University of Tennessee at Chattanooga golfer Wes Gosselin shot his second 73 in a row Tuesday in the second round of the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional at Ol' Colony Golf Complex and is tied for 20th. "I hit the ball well, lots of really good shots," Gosselin said in a UTC release. "It gave me a lot of good looks with the putter. I just couldn't get them to fall." Kentucky's Tyler McDaniel shot a 67 to join Georgia's Greyson Sigg and Zach Healy atop the leaderboard at 5-under-par at 139.

* The Dalton State women's golfers got in nine to 12 soggy holes Tuesday at Savannah Quarters Country Club in Pooler, Ga., before play in the NAIA national tournament was suspended for the day. Teams played in the rain and some nearly finished their rounds, but some never got started as lightning delays disrupted the competition. More rain is in the forecast. Dalton State finished in a tie for second last year.

Baseball

' The nationally fifth-ranked Tennessee Wesleyan baseball team opened play Tuesday evening in the NAIA opening round series at Kingsport, Tenn., with a 15-4 rout of Rio Grande from Ohio, which earlier edged Indiana Tech 5-4. Wardy Polanco was 4-for-5 and Cody Stroud was 3-for-6 with two RBIs and two runs each for TWC (46-12), while Paolo Montezuma was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs. Sully Rios Reyes was 2-for-3 with two walks, two RBIs and two runs, and Omar Gomez had two hits and scored three times. St. Thomas nipped Middle Georgia State 2-1.

Tennis

* The scheduled first day of the NAIA national tennis tournament in Mobile, Ala., was washed out because of severe storms in the area Tuesday. Dalton State's men have a first-round bye and are scheduled to play at 5 p.m. today, but the forecast is not very promising.
