Varsity Baseball The Varsity baseball team, coached by Jim Va- lentino, is showing a lot of progress so far in this season. So far, as we went into press, the team had won three games and had shown much potential. This year there are seven pitchers, more than they have had any other year. Seven out of the eight returning lettermen are this year's starters. There are also many young players included on the team that will still have next year to play - Mike Rivera, Javier Melendez, and Peter Gon- zales. Benny Duarte, Richard Espinoza Cboth were All-League players from last yearj, Mike Brown, Tommy Torres, John Rivas, and David Audelo are key players this year. The team has excellent hitting skills, good attitudes, and are very hard workers. Coach Valentino Cwho is assisted by Mike Rodri- guezh says that the team will for sure have a successful season if they keep on playing the way that they have been playing. As we go into press time, there are still fourteen more games that they have to play. Coach Valentino and the whole team feels that the chances are better that good that they will win most of the games. Salvador Lemus intently focuses his attention on the game and his teammates. 234fVarsity Baseball Carlos Perez gives it his all to hurry to base Tommy Torres in action!!!
