Varsity Won Four In Initial Season Coach Norm West ' s all-star cast of returning lettermen and J.V. newcomers were expecting league champ- ionship. The 1970 baseball action started with practice season with the team dropping four games and winning four games. During Easter Vacation the Bulldogs took third in the Elsinore Tournament. Much of the team ' s strength lied in its powerful and polished pitching staff, which consisted of veterans Ray Wilson and Dale Wales, back up by newcomers Randy Swenson, Jack Smith, and Craig Rowley. This year ' s starting infield consisted of Dale Wales at first base, Dennis Smith at second base, Dave Winkleman at third base, and Jack Smith and Ray Wilson sharing responsibilities at shortstop. Catcher Chuck Merril provided excellent defense at home plate. Outfield positions were held by Roger Garwood in left field, Marty Willerford in center field, and Dennis Taylor in right field. In the regular season the team looked to tough opposition in the struggle for the D.V.L. crown. The regular league games opened April 3rd for the Bulldogs against Indio.
