Students’ work, new lab displayed at open house By Geoff Burns Reporter
The Visual Communication Technology program hosted its first open house since 1990 during the weekend at the College of Technology. Alumni, VCT employers, different companies and the general public attended the event. The open house involved showcasing students’ packaging work. The event also celebrated the opening of the new packaging and display lab located at 104 Park Avenue, just behind the College of Technology. Senior Justin Hamaker attended the open house and said the event was really helpful for people to come to.
“The big thing for me was that they were going to have other employers here,” Hamaker said. “That’s cool because people are looking for jobs and that’s why I am here.” The event served as an outlet for employers to get a glimpse of what the students involved with VCT are capable of and as a way for students to look into potential jobs. University President Mary Ellen Mazey attended the VCT open house and officially opened the packaging and display lab as she cut the ribbon blocking the door to the lab with other employers. “It’s always great to cut a ribbon because it means that we have new development and new technology, and the University is

New student government to meet for first time
RONALD ZEISLOFT | THE BG NEWS
DANCERS Sarah, Jasmine and Angel perform an African dance at the annual “Back to Africa” dinner at Olscamp Hall on Saturday night. Several performers and speakers were there, and guests dined on African cuisine.
Monday night will be the first meeting of the next Undergraduate Student Government administration. USG President Alex Solis and Vice President David Neely decided to have the first meeting of the new senate to establish future meeting dates. “This is something that’s very common for USG,” Solis said. During the meeting the new USG speaker, Melissa Dzienny, will propose meeting dates for the summer and next year and the senate will vote on them. The meeting will also include the swearing in of new senators that weren’t able to make the swearing-in ceremony this past week, Solis said.

He said there are about five to six new senators to swear in. All the members of Solis and Neely’s administration have not yet been decided, Solis said. Solis and Neely are currently accepting applications for members of their cabinet, which are due Friday. They will interview applicants next week and make a decision during exam week. “We’ve had a good number of applications come in already,” Solis said. There will also be a USG meeting April 23, which will be the last meeting of the semester, he said. During the meeting the organization will bring in University Chief Financial Officer Sherideen Stoll to give a budget update. Solis said he is excited to get started in his new role as USG president. “It’s still very surreal,” he said. “But it’s starting to set in. I’m pumped for summer, I think it’s going to be a really productive summer.”

cles. They wonder about their “freedom of expression.” However, the First Amendment applies to the relationship between government and citizens. It does not necessarily encompass employers and employees. That wasn’t its intended purpose. We hear the word “fairness” applied in situations where it was never meant to be. An example is tax policy. Taxation was never primarily designed to be necessarily “fair.” “Fairness” is a word that isn’t susceptible to objective measurement. A dozen people, asked to resolve an issue “fairly,” may produce four solutions, some diametrically opposed. Another example: one of the principal concepts of insurance is the pooling of the cost of infrequent and expensive events. For this reason oil changes, aspirin tablets and grass cutting are not covered by auto, medical and homeowners’ insurance policies. When this fundamental insurance principle is ignored and coverage is expanded premium costs can rise exponentially. Our federal government
was never designed to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. The best we can hope for from government is to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Note that the right protected is the “pursuit” of happiness, not happiness itself. To change the purpose of government to insure “happiness,” rather than its pursuit, is to invite the creation of the “nanny state” and an enfeebled citizenry. Whether it is lifeboats, the First Amendment, insurance, government, “fairness,” or practically anything else, we should examine the original intended purpose of an item or concept and determine if we are bending and deforming it to suit new objectives. If so, we run the risk of distorting both the original concept as well as dooming any hope of solving our problems. The Titanic could have carried more lifeboats, but only if the purpose of a lifeboat had been changed. Change is inevitable, but make sure that the tools used to deal with its challenges are appropriate and adequate.

If you’re sober, don’t bother getting fast food on a weekend night. The workers will treat you like complete garbage either way.

