Carl Poirot, executive director of the San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program, said his group already has transport migrants.

making all those errors I knew it was only a case of his being nervous. I knew he'd settle down once he got used to his new environment. And he has." The two are Reno roommates. Barry (2-0, 2.25) started, but lasted only 31/a innings against USO Saturday. He was cuffed around for five hits and three earned runs. · Even his usually reliable control was missing, as he issued four walks. He struck out one. "I had nothing on the ball the whole game," the pitcher adraitted. "My fastball lacked any kind of zip and my curveball was flat." Angotti, one of only four outfielders on the Reno roster, picked up where he left off at Grossmont High last spring. He hit .429 with seven home runs and 36 RBI for the Foothillers. He rode an eight- game hitting streak into the USO series, but couldn't solve the Toreros' pitching. In fact, he had only a double in the two games. Nevertheless, his season average remains at a respectable .350. "I'm happy with the way I'm playing," said the Wolfpack !~ft . fielder. "I've got an All-American (Rob Richie) playing next to me in center field and a guy named (Milton) Bradford who is sure to get drafted playing in right. They can both really hit the ball." Richie had a pair of triples in Saturday's first game. "The reason I'm in left is because I've been hitting," Angotti said. "That's the basic philosophy up here. If you hit, you play." When Angotti was recruited by Powers last spring it was as a backup outfielder and reserve catcher. " In our fall season (20 games), I started out as a catcher," Angotti said. "I caught a couple of games and showed coach Powers that it wasn't my best position. But I was hitting pretty good, so coach moved me to 'the outfield." Angotti is another of Reno's freshman starters. . "I've been the starting left fielder for the last IO games," he said. Injuries to two of his teammates led Valhalla's Sharp into the starting lineup. "I've started at first base the last five games," said the left- handed Sharp, who had three hits, including his initial collegiate home run in this USD series. He's had 12 official at-bats since being removed from the redshirt list two weeks ago. Sharp's value is two-fold, as he's also a southpaw pitcher. He made his one and only college pitching performance last week against the University of Pacific. Sharp said he enjoyed playing in his hometown again, but added how much he enjoyed his life in Reno. "I love the snow and being away from htlme."

By BIii Dickens of The Daily Californian ,;2f/ When the University of Nevada-Reno baseball players were packing for their weekend trip to San Diego last week, the majority of them were thinking about getting away from the snow at home and into the sunshine down south. They went one for two with the weather forecaster, But they couldn't weather the storm of the University of San Diego Iarnm5, who rallied for a 12-8 victory in fhe sanslri.tI!!'Friday and then doused the Wolfpack threat for a come-from-behind 7-6 win under leadened skies early Saturday afternoon. Both teams Jost out to the rain in Saturday's second game, which was postponed with Reno leading 3-1 in the second inning. At least four of the Nevada-Reno players were happy to see the rains come. That's because Dale Henson, Don Angotti, Jeff Barry and Rob Sharp are offseason residents of East San Diego County. They thought the inclement weather would buy them more time to visit. Originally, Reno's plans were to stay overnight in San Diego Saturday so the postponed West Coast Athletic Conference game could be made up on Sunday. But as the rains continued and the USD playing surface started looking more like a swamp than a baseball diamond, Reno coach Gary Powers decided to fly his team to Las Vegas where the Wolfpack is scheduled to play games against UNLV and Nebraska today. News of the early departure drew a collective grown from the East County contigent, most of whom were huddled inside the first- base dugout at USD's rain-shrouded field late Saturday afternoon. "This is our only chance to play in front of our family and friends," said Henson, Reno's freshman third baseman, with a moan. "We wanted to win this last one. We wanted to play the kind of game we know were capable of playing. We didn't play too well · in the first two." Henson turned in a pair of fielding gems, but was a disappointing l for 7 at the plate. "I was the leading hitter on our team until this series," said Henson, who boasted a fine .386 batting mark before Friday's game. He was hitless in the series opener, but doubled and scored a run in Saturday's first game. "I was struggling big time early in the year," Henson admitted. "I made seven errors in my first I I fielding attempts. Coach (Powers) sat me down for four games after that. Then I started a game at USF (University of San Francisco) and went 2 for 3, but still made .-

Donnie Angotti Dale Henson an error on defense. So coach·used me as a DH for the next two games." Powers' patience paid off. "I've been the starter at third base over the last 12 games," Henson reported. "And I've only made two errors. Things have gone pretty well for me lately. I wish I could have hit a little better in this series, but I can't dwell on that now." It was through the persistence of his teammate and former Santana High classmate Jeff Barry that Henson is on scholarship at Nevada-Reno today. Barry was a victim of numerous unearned runs in his freshman season with the Wolfpack last year. He regarded Henson to be one of the finest defensive third basemen he's ever been associated with. "I knew Dale could do the job," said Barry, who has been hampered by early season arm problems this year. "When he was
