Dogs pitch hard, but lose to Deacons
By JJ. COOPER
Staff Writer
Although it is early in the season,
it's already clear that the success of the
Georgia baseball team this year, will
depend on its strong pitching. The ro
tation of Jim Musselwhite, John Hill
and Brad Butler and reliever Alex
Barylak is expected to carry the team.
But on Sunday, strong pitching per
formances by Hill and Barylak were
not enough to counter superb pitching
by Wake Forest, as the Demon Deacons
escaped with a 2-1 win.
The Bulldogs had runners on third
with less than two outs in both the
eighth and ninth innings, but Wake
Forest reliever Bret Wagner used a
blistering fastball to get himself out of
trouble.
In the eighth inning, Jeff Gray,
John Yselonia and Reggie Ingram hit
Wagner with consecutive singles to
score the Bulldogs first run.
But with the tying run on third,
Wagner struck out Chris Stowers and
JefT Roesler to end the inning. Both
Stowers and Roesler were unable to
catch up to Wagner’s fastball.
In the ninth, Bulldog pitch hitter
Rodney Close led off the inning with a
double. Scott Haley sacrificed him to
third, but Wagner struck out Todd
Crane and Pete Arenas to end the
game.
“He was bringing it wasn’t he,”
Bulldog starter John Hill said after the
game.
“When he needed a pitch he went
with his fastball,” said Bulldog head
Pitcher John Hill on the mound on Sunday.
coach Steve Webber.
“It was probably an
even more outstand
ing performance
than (Wake Forest
starter Jason)
Robbins.”
Wagner and
Robbins perfor
mances overshad
owed a strong outing
by Hill. After Kyle
Wagner scored in
the first, Hill man
aged to pitch out of a
bases-loaded jam.
He then proceeded
to hold the Demon
Deacons to one hit in
the next six innings.
But the long first
inning eventually
caught up with Hill,
as allowed a hard-
hit double to Kyle
Wagner before leav
ing in the eighth in
ning. Wagner later
scored on a walk by reliever Brian
Swistak.
“When you have a 30-pitch inning in
the first, somewhere down the line
that’s going to catch up with you,”
Webber said.
Robbins pi tel d seven scoreless in
nings for Wake ’orest to pick up his
first win of the .son.
“I don’t thir will hurt the team
at all,” Gray think we’ll come
back well nex
On Saturday, Georgia starter Jim
Musselwhite struck out ten and al
lowed only three hits as the Bulldogs
won 4-0. Arenas led the Bulldogs with
three hits, a run-batted-in and a run
scored. Yselonia scored two runs.
The Bulldogs are now 4-1, while
Wake Forest is 3-1. The Bulldogs will
travel to Statesboro to play Georgia
Southern on Tuesday and Wednesday
before returning to play Austin Peay
State on Friday at Foley Field.
Dogs first scrimmage
decidedly unimpressive
By TED KIAN
Staff Writer
The Georgia football team scrimmaged
Saturday at Sanford Stadium for the first
time this season, looking unimpressive as a
team. The Dogs were plagued with penalties,
mistakes and dropped balls all afternoon.
“It looked like it was the first scrimmage,”
said Georgia Head Coach Ray Goff. “There
were too many penalties and too many
dropped balls, and when we do this it’s very
disappointing.”
The Bulldogs felt the ill-effects of missing
three of their top stars as quarterback Eric
Zeier, linebacker Randall Godfrey and safety
Greg Tremble all missed the scrimmage due
to injuries. Godfrey has a shoulder injury and
Tremble had a pulled hamstring. Goff was
unsure when either would return.
Zeier has not scrimmaged all spring due to
a knee injury, although he has been throwing
passes at practice.
Goff became irate after repeated questions
on when Zeier would return.
“We ain’t gonna take a chance on getting
him hurt when he is not well,” he said.
