I Maverick baseball

,I down, but not out

'i John Trumble ~------­ Sta.ff Writer

The Mesa State Maverick baseball team has seen better starts to the season in the past, but "we haven't won or lost anything, yet," said coach Chris Hanks. "It's still early enough where we still have a chance to turn things around and have a good season," he continued. With only one win going into a big series against the Division I Brigham Young University Cougars the Mavs concentrated on hitting, as the team's bat­ ting average was only .224. In the first game, they did improve on that average. After the Cougars drew first blood with a solo home run in the top half of the first , the Mavs got on the board in the bottom of the second and never looked back. In the bottom of the fourth inning, on the strength of a junior catcher Rion Sundloff grand slam Mesa State exploded for six runs. After a two-run BYU surge in the fifth inning, the Maverick offense reared its head again and strung together a flurry of hits and posted a five­ spot in the bottom of the sixth. After a six-inning, three- performance by junior starter T. Jay Gilpatrick, sophomore Totty Lopez came in to close the deal and the Mavs went on to a 14-4 victory for the second win of the season.
