Junior Don Padulla pitched his first intercollegiate game ever, going the full seven innings and allowing only three hits to notch the win. Hot-hitting Ed Napolitano WELCOME BACK blasted a home run in the game. The Rams lost the first game 11-10 in 11 in- nings. Lyons said about the loss, "We blew it. Our fielding was atrocious. Fielding has been our major weakness this fall. In the in- field and outfield, it's been our worst ever." A bright spot in the game was the perfor- mance of blue-chip recruit Napolitano, who hit for the cycle while serving as the team's designated hitter. Fielding played an important role in the team's loss to Seton Hall on Sunday. The field at Seton Hall was a quagmire at game- time (noon) and after gasoline was poured on the turf and after two hours had elapsed, the coaches agreed to reduce the original double- header to a single game. The 8-7,10~inning loss was a "heartbreak- er," according to Lyons. The Rams saw their 4-0 and 6-4 leads disintegrate, and in the ninth inning a routine grounder to shortstop Vinny Ferraro took a peculiar hop to bring in the tying run for Seton Hall. In the tenth inning, with two out and a man on second, a blooper was lofted just out of the reach of third baseman Lenny Froio and the Rams lost another tough one. In other action, the Rams were drubbed by Adclphi, 16-5, on Tuesday, September 30. This season, .which Lyons says is prepara- tion for a difficult 32-game spring slate, has boon a "tough season, no doubt. We've be- gun to put things together but we're by no means at full strength. We're giving newer people experience by playing them but we've been slow in getting anywhere," Lyons said. Fordham has lacked the luxury of having any true home games, playing the few home games on their schedule at Allerton Field. Third baseman Billy Santo has also been in- jured and second baseman Steve Forlano has wen little action because of scheduling prob- lems. A bright spot on this season's team is Tra- <-'ey and his positive influence on the young Ham pitching staff. "He's helped our young- « pitchers a lot by what he does and what he wys. He's been a very good influence on •hem," Lyons stated. "In my years of pitching," Tracey said, "I've learned a lot and now I can take some THIS BUD'S FOR YOU!

The Rams allowed 321 yards, 267 on the ground, in a heartbreaking defeat, their sec- ond in a row. "1 didn't expect us to lose this game," said Fordham head coach Jack Stephans. "I was not pleased with the play of the team. The people we depend on didn't come through." Fordham, now 1-2, had more difficulty moving the ball, especially in the first half, than in either of its previous games. The Rams, who totaled over 600 yards on the ground in their first two games, gained only 141 rushing yards against Albany State, the first time they had amassed less than 200 yards this year. And senior halfback Juan Pacheco, in his bid to surpass 1,000 rushing yards this season, was held to under 100 yards for the first time in three outings.