Scatback Terrell Davis was very impres
sive, unofficially rushing for 173 yards on 17
carries. Davis scored the only touchdown of
the scrimmage on a 67-yard-run.
“Terrell did some good things running the
ball today,” Goff said. “But he has to get more
physical (when) blocking.”
The San Diego native, who is the front
runner to succeed Garrison Hearst at the po
sition, was pleased with his performance.
“I like the way I performed today,” Davis
said. “I feel like I did a good job, but I’m still
not satisfied.”
‘We ain’t gonna take a
chance on getting him hurt
when he is not well.’

commenting on quarterback
Eric Zeier’s return
Defensively, sophomore strong safety
Buster Owens had a solid day. Owens record
ed a sack and two interceptions.
“Buster can do some really good things,”
Goff said. “The only thing that can keep
Buster from being a very good player is him
self.”
All-SEC linebacker Mitch Davis had his
normal solid performance on Saturday. Davis
recorded three sacks, and provided consistent
pressure all day.
“I feel like I did a good job, personally,” the
senior linebacker said. “But I also feel like my
job requires me to get the other guys up to
play.”
Chances of NCAA Tournament. king slimmer
Lady Dogs lose to
Janet Harris’s No. 45 jersey was retired at half-time
Lady Tennis Dogs
lose in semi-finals
By CHIP SIECZKO
Staff Writer
The Georgia women’s basketball
team threw its chances of making
the NCAA Tournament into severe
question by making 40 turnovers en
route to their 67-50 loss against vis
iting Alabama, Sunday afternoon.
The game got off to an ominous
start for the battered and bruised
Bulldogs (17-11, 4-7 in the SEC),
who were unable to get on the score-
board until 2:48 had elapsed on the
clock, courtesy of junior Deborah
Reese, who finished with a team-
high 13 points. Luckily for Georgia,
Alabama (18-7, 6-5 in the SEC)
started off nearly as cold as the
Dogs, shooting a mere 23.3 percent
from the field in the first half.
Although the four-guard Georgia
“Quad Squad” was only able to lead
the Dogs to a 30.3 percent shooting
performance themselves, their 29-
18 rebounding edge allowed them to
handle the Tide’s full-court pres
sure well enough to take a 29-23
lead into the locker room at the
half.
Halftime saw the retirement of
only the third jersey in 19 years of
Georgia women’s basketball - Janet
Harris’ No. 45. Harris, who was
Georgia’s all-time scoring (2,641)
and rebounding (1,398) leader,
wished the current Bulldog team
luck as they came out from the lock
er room to watch the ceremony.
However, the Bulldogs came out
just as flat in the second half as
they did in the first. Their first
bucket didn’t come until 2:28 had
gone by, thanks to senior Medina
Turner, who finished with nine
points and seven rebounds.
However, Georgia coach Andy
Landers wasn’t about to attribute
Alabama
the loss to a stomach virus or in
juries.
“I didn’t see any fatigue or ill ef
fects,” Landers said. “All I saw, was
a bunch of nonchalant basketball
players.”
Simply put, Georgia seemed un
able to handle the Alabama press,
as they committed 20 turnovers in
each half.
“It’s a case of our total careless
ness,” said an obviously perturbed
Landers. “I cannot believe that we
turned the ball over 40 times. We
had no focus.”
Senior Camille Lowe, who fin
ished with a season-low four points,
all of which came from the foul line,
echoed Landers’ sentiments.
“We just played terrible,” Lowe
said. “We started rushing a lot and
kind of got out of control 40-some
thing times.”
Landers said this game will ad-
versly affect their chances for the
tournament is slim.
“Lets be real. For us to get to the
NCAA Tournament, we have got to
get the automatic bid from the SEC
Tournament.”
As a result of the loss, Georgia
will be the 8th seed in this week
end’s SEC Tournament, meaning
the Bulldogs will take on 9th seed
Arkansas at 1:00 p.m. this Friday,
in Chattanooga Tenn.
