Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Baseball	SIUE Baseball SIUE Athletics

February 28, 2005 Cougar Baseball Waiting to Put It All Together         Southern Illinois University Edwardsville heads south for its annual spring break trip to Bradenton, Fla., looking for its first win.         The Cougars lost a pair of one-run games and 6-0 to No. 3-ranked Central Missouri State. SIUE fell to Winona State 12-11 in 11 innings and 3-2 to Nebraska-Omaha.         "We fell behind about four different times (against Winona State), and we kept coming back. We gave ourselves a chance to win it, but we couldn’t quite finish the deal." said Coach Gary Collins.         Collins said Adam Tallman (Gillespie) and Jarad Rettberg (Divernon) have both pitched well. "But no one has pitched well enough to to get us a win," added Collins.         SIUE is batting .199 after its first five games. "We're going to have to pick up the pace. Those teams we are playing in Florida are good teams," Collins said.         SIUE has six games scheduled in Florida from March 6-12. The Cougars have three games against Assumption, one against Nebraska-Omaha, one against Concordia, and one against Ashland.                 -siue cougars-