Have you ever been to the Union on a Sunday night? Yeah, I wouldn’t suggest it. They give away your food after you waited for 10 minutes. But then again the people working were incredibly goofy and made the wait worth it. So actually go there on Sunday nights. —IMPATIENT PATRON
This past weekend marked the centennial observance of the Titanic sinking. The popular view attributes the lifeboat shortage as the biggest single factor in the tragic loss of life. The Titanic carried 2,224 people on its voyage, yet the lifeboat capacity was only 1,178. Yet, the Titanic was in full compliance with, and even exceeded, the British Board of Trade regulations that were in effect. The regulations required 16 lifeboats for any ship that surpassed 10,000 metric tons. The Titanic tipped the scales at 46,328 tons, and carried four extra lifeboats. The problem lay in the perception of a lifeboat’s purpose. A century ago, the well-understood purpose of lifeboats was to carry passengers from a sinking ship to a nearby rescue ship. Under this scenario, a lifeboat could be used multiple times to ferry passengers between ships. Past events reinforced this paradigm. Two years earlier,
the S.S. Republic collided with the S.S. Florida off Nantucket, Mass., in thick fog. All but four of the Republic’s 461 passengers were transferred to the Florida in the Republic’s 11 lifeboats. Each boat made more than 20 trips between the two vessels. No one envisioned lifeboats being used for any purpose other than commuting between larger ships. The Titanic’s sinking forever changed the view of a lifeboat’s purpose. There’s always a danger when a tool or concept, intended for one purpose, is forced to perform another. When the only thing available is a hammer, everything else tends to become a nail. For example, “Earnings Per Share” is a technique used to evaluate corporate financial performance. But if investors use this metric as the exclusive measure of corporate performance, areas such as solvency, debt and cash flow are ignored. Examples of misapplication also exist in areas regarding the First Amendment. Some new employees, fresh out of college, may be shocked to discover their employer’s proscription of political buttons or posters on clothing or workplace cubi-
PAUL MCKENZIE
COLUMNIST
This past week’s political discussion was marred by two comments: one truthful and one a hateful, false fabrication. The truthful one was met with disdain, faux outrage and a media backlash. The other comment barely made a ripple in comparison. These two “stories” illustrate what is wrong in America today and shed light on one of the big lies in American politics: the liberal media. The big story was the statement by Democratic pundit Hilary Rosen that Ann Romney has never worked a day in her life. The Right Wing went crazy over this. How dare a Democrat accuse a housewife of never working a day in her life? After all, Ann Romney could have worked, but she chose not to. This was a manufactured controversy if there ever was one. The fact is, Ann Romney does not know what it is to work — she and her husband are worth $250 million. Her biggest choice was what country club to join.

This “controversy” was not really about Ann Romney though. This is about the GOP’s war on women. People are under the assumption that the GOP war on women is only about abortion. It is also about more subtle things like the “choice” of work for women. The Republicans like to pretend that all women get to choose whether or not to work, just like Ann Romney. As a product of the working class and a thinking person, I know the vast majority of women do not have the choice of work or no work: they have to work. By making working women feel guilty about working, the Republicans keep women subjugated. Make no mistake — the Republican Party still wants women barefoot, pregnant and mute. Look at its female candidates; they are Stepford Wives in power suits. They convey the message that a good wife is subservient to her husband. They can “choose” to work, however they cannot possibly be the breadwinner. What utter, malicious nonsense. No wonder the GOP has a “woman problem.” Far more dangerous and libelous was Congressman
Allen West’s comment that 80 House members are “communists.” While being a complete lie and patently ridiculous, this is dangerous talk. “Communist” is one of the swear words of American politics. Clue to the Republicans: not being so fascist that Mussolini would blush does not make one a communist. Unfortunately, being liberal is now a crime for many of the Right Wings in this country. The fact that Allen West can spout this slanderous rubbish is even more proof of this. This is similar to the War on Women. Just as being a woman is wrong for the Right Wing, so is being a Democrat. This brings me to the “liberal media.” There is no bigger lie in American politics. This lie has been peddled by the Right Wing for years. They work under the belief that if you lie long enough, people will believe it. This lie has worked; the vast majority of America believes the media is liberal. While the majority of reporters and columnists are more liberal, this is not news. Study after study has shown that the more education a person attains, the more liberal they become. The vast majority of the

