In golf, volleyball, tennis, basketball, softball, and most of the other items on the sporting menu in the athletic cafeterias of Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State this has been a 49er year, if not a 49er era. Baseball, well that is what’s up this weekend when old rivals heading in different directions settle it all between the white chalk of Blair Field.

There is one line in the press release on Long Beach State baseball that speaks volumes. "The Dirtbags return to Blair Field for the rest of the season." If you dream of road dusting the in the post season, like tennis did, and golf and softball are about to do, you first have to defend the house.

The Ukleja room was the NCAA pairings show party spot for 49er softball Sunday evening with subs and snacks and sodas all over the table, nervous parents in the background and a head coach who was calm, cool and calculating. With the first 32 teams placed all around the land the next foursome was the one the Beach Sweethearts of Swat (28-23) were waiting for and their NCAA journey this year will take them back this weekend to Tempe. Their first round contest is with 40-14 Syracuse of the Big East.

For an odd Monday game the Dirtbags punched around a bit with LMU before the visiting Lions, a game and a half back of first in the West Coast Conference, jumped on Long Beach State, a game back of first in the Big West Conference for three runs in the sixth. It was chilly and foggy and a lot of folks left.

Sure, you think it is likely that after a long weekend of sporting activity, I would resort to that always cheap journalistic trick of tossing all the bits and pieces together and calling it "Notes on My Napkin." Shame on you. The Poet Laureate of LB, Trader Joe, composed a sonnet to the napkin and we share his salute.

In the winter when LMU (now 21-18) had a weekend out of West Coast Conference play available, they dialed up Long Beach State (21-21) for some nearby baseball for teams that frankly must win their conference to earn post season. These out of conference deals really aren’t that important because they offer no RPI boost and little of importance to alumni, boosters, big media, etc. This is really the last three of four, (LMU defeated Long Beach State on April 17, with a walk-off with a 5-4 ninth inning victory) and comes up just before their BWC stretch drive battles with UC Davis, CSUN and Fullerton. “I thought when they called that taking the Friday off wouldn’t be such a big deal," Beach skipper Troy Buckley said, “but if we are careful how we use our pitchers I think we will be okay.”
