Eugene falls short of sweep,
loses fifth game to Hawks
The seventh inning was stretched
for the Ems as they had two errors
and allowed Boise to score six runs
By Jesse Thomas
Sports Editor
The seventh inning of Tuesday
night's 10-5 loss to Boise will be an in
ning the Eugene Emeralds (32-29)
won't soon forget.
Through six innings, Eugene had
accumulated a 5-4 lead and all ap
peared well for the team looking for
its fifth straight win to sweep the se
ries against the Hawks.
But in an inning with two Eugene
errors, five walks and six Boise runs,
the Ems saw their lead crumble be
fore their eyes.
"Its frustrating, we've been playing
well the whole way through and we
had that one fall-out inning where
nothing was going our way," center
fielder Brian Wahlbrink said. "One
thing after another, then pressure was
building up, one error led to another
and things piled up there."
First baseman Pat McIntyre led off
the inning for Boise with a walk. Cen
ter fielder Chris Walker followed with
a bunt that left him safe at first only
because pitcher Ronnie Robinson (2
6) couldn't run him down.
Shortstop Sammy Rosario followed
with another bunt that earned him a
seat on second base after the Emerald
defense had an error at first in missing
the catch. McIntyre scored on the play.
Eugene then earned its first out but
proceeded to walk designated hitter An
drew Larsen to load the bases. Boise
then earned its second run off a wild
pitch that brought Walker home.
Boise's sixth batter, catcher Alan
Rick, earned a single that scored
Rosario after the Ems missed the tag
at home. Right fielder Kyle Boyer was
walked to load the bases, followed by
left fielder David Gresky who was hit
by a pitch, bringing home Larsen for
the fourth run.
The scoring bonanza ended after
another wild pitch brought in Rick
and Boyer to give the Hawks a 10-5
lead that would end all scoring.
"Poor inning, very poorly played
and those are the types of innings you
have to learn from," Manager Roy
Howell said. "We panicked, we threw
the ball away and it's like hitting when
everyone's racking, everyone's racking.
When you start making mistakes like
that it's contagious."
Boise finished the seventh inning
with six runs after never hitting the

Center fielder Brian Wahlbrink earned a triple in the fourth inning to score two runs and tie
the game at 4-4. Yet, Wahlbrink breathes a sigh after the seventh-inning fallout.
ball out of the infield. The Hawks
earned four hits on the night and had
two errors.
Prior to the seventh inning drop-out,
Eugene was off to a good start. Eugene
took an early 1-0 lead in the second off
an RBI by second baseman Peeter
Ramos, before Boise jumped out to a 3
1 lead off a three-run homer by second
baseman Uriak Marquez.
Boise scored again in the top of the
fourth before Eugene tied the game in
the bottom of the inning off a triple
by Wahl brink that brought home des
ignated hitter Tom Fabrizio and right
fielder Casey Baker.
The Ems earned eight hits in the
loss that ran through the pitching
lineup with a total of five taking the
mound. Right hander Matt I lines (1
2) got the win for Boise as one of six
pitchers on the night.
Eugene will now look to re-group
in its day off today before starting a
three-game series against Salem/Keiz
er. The Ems face only the Volcanoes
and the Vancouver Canadians the rest
of the season.
The Ems currently sit in second place
of the Northwest League West Division
after Tuesday night's loss; Salem/Keizer
defeated Tri-City. Eugene's regular sea
son schedule extends through Sept. 4
before the playoffs begin, and the Ems
will have to get some wins to make the
postseason.

longer," Holliday said.
Having to work out by herself at
Hayward field and having to push
back training due to injury have all
taxed her physically. But when it comes
down to it 1 Iolliday faces a battle that's
more mental than physical.
"It's better to go into a meet some
times to have your mind just fresh
from track rather than be mentally
drained," she said. "To be a little bit
rusty and still be mentally fresh (is
better) than to go in top shape and be
mentally drained.
"It is (a mental battle) but it's a
good experience because 1 never
know where my season is going to go
and I'm going to leam from it."
And if the mental aspect wasn't
enough to deal with, the pressure of
the world's largest track meet has
been mounting as well. Holliday said
the USA Track and Field News pre
dieted she'd finish 10th at the Wodd
Championships. Schwartz and Sauer
were placed nowhere higher than her.
1 low does that make her feel?
"A little bit of pressure — a little
bit," Holliday said, with an air of un
derstatement.
Yet in prepping for her first world
competition, Holliday is trying to
stay grounded and be reasonable.
It's only her second time competing
abroad after traveling to Beijing,
China, in 2001 for the World Uni
versity Games.
"My goal is to make it out of pre
lims," Holliday said. "1 think if I do
that, then 1 can handle a little bit of
the pressure going into a world class
meet like that."
Holliday arrives in Paris on Thurs
day morning where she will have two
days to adjust to the time difference
and the culture. She will compete Sat
urday in the qualification round of
the women's pole vault at 4:40 p.m.,
Paris time.
And after it's all over?
Holliday plans to take a mini
mum of three months off before be
ginning next season's surge. The 23
year-old plans to train and be ready
for the season beginning in June
2004 when she will be on the same
competition schedule as Sauer,
Dragila and Schwartz. She also
plans to compete at the 2004
Olympic Trials in July.
But before the big time, Holliday
is focused on setting her mind
straight after a long physical season,
and to do her best at the World
Championships.
"I'm trying to go in with a good
frame of mind — 'No pressure, don't
be nervous, it doesn't matter how 1
do' — but after I'm done, if I do poor
ly I'm going to be so mad at myself,"
Holliday said. "So I'm trying to still
keep it going."