media are educated people. Never publicized is that the vast majority of mainstream media is part of a humongous Right Wing oligarchy. All of the television news organizations are owned by massive conglomerates. Big business is historically conservative in its politics. AM radio, which is almost 100 percent Right Wing, is owned almost completely by two or three conglomerates that benefit from considerable GOP tax cuts for businesses. These companies are the real media and they are all conservative. That is why the Hilary Rosen “controversy” gets traction and the outrageous West story is barely reported. The Right Wing wants to distract us with these phony controversies. It goes back to the Roman philosophy of “bread and circuses.” Recognizing this is the first step in being an informed citizen. We have a choice in our nation: be smart or be manipulated. Do not let the GOP smokescreens work this election season.

said the new location is not just featuring restaurant favorites; it has 30 different varieties of beer on tap, more than any of the franchise’s other six locations. After hearing about the wider variety of brews offered by the new location, Kimmel said the awardwinning wings were not the only thing keeping him and his friends in line overnight. “We’ve got a plan to try all 30 beers that they have on tap,” Kimmel said. “I have them all written out on a piece of paper and we’re signing up by what ones we want so between the seven of us, we’re going to try them all.” Kimmel, his friends and the rest of the line will have a chance to try those beers earlier than normal. For the first day of business back in Bowling Green, Hays said all alcoholic beverages will be available when the restaurant opens at 8 a.m. “Being that it’s a college town, we figured we’d give it a shot,” Hays said. “For previous openings, we’ve even opened earlier than that.” For those not fortunate enough to be the 100 in line for a year’s supply of free wings, Hays said other prizes have been given away and will continue to be throughout the week. “We’ve been giving out swag like T-shirts, key chains … all of that stuff,” she said. Kailey Carter, University sophomore and new Buffalo Wild Wings server said she has never experienced working a major restaurant opening before, but is very excited about the number of prospective customers
And, like the 120 or so people lined up behind them, it was all for a seemingly endless supply of chicken wings. All it took to get those wings was a few friendly games of corn hole and spending a night or two in a restaurant parking lot. After an eight month hiatus, the new Bowling Green Buffalo Wild Wings reopened Monday in its new location. The restaurant opened at 8 a.m. and welcomed the first 100 people through the door with “Free wings for a year.” The new site, which seats approximately 400 people, is the only freestanding Buffalo Wild Wings franchise in Northwest Ohio; and, according to franchise owner John Hoschak, it also features the largest audio-visual package in the area with two 14 ft. television screens and 70 other displays. Also new to the franchise is a private party room that seats more than 40 people, complete with an audiovisual package of its own with nearly eight to 10 displays, Hoschak said. Kimmel said he and his friends made the decision to camp outside the popular restaurant because they all love Buffalo Wild Wings and the 14 signature sauces unique to the franchise. “They have sauces no other place has,” Kimmel said. “I’m a big fan of their Teriyaki. They do Teriyaki like no one else does.” Kendra Hays, marketing director for the franchise,
throughout opening day. “It’s going to be crazy. I mean, look at how many people we had waiting outside,” Carter said before the opening. “I’m excited to see how many people are going to be here. Plus, I want to see if we break the national record for most wings sold in a day.” Sunday evening, the franchise hosted a VIP Party at the new location, serving free food to a select group of area patrons. Hays said the franchise sent out VIP passes to 200 people with each pass allowing the selected guest to bring someone with them, filling the restaurant with 400 people. Aside from the free food the restaurant was cooking at the party, Hays said a portion of all other proceeds is going to go to a charity for Angelica Mormile, one of the two survivors of the March 2 crash on Interstate 75. The old location, originally housed on West Wooster Street, closed for relocation on Wednesday, August 31; and, according to a past article in The BG News, the restaurant franchise had been in that building since 1994 prior to the move. The expansion and relocation means much more than just changing from one building to another. Hays said being across the street from the Stroh Center will hopefully not only bring in students, but also more families to create an atmosphere that everyone can enjoy. “We want college students, families, everyone … we want it all,” she said. “Something for everyone.”

