 to even series
By ERIC GARBER
Sports Writer
ATLANTA — The games were
similar, but the outcomes were dif
ferent.
Tuesday night the fifth-ranked
Georgia baseball team bounced
back from a five-run deficit to de
feat Georgia Tech 8-6. Wednesday
was a different story.
Yes, Georgia did fall behind
Wednesday, but no, the Diamond
Dogs didn’t come back. In the end
23rd-ranked Tech defeated
Georgia 12-5 to improve its record
to 40-16 and drop the Dogs to 42-
11. Georgia still needs one more
win to break the schcxil record for
most victories in a season.
For three innings Georgia
starter Tracy Wildes wove himself
in and out of trouble and went into
the fourth with a 2-0 lead.
However, Wildes’ luck ran out.
Tech let out all its frustration from
the night before by hitting back to
back homers off the freshman en
route to a seven-run fourth.
After he forced Mike Reynolds to
foul out with the bases loaded that
inning, Wildes proceded to walk in
two runs. Right fielder Tom Green
then scored Kenny Bonafay on a
sacrifice fly to right. That set the
scene for center fielder Darren
Ray Suplee: Freshman is still batting .355 despite 0-for-4 performance against Tech.
Nine University student-athletes became members of the Blue Key
National Honor Fraternity recently. The nine new initiates accounted
for over 15 percent of the 59 Georgia students honored.
Alec Kessler of the basketball
team heads the list of new mem
bers of the organization, which
recognizes outstanding achieve
ment in scholarship, cnaracter,
leadership and service.
Also named by the club were:
Anne Cain, golf, Matthews, NC;
Amanda Cockburn, golf & track,
Orilla, Ontario; Lowry Dentry,
football, JeBup; Al Parker, ten
nis, Claxton; raula Maheu, gym
nastics, Westchester, Pa.; Jill
Waldman, tennis, Charleston,SC;
Sheila Taormina, Livonia, Mich.,
swimming; and Marguerite Roth-
enbach. Hatboro, Pa., swimming.
Bragg and DH Anthony Maisano.
Bragg took advantage of Wildes’
shaky composure and hit a three-
run shot over the left-field wall to
give the Jackets a 6-2 lead.
Maisano, the very next batter,
knocked Wildes’ first offering to
the same place as he picked up his
20th homer of the year. Maisano’s
round tripper tied Geogia Tech’s
single season record for most home
runs.
Still, that wasn’t enough for
Maisano. The Atlanta native broke
the record with a solo shot in the
seventh.
“I’m happy I was able to break
the record. I just think that comes
with winning,” Maisano said.
“They threw me curveballs and I fi
nally got a hold of a couple. It’s
good to beat the fifth team in the
nation.”
Wildes was credited with the
loss and now stands at 5-3.
Georgia’s three pitchers walked 11
batters in the game.
“Well come back,” Wildes said.
“Our hitting will carry us. I’m com
pletely confident well be back.”
With a win, Georgia could have
won the season series against the
Jackets, but instead come away
with a four-game split.
Tech left-handed starter Doug
Creek, who toured Team USA with
Georgia pitcher Dave Fleming this
past summer, allowed five runs in
six and two-thirds innings to earn
his ninth win against two losses.
Track team travels to Minnesota
The University track team hits the road for the last time before
^FCs when they travel to Minneapolis for the Minnesota Relays today.
. llt ? Track Dogs will be travelling to the Midwest for the second straight

and Saturday. Jolly Earle will be aiming for her seventh straight first-
place finish in a distance event. The senior All-American won in the

Marc Pisciotta came in to finish the
game.
“It was just a bad day,” coach
Steve Webber said. “We walked
people all night and our hitters
weren’t hitting. Tech did a good job
finishing off their rallies.”
The game remained scoreless
until the top of the third when J.R.
Showalter crocked his second
home run in two days, this one a
two run shot over the left field wall
scoring Jeff Cooper.
Wildes allowed the Jackets to
put runners on the comers with
two outs in the third but forced An-
thony Maisano to ground out and
end the inning.
Both teams wasted doubles in
their first at bat, marking the only
scoreless first inning between
these teams in four games this
season.
The all-time series between
Georgia and Georgia Tech, which
began in 1898, now stands at 140-
110-1 in the Dogs favor.
The Diamond Dogs host Ole
Miss in a pivotal three-game SEC
series this weekend at Foley Field.
