FROM: BOB GILLULY SPORTS NEWS EDITOR MONTANA UNIVERSITY MISSOULA-- A player isn't necessarily in a slump when he hits 3-for-8 in a doubleheader, hut Montana first baseman Terry Screnar must be wondering if his hitting lately hasn't taken on the characteristics of a slump-- everything he hits goes right to a fielder. Last weekend, Terrible Terry got three hits in eight trips against Brigham Young. But he could have gone 8-for-8 with a little luck. Every pitch Screnar hit in tow games had "base hit" written on it. In the first game against the Cougars, Screnar opened with a long drive that BYU centerfielder Roger Burt grabbed off the wall. Then he slapped a wicked liner right to second baseman Hugh McMillan. In his third trip, Screnar lofted the easiest out of the day, but Cougar rightfielder Bob Mosteller still was almost against the wall when he caught the ball. Screnar doubled and singled his other two trips in the game. In the second game, the Montana All-Skyliner blasted another long drive that Burt grabbed against the fence. His second time up, Terry socked a three-run homer over the right field wall. He was walked his third time at the plate, then was robbed of a sure double in his final appearance when Burt made a sensational grab of another wicked drive. In eight Skyline games this season, Screnar has 13 hits in 29 appearances for a .448 average. This includes four homers, a triple and four doubles, with 13 runs batted in. He has only two errors in the eight tussles, and is fielding .971* Other Silvertips high up in Skyline averages are pitcher-outfielder Butch Hendricks, who is hitting .476; outfielder Floyd Ayers, with a .367 average; catcher Chuck Miltenberger with a .333 mark, and pitcher Ken Wimett, who is hitting .444 in four games.
