Usually, that's an accomplishment against the usually untouchable untouchable Former classification of various low-status persons and those outside the Hindu caste system in Indian society. The term Dalit is now used for such people (in preference to Mohandas K. Weaver.

High product, struck out six and walked two as Long Beach State pounded Cal State Northridge 15-4 Thursday in front of a crowd of 309. It wasn't exactly the way CSUN CSUN California State University Northridge (13-19) wanted to start Big West play. But Weaver (10-0) hasn't lost all season.

After walking just nine batters before Thursday, Weaver walked the second batter of the game, Alberto Quintana, and then walked him again in the seventh. He had five strikeouts, a rather pedestrian performance for the All- American, who had a school-record 16 strikeouts against Wichita State. ``I definitely wasn't 100 percent,'' Weaver said. ``I was a little stiff.

After mishandling a fly ball early, Velazco robbed Michael Paulk of what probably would've been a home run as he caught the ball at the top of the wall in right field in the third inning. Everyone thought it was out - and most days at CSUN it would've been - and Velazco then doubled up John Voita at first. Velazco also made a diving A DIV Associate of Divinity catch in right in the fourth. ``I thought our guys did a really good job,'' CSUN coach Steve Rousey said. ``I told them Weaver is the best pitcher our hitters will ever face in their college careers.
