The Daily Tar HeelFriday, April 21, 19899 i : . : i Toyroey as lax visits Blue Devils By CHRISTINA FROHOCK 'Sbff Writer ''How do you describe a game between the only two Division I lacrosse teams south of Virginia? ' Now what if those teams are located only twenty minutes from one another? . ,Yes, ACC rivals North Carolina ind Duke face off at 2 p.m. on Saturday in Durham. And this game means a lot more than just a win or a loss for the two teams. - UNC senior attackman Neill Redf ern called it "a great matchup. It's their ticket into the NCAA tourna ment, and it's our chance to prove 'we're the best in the neighborhood." The sixth-ranked Tar Heels are psyched up for this regular season finale. They are ready to defend their title of best lacrosse in North Carolina after stomping on the Blue Devils 18 9 in 1988. .- However, the 8-3 Tar Heels are heading to Duke Lacrosse Field after disappointing performances against Syracuse, Johns Hopkins and, sur prisingly, Maryland. ''"A win against Duke can ease the pain of those disappointments. ' Redfern said that his team is well equipped to crush the Blue Devils. We're all convinced that if we play Out of the I pitched in a slow-pitch softball game for the first time recently. Tossing an oversized baseball under hand might look easy, but you can rest assured that it's not. -Just tossing the ball for a strike is hard enough with all the crazy guidelines of softball. Also, when lobbed underhand, the ball is going so slow that hitters can sneeze while the ball is in flight and still have time to whack it into the next time zone. The mound is an especially easy target for a hot smash. I wasn't wearing my cup, so my manhood was in jeopardy with each pitch. A few years ago, I never dreamed I'd be playing softball now. I didn't even consider it a real sport; I thought it was Baseball For Wimps. If you couldn't hit or catch a baseball, then you played slow-pitch softball. Hey, I know I was wrong. Softball is fun. Besides, once I got to high school, softball pitching was the only hittable kind for me. " ' Nevertheless, I was surprised when I was called upon to pitch in this Co Rec intramural softball game. Before we go any further, let's explain some of the rules of Co-Rec softball. The lineup consists of both males and females who alternate in the batting order. . One rule says that if a guy walks, the next girl has the option to walk automatically. I guess it's a good rule for fairness, but some of those girls that get a free walk are big and strong. A couple of them could play defensive end for the Los Angeles Raiders. They can hit the ball so hard that the color from the bat sticks on the ball. Anyway, I decided not to be nervous when I went in to pitch, even though we had blown a 7-0 lead and led only 9-6. The purpose of playing these games was for fun and sports manship, right? What the heck, I would just do my best and hope that my teammates didn't tar and feather me because my pitching made them Jose by 15 runs. My first inning was great. I gave up no runs and one walk Two people flied to left, and one grounded to second. In the bottom of the last inning, I went in at shortstop. But the current 1989 U ACKETY ACK The Yearbook of the University of North Carolina u SpOFtS Campus Calendar seed i nigs well, well win," he said. "Lacrosse is a sport of confidence, and we're looking pretty good right now. But the attackmen can't play the game on their own. The midfield will be filled with some of UNC's finest players. Sophomore Todd Oudemool can be expected to take many faceoffs from the Blue Devils. The attackmen and middies need , to be aggressive, according to senior defenseman Scott Price. "We need to put a lot of pressure on the goalie," he said. "We Ye got to test him early." Redfern agreed, saying, "We need to get the ground balls and be strong on offense. It's not a case of anyone playing well. It's the team that matters." On the opposite end of the field, the Blue Devils will have to rely on the abilities of a young defensive squad and an inexperienced goalkeeper. Merit Award winner and four-year starter defenseman Micheal Conway graduated in 1988, and Duke must work hard to replace him. Sopho mores Keith Melchionni and Micheal Murphy and junior John Wiseman will try to stop the Tar Heels from finding the goal. Vying for the starting position in pen: a save, a loss David Kupstas Staff Writer pitcher, who had started on the mound and came back in, ran into some deep trouble. We were only up v-o at tnis point, the oases were loaded, there was nobody out and the pitcher decided he wanted somebody else to put out the fire. Yep, me. Great. So here I am pitching in a jam that would make Dave Righetti cringe. Of course, fate would put a male at the plate, meaning that if he walked, the next girl automatically walked and forced in the winning run. The guy was obviously not going to swing. He let the count go to 3 1 before taking strike two. I still had to get this last strike, though, or our season was over. I threw the payoff pitch. It was right down the middle, but I couldn't tell if I had thrown it too deep. "Strike!" the iimp yelled. I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the call could have gone either way. Now there was one out. I got ahead ol the next batter with one ball and two strikes. The next pitch was outside for a ball, but the last pitch was perfect. Boom! She took it for a called strike three. I couldn't believe it. Two stri keouts. I could feel the momentum shifting back our way. One last batter to deal with. He swung at my two strike offering. It was a bouncing ball between shortstop and third. The shortstop who stood to be the losing pitcher if the ball got into the outfield showed great range to his right. He snagged the ball and raced over to tag third for the last out. Incredible. We had been one pitch away from having to pack our bags for the year, and now we were advancing to the next round of the playoffs. Also, my performance notched me a save my first ever anywhere. The team rewarded me by starting me on the hill the next week. The score was knotted at three as we batted in the bottom half of the last inning. With two outs, one of our YOU AIN'T READ NOTHIN' YET!

Sights & Insights at stake the Duke goal will be sophomore Mike Kolden and freshman Eugene Glavin. The Tar Heel scorers can't forget about the other side of the coin. Price and Redfern agreed that Duke attackmen Josh Dennis and Paul Mahoney will be serious threats to the UNC defense. Junior All-America Dennis leads the ACC conference in goals scored and in points. He also netted the winner in Duke's 10-8 upset of third ranked Navy earlier in the season. Senior co-captain Mahoney is working for All-ACC honors and is seventh on the Duke career scoring chart with 150 points. However, Dennis and Mahoney will be facing a veteran UNC defense. Captain Paul Fitzpatrick, Carlo Grohovac, Craig O'Callaghan, Scott Price and Greg Vamos will all be guarding the goal in their senior game against Duke. Senior Pat Olmert will be in goal ready to block the shots. So how do you describe a game between UNC and Duke? Price sees it as a gentleman's contest. "We need to respect their ability," he said. "But we can still play hard and tough." guys hit a sharp line drive which got past the right fielder. He came all the way around to score, thus making us apparent 4-3 winners. This is a good time to voice my gripe. Whoever allotted 45 minutes to complete a softball game ought to be fed to the wolves. I know that there's 1001 teams wanting to use four fields, so there has to be some limit. But Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over til it's over," not "It ain't over til 45 minutes have elapsed, whether or not your best hitters are corning up and there's still more innings left." Of course I'm complaining because we got burned. When the third out was made after we took the lead, there was all of one minute left. One whole minute. The next inning had to start since there was time left, and the other team scpred five runs to beat us 8 4. That was it. It was fun, though. I had one save, three Ks, two walks and I gave up six or seven hits in my two appearances. Not bad for a guy whose career baseball ERA is probably close to his weight, The 0-1 record, however, will haunt me all summer, fall and winter long.