A Most Stalwart and Reliable Ally Is Israel indeed America's unsinkable aircraft carrier? In previous hasbarah (educating and clarifying) messages, we made clear what a tremendous asset for our country Israel is. We gave many examples of its contribution to American safety in that important area of the world. But there is much more.

BG football hosts annual spring game Orange team defeats white, 14-13 By Michele Wysocki Assistant Sports Editor
Offensive explosion

BRANDON HOWARD, BG infielder, tosses the ball to first base during the Falcons’ 9-6 victory against Kent State on Saturday afternoon.
Falcons, Flashes combine for 51 runs on Sunday; BG wins two of three games
By Nick Marlow and Nick Juskewycz The BG News
The BG baseball team took two of three games from Kent State this weekend, handing the Flashes their first two conference losses of the season.
GAME ONE In the bottom of the 14th inning, with the bases loaded Friday at Stellar Field, BG third baseman Drew Kuns braced himself as a fastball from Kent State pitcher Ryan Mace plunked him on the left wrist. Second baseman Brian Bien
came in to score and BG handed the Flashes their first loss in the MidAmerican Conference, 6-5, in the first of a three-game series. The Falcons prevailed in spite of a career day from Kent first baseman George Roberts. Roberts was 3-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs off BG starter Matt Malewitz. Alex Miklos, Kent’s left fielder, also homered. “It’s a big win for us,” said coach Danny Schmitz. “It was a very good college baseball game and I’m really proud of our guys for the way they battled back late in the game.” Malewitz went 5 2/3 innings and gave up four runs (all earned) on eight
hits, before Ben Singer, Nick Bruns and Patrick Martin surrendered just one run on four hits in 8 1/3 innings of relief. Martin was credited with the win. Starter David Starn pitched seven innings of near-flawless baseball for the Flashes, allowing just one run (unearned) while striking out nine, only to collect the no decision when Casey Wilson gave up three runs on three hits in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game at four. After Kent retook the lead in the top of the ninth on an RBI single from shortstop Jimmy Rider, Falcons pinch-hitter Patrick Lancaster sent it
to extras with a clutch two-out base hit in the home-half, which brought catcher TJ Losby around to score. “I was a little anxious, but when I got up (to the plate) the anxiousness went away,” Lancaster said. “It was a fastball right down the middle and I didn’t miss it.” Five innings later, Bien, who singled his way on, stood atop third base with only one out. Kent skipper Scott Stricklin, prescient of a squeeze, then opened Pandora’s Box by having Mace intentionally walk center
The BG football team took a new approach to this year’s “Orange and White” spring football game. Instead of a scoring system with points for sacks and catches, the Falcons went with regular game style scoring, and the orange team defeated the white team, 14-13. Head coach Dave Clawson said part of the spring game is to create a game-like atmosphere. “It helps a lot, I would say, with the young guys,” defensive tackle Chris Jones said. Contrary to years before, the team constructed a draft to decide what team the players would be placed on — orange or white. Quarterback Matt Schilz said the draft made the game more competitive. The white team took an early 3-0 with a field goal from freshman Tyler Tate near the end of the first quarter. The orange team answered shortly with a touchdown when Schilz found the hands of wide receiver Herve Coby to take a 7-6 halftime lead. Schilz was 19 of 36 for 185 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Clawson is pleased with the amount of talent at the wide receiver position, but he said they are too inconsistent to win. “I think the amount of athleticism we have at receiver and the depth is as good as we’ve ever been, but we don’t have the experience,” Clawson said. Alex Carter took the ball and ran 66 yards for a breakaway touchdown for the white team — white

