Published Feb 26, 2008

Baseball team loses to Titans

Published Feb 22, 2008

Despite 11 hits and no errors, the Horned Frogs baseball team was not able to overcome an early five-run deficit, falling to the Cal State Fullerton Titans 11-5 Friday night at Lupton Stadium.


Ten of the 11 Titan runs scored with two outs, which head coach Jim Schlossnagle called "the difference in the game."


Schlossnagle said stronger pitching is the key to avoiding two-out outbursts.


"We just have to make better pitches," Schlossnagle said. "We didn't pitch very well with two outs, and they did a good job of hitting with two outs."

Advertising aims to make impression

Published Feb 22, 2008

Sometimes I like to think I'm too smart for the forces of the advertising industry. I flip through the pages of a magazine and think I'm above the tricks various companies use to sell their wares.
