Husker I-back enjoys
Lincoln, university life
BALDWIN from Page 7
Husker freshman coach Shane
Thorell said he doesn't know if Bald
win will get a shot at varsity. If he
does, it will depend on whether Bald
win seizes the opportunity or not,
Thorell said.
“I’m sure he’ll compete really
well, and that will open up the possi
bility of him playing (varsity),”
Thorell said.
Baldwin said that just being a part
of Nebraska’s program is enough.
“Right now, I see myself as a
freshman making the best way I
know how, and putting forth a 100
percent effort to it,” Baldwin said.
That attitude, Grasso said, is typi
cal of Baldwin.
“He’s a coach’s dream — he
works at it until perfection,” Grasso
said.
Baldwin said that is what the
coaches at Nebraska expect, and that
he doesn ’t mind their high standards.
“I enjoy people pushing me and
encouraging me 100 percent," he
said. “(The coaches) want everything
perfect, and there’s nothing wrong
with that.”
“He’s a hard worker— the type of
guy who likes pressure (Mi himself,’
Thorell said.
Being perfect is what Baldwin
said his goal as a Husker is all about.
“That’s to be one of the best run
ning backs that came out of the Uni
versity of Nebraska,” he said. “I
mean that’s easy to say, but I’m
working forward to that.’’ Thorell
said Baldwin is off to a good start in
trying to achieve his goal.
“He’s a good running back and is
going to make a name for himself
here, said Thorell. “I think his pro
gression is really good so far.”
Baldwin said his progression has
involved making the difficult transi
tion from high school to college
football.
“This is a new experience for me,”
he said. “I’m looking forward to
doing just as good in college as I did
in high school, but I don’t look back.”
But Baldwin hasn’t totally forgot
ten about his high school days.
Grasso said Baldwin has kept in
touch with him via the telephone.
“I talk to him twice a month,” said
Grasso. “He likes (college) and is
adjusting real well, but it’ll take time
for him to learn the system.”
Gibson, Belcher lead LA.
NEW YORK (AP) - Rookie Tim
Belcher won his second game of the
playoffs and Kirk Gibson hit his
second straight game-winning
homer as Los Angeles beat the New
York Mets 7-4 in Game 5 on Monday
to move within one game of their first
National League pennant since 1981.
The teams now fly to Los Angeles,
where the Dodgers can wrap up the
best-of-seven series Tuesday when
former Met Tim Leary opposes
David Cone, the losing pitcher in
Game 2.
During the regular season, the
Mets won 10 of 11 games from the
Dodgers and won 56 games at home,
including their last 11 at Shea Sta
dium. But the Dodgers came into
New York to win two of three and
take a 3-2 lead.
rhe Dodgers won Game 4 in 12
innings on Gibson’s homer shortly
before 1 a.m. EDT. A little less than
12 hours later, the two teams were
back on the field for the fifth game
with the series tied at two games
apiece.
The Mets and Dwight Gooden
were three outs away from taking a 3
1 lead in the series when Mike Scios
cia tied the score with a two-run
homer.
Gibson, who ended a 1-for-16
slump with his game-winning homer
in Game 4, hit a three-run shot in the
fifth inning for his second homer in a
little ever 12 hours.
With two outs in the ninth, Gibson
beat out an infield hit, then appeared
to reinjure his left hamstring stealing
second and left the game. Jose
Gonzalez ran for Gibson and scored
the Dodgers' seventh run when Mike
Marshall tripled to right-center.
In all five games the Dodgers
have scored first, this time breaking
through for three runs off loser Sid
Fernandez in the fourth inning on 39
year-old Rick Dempsey's two-run
double and an RBI double by Alfredo
Griffin.
Tragedy would kill Wave
THOMAS from Page 7
“Pssst. Hey kid. C’mon.
Everybody’s doing the Wave. It’s
cool. It’s hip.”
And it’s difficult to stop once it
gets rolling. The Wave only returns
to sea when some fans — in a fit of
independent thinking — decide to
watch the game instead.
Morbid as it sounds, a good ol’
fashioned tragedy would squelch the
Wave.
' Maybe the Wav* could wash up
heaps of medical waste in the South
stadium. Or maybe it could drown 30
landlubbers in the West stands.
But belter yet, the Wave could die
peacefully. And it could die this
Saturday. If Oklahoma State can’t
gel the fans’ attention, no team can.
And maybe—just maybe — this
week’s game will mark die glorious
day when the fans came to that long
overdue realization.
The Wave is ail washed up.