Falcons fall to Ball State, 121-36, in final meet before All-Ohio Championships By Alex Krempasky Reporter
The BG track and field team split up and took to the road this weekend to compete in two meets. Most of the team went to the Ball State Duals in Muncie, Ind., and a select few went to the Jesse Owens Track Classic in Columbus. BG won two events in Muncie but came up short in the overall score; BG fell to Ball State 121 to 36. Junior Allison Weimer took first place in the 400-meter dash with a time of 57.10 seconds; winning by 1.44 seconds. The second BG victory came in the 4x400-meter relay race. Weimer was a part of the relay team along with sophomore Allorian Horne, junior Felicia Jefferson and freshman Natalie Sommerville. Their time of 3:58.89 was nearly 10 seconds ahead of the second place Ball State team, which had a time of 4:07.01. Jefferson also took multiple top 10 places in the Ball State Duals with second place finishes in the 100 and 200-meter dash, and sixth in the 400meter dash. Head coach Lou Snelling was critical of the results of the Ball State Duals. “This meet format really shows our lack of depth,” Snelling said. “Which is no surprise.”
WOMEN’S GOLF
BG student-athletes took a couple top 10 finishes in Columbus as well. Sophomore Brooke Pleger took second place in the hammer throw event with a distance of 58.99 meters. Senior Ashley Harris finished eleventh place in the shot put event with a throw of 13.56 meters. Junior Jeanette Pettigrew competed in the 100-meter dash and placed a respectable fifth place with a time of 11.88. Harris was the only student-athlete to officially represent BG at the Jesse Owens Track Classic because the other Falcons competed unattached due to being redshirted. Snelling is optimistic about the future of the BG track and field team, especially going into next year. “We do feel good about addressing depth issues through a large and diverse recruiting class that numbers nearly twenty girls at this point.” Snelling said. He also knows that he will have key athletes back next year as well. “It will also be nice to have our redshirts back next year.” Snelling said. “These types of results are the price we pay in the short term.” BG travels to Oxford, Ohio, this weekend to compete in the All-Ohio meet hosted by Miami University beginning April 20 and ending April SAISHA GAILLARD, BG sprinter, competes during the Tom Wright Classic at the Perry Field House earlier this season. 21.
Falcons finish fifth at Falcon Invitational The BG women’s golf team finished fifth at the Dolores Black Falcons Invitational, played in Bowling Green.

BG softball continues recent success with a 3-1 weekend record By Ethan Easterwood Reporter
by a fielding error allowed Arney to double up giving her an RBI and an early Eagles pitching change. Fink singled up the middle, which brought home two more runs. The Falcons managed to add two more runs in the game, one in the bottom of the fourth and each team added one more giving a final score of 6-1. The Falcons continued their momentum in game two as they again routed 7-1. Fulk added another home run with two RBI, freshman Chole Giordano recorded her first two RBI game and Fink added another RBI. This time the Eagles scored first, recording one run in the first inning. The Falcons responded in the second with three runs off of three hits. BG went on to score four more runs in the contest as
Explosive first innings were the highlights of the Falcon softball team’s play this weekend as they went 3-1. The Falcons hosted Eastern Michigan in a doubleheader on Friday, winning both games 6-1 and 7-1 respectively. Strong hitting from Shelby Fink who had two RBI while Andrea Arney (1-for-3) and Erika Stratton (2-for-3) both recorded doubles. Hannah Fulk recorded a home run also, her sixth of the season. BG game off rolling in the first inning, like they have all season, recording four runs off of just four hits. The first of these hits was Fulk’s homer which set the pace for the Falcons rout of Eastern Michigan. An added single followed
Eastern Michigan never really got involved, highlighted by Hulks seventh home run of the season. A hot start welcomed Central Michigan to town for two games one each on Saturday and Sunday. The first game the Falcons dropped the Chippewas 3-2, and the second matched the score but saw the Falcons lose 3-2. Katie Yoho led game one with a two-run homer and back and forth pitching between Jamie Kertes and Paris Imholz allowed the Falcons to prevail. BG started out with a run in the first inning of off two hits. Rachel Proehl singled up but was able to move to third off of a fielding error. The team tried a double steal to bring Proehl home, but the attempted was snuffed out. Central Michigan respond-
ed in the third with a solo home run to tie the game at 1-1, but Fulk matched with her own home run in the fourth bringing in two runs, rounding out the score to 3-1. The Chippewas threatened in the fifth inning by scoring one run and had bases loaded on no outs. Imholz came in the game and recorded all three outs to secure the 3-2 win for the Falcons. “That was a fantastic win for us,” said coach Shannon Salsburg. “The great thing is that it took the entire team.” The Falcons were unable to repeat and lost a close game Sunday 3-2 , splitting their weekend series with Eastern Michigan. The Falcons are now 25-16 with a 9-3 record in the MidAmerican Conference, and will host Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday.

