One loss does not a season make
By ERIC GARBER
Sports Writer
Many Georgia baseball players
have said a game against state
rival Georgia Tech is just another
game.
However, after the team’s emo
tional 12-5 loss to the 23rd-ranked
Yellow Jackets Wednesday night,
some of the Diamond Dogs looked
like the team just lost the World
Series.
But one loss does not a season
make.
Coming into this weekend’s
three-game series against SEC
rival Ole Miss, Georgia is 42-11
and needs just one win to break the
all-time Georgia record for victo
ries in a season with seven regular
season games left.
The team is in first place in the
SEC with a 16-5 record, one game
ahead of LSU.
In addition to taking on the Re
bels, the Dogs will experience the
dedication of Foley Field’s new sta
dium Saturday at 4:30 pm., an
hour before the Dogs play a double-
header.
Many former Georgia baseball
lettermcn and various athletic offi
cials will be on hand to participate
in the recognition.
‘This is a very exciting time for
Georgia baseball," said Avery Mc
Lean of Georgia Baseball Promo
tions. “The timing is good for this
dedication. We have a tremendous
team this year, our fan turnout has
been excellent, and our stadium
will be one of the nicest in the
south.”
Among the guests to make ap
pearances for the occassion will be
Honorary Chairman Jim Whatley,
who currently holds the Georgia
record for most wins ns a conch
with 334, and former player and
coach Charley Trippi.
Cain leads Lady Golf Dogs to SEC tourney
capture the South Carolina Invita
tional and the Women’s Southern
Intercollegiate (WSIC). "But that’s
not to say they were cake walks.”
Much like those putts, this
weekend’s SEC Tournament at the
Port Armor Country Club will defi
nitely not be a cake walk for Anne
Cain and the No. 8 Lady Dogs.
Florida and Auburn — Nos. 6
and 7, respectively — come to the
course near Greensboro, Ga., along
with the other seven SEC teams
looking to wrest the advantage
from the host Lady Dogs.
"Port Armor will separate the
teams that are patient from those
who just go up and drive the ball,”
Georgia coach Beans Kelly said.
The Auburn-Georgia-Florida
trio, which has accounted for all
nine SEC titles, nre once again the
favorites.
The three schools have also ac
counted for nine champions. Diane
Rama, the 1989 medalist from Au
burn, returns with a 78.1 average
through 12 rounds this spring.
Florida’s top swinger is senior
Lisa Hackney, who comes in with a
76.0 average following her victory
at Woodbridge.
But with two victories and a
second-place finish this spring,
Cain comes in as the most consis
tent.
“I’ve been playing real consis
tent,” Cain said. "And that’s really
more important than the two victo
ries.”
Georgia has captured the South
Carolina Invitational and WSIC,
while the Lady Gators have won
their last two — the Woodbridge
Collegiate and the Florida State
Intercollegiate.

Mo means tenacious tennis
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Writer
Around Henry Feild Stadium,
he’e known simply as “Mo.”
He's like n street fighter who
wields a racquet instead of a
switchblade nnd isn’t afraid to
bleed.
Mike Morrison is a fiery,
gritty, senior who is seldom in
timidated and is ndnmnntly op
posed to losing.
A co-captain on the Georgia
men’s tennis team, “Mo” is the
second-seeded player in the
Georgia State Collegiate
Championships, which begin
today nt Henry Feild Stadium.
Jean bagtoire of Abraham
Baldwin, the 1989 National Ju
nior College champion, is the
tournament’s No. 1 seed.
“You always want a guy like
Mo on your side,” fellow senior
•oo captain Jim Childs said. "He’ll
scrap, claw and fight until he can
win. He's a tenacious player that
keeps coming at you.”
“Matches become wars,” Mor
rison said. “Especially when I see
myself bleed.
“If it’s a big point, I’ll dive for it
if necessary,” ne said. “I hate to
lose, I just have to gut it out a
lot.”
The game of the 5-foot-6 Deer
field, Illinois native is a steady
one, but without any big weapons
to bail him out.
“I just have to fight,” Morrison
said. “I can’t rely on a big serve or
something. I have to always fight
it out.”
When the chips are down ar.J
the match is on the line, Morrison
seldom cracks.
“Whenever it’s a big point, and
he needs to make a shot, he
would always hit it,” Morrison’s
doubles partner Patricio Arnold
said. “He never has a doubt. He’s
always so sure and so confident.”
“When you’re under tough cir
cumstances, you raise your
ame,” Morrison said. “You just
ave to turn your game up a
notch. You can’t worry, you’ve
just got to play.”
In Georgia's 5-4 victory over
Auburn on April 24, Morrison’s
play was crucial in the win — de
feating Jerry Frantz at No. 3 sin
gles and clinching the match with
Arnold in the decisive doubles
match.
Against LSU in the semi-finals
of the SEC Championships this
past weekend, Morrison upset
the nation's No. 25-ranked
p ayer, Tom Furukrnntz, in
straight secs before again
clinching the match with Arnold.
“I feel really good right now,”
Morrison said. “My win over Fu-
rukrantz was my best of the year.
A win like that is great to come
off of heading into the NCAAs.”