BG falls to WMU on senior day By Nate Doolin Reporter
Friday had clear skies and marked a festive day in the recognition of lone senior Jessica Easdale on senior day, but the Falcons fell just shy of capturing the win from Western Michigan, 4-3. The Falcons’ double pairings continued with their extraordinary performance and captured the early doubles point in the match. BG has won six of its past seven double points and Friday’s efforts marked the sixth time this spring season the Falcons have swept their opponent for the doubles point. Emily Reuland defeated her opponent in two sets of work 6-3, 6-3. Reuland has been a
SPRING From Page 6 was up 13-7 with just minutes left on the clock. It wasn’t until late that orange made a game changing touchdown to take the lead, 14-13, to win the game. Running back Jamel Martin took the ball into the end zone from 19 yards out to put orange up by one with 3:51 left on the clock. Martin had 86 yards on 20 carries, including the touchdown.
standout for the Falcons this year with 45 combined wins, which moves her into a tie for 10th place on the BG singleseason list. Reuland was recently named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday afternoon. Reuland, a sophomore, earns the honor for the first time in her Falcon career. Additionally, Reuland has been named the MAC’s Female Scholar Athlete of the Week, also for the first time. Nikki Chiricosta followed with a 6-1, 6-1 victory against her foe, now trailing Reuland with 41 total wins this season along with her own MAC Player of the Week honors. Chiricosta currently holds 94
career wins at BG, ranking her 25th on the school list. Trouble found the Falcons in flights two, four, five and six. Maddy Eccleston and Katie Grubb were near a victory but were defeated by a 4-6, 4-6 score. Easdale also made things interesting by forcing a third set in flight six but fell 7-6 (7-5), 6-2. The Falcons currently hold an 8-8 record, and are 3-3 in conference play. The Falcons will end the regular season on the road, facing Eastern Michigan on Friday before meeting Toledo on Saturday afternoon. Both matches are at 1 p.m. BG will conclude the season in DeKalb, Ill., for the MAC Championships April 26-29.
“We have a long way to go until we play Florida on Sept. 1 but we’ve had a very productive spring,” Clawson said. A unique thing about the spring game is that it is practice 14 of 15 that the team is allowed to conduct. BG will meet one more time this spring to correct aspects of the spring game, Clawson said. “In practice, everyone brought it every day this spring,” Schilz said. The Falcons also announced that the team had chosen six captains this season. Among
this six, three offensive and three defensive players, are Jones and Schilz. Jones was almost a unanimous vote. Clawson said he had never seen as many votes as Jones received for captain. “It’s a real honor that your teammates respect you that much and they look up to you to lead this team,” Jones said. Jones has been a captain before, but this is Schilz’s first year. He said he is ready to take on the leadership role, and he is honored to be one of the six players chosen.
In a very rocky and adverse baseball game, the BG Falcons baseball team found a way to defeat the Kent State Golden Flashes 9-6 at a wet Stellar Field on Saturday. The heated contest featured eight combined errors, three lead changes in the last three innings and BG assistant coach Spencer Schmitz getting ejected in the second inning for his displeasure on the strike zone. “The big thing is that it was a win,” danny Schmitz said. “I can’t say it was the prettiest win that I have ever seen with both teams making some mistakes, but I am glad we came out on top.” To add to the craziness, home plate umpire Grant Henderson collapsed during the bottom of the third inning. After BG’s Drew Kuns drew a walk, Henderson took his mask off and bent over for a few moments looking at the ground. The medical staff brought out a BG golf cart and helped him walk over but Henderson fell to the ground before he could get in. He laid there for approximately 20 minutes before he got up on his own power and was taken in the ambulance. For the game to continue, first base umpire Dennis Varwig moved to home plate and third base umpire Brad Zarkle had to handle all the bases. The umpires seemed to have done a great job considering the situation, but controversy arose in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the score tied up at three a piece and two runners on with two outs,
Kuns gave a check swing on a full-count which drew a walk. With runners on base, umpire Zarkle had to be positioned behind the pitcher when the check-swing was applied. Neither Zarkle nor Varwig thought the bat crossed the plate but Kent State coach Scott Stricklin came out of the dugout and shouted with anger on his disagreement. Lancaster came up to bat next and drove in two runs on a single up the middle to give BG the 5-3 lead. Kent State came back in the top of the eighth with three runs of its own, capped off by a two-run homer by leadoff hitter Evan Campbell to give the Golden Flashes the lead back at 6-5. The Falcons responded right back with another three runs in dramatic fashion. With bases loaded and the dangerous Andrew Kubuski at the plate, he hit a dribbler halfway between the pitcher Michael Clark and catcher David Lyon. Clark fielded the ball, rushed his throw and fired it over Cody Koch at first base. All three Falcon base runners scored, which eventually gave BG the 9-6 win. “I think it was a very emotional game,” Schmitz said. “Kent State has a tremendous program and they have a lot of pride but we have a wonderful tradition too. So usually when we get together, you see some high intensity baseball and that’s exactly what you saw today with emotions running high. But that’s fun baseball and that’s the way it should be played and so I’m very, very proud of our guys.”
GAME THREE The BG baseball team nearly set the record books at a windy Stellar Field Sunday afternoon in a 31-20 loss to the Kent State Golden Flashes. The contest took four hours
and three minutes, including 51 combined runs, 45 combined hits and 10 combined errors. Yet, BG was still able to take two out of three in the series. “Well we took the series so that’s the positive note,” Schmitz said. “But I’m disappointed in the way we came out for day three today. Obviously our defense wasn’t ready to play, which was something we even talked about before today’s game with giving up four errors on Saturday.” Kent State came out on a mission by dialing up 10 runs on the Falcons in the top of the first where they had 15 plate appearances. From that point on, both teams seemed to score at will in just about every inning. In the end, there were only five scoreless half innings between the squads. Picking up his first win of the year for Kent State was Dan Kopcak despite only throwing two-thirds of an inning. Trevor Blaylock picked up his first loss of the year for BG who went on short rest because of the win he picked up at Michigan on Tuesday. “I feel bad for Trevor Blaylock because we asked him to take the ball today on short rest,” Schmitz said. “He was willing to do it after throwing 93 pitches at Michigan and then we didn’t come out and make some plays for him at first.” Kent State head coach Scott Strickland is in his eighth year with the Golden Flashes and still has never been swept in a MAC series. BG begins a long road stretch at Wright State Tuesday evening with the opening pitch at 6:30 p.m. BG may be short handed at pitching going into the game as it threw five different pitchers Sunday, including Tyler Wynn who traditionally plays infield for the Falcons.
