Injuries Riddle oftball Team s Inexperience and injury took its toll on the 1984- Comette soft- ball team as they finished their season with an 8-13 record. Despite the losing record, there were several highlights throughout the season. The team placed third is both the Norman and Conference tour- naments. ,luniors first baseman Sheila 0'Brien, third baseman Sarah Rhoads, and senior second baseman Jill Rottschaefer were selected to the first ever All-Conference team for their outstanding play in the tournament. Rottschaefer was eventually named to the All- District team and chosen to play in the All-State game, also a first time event. Behind strong hitting and the pitching of senior Melissa Bond, the girls got off to a 4-1 start. However, injuries hit the Comettes and they ended the season with four players out of position. Senior catcher Gina Dean broke her finger, knocking her out for several weeks, while senior shortstop Mary Raczkowski played only two games before becoming ill and missing the rest of the season. Other starters were juniors Erin Stoever, who moved from first base to shortstop in Raczkowskfs absence, Lori Warning, who played both outfield and catcher, and the only sophomore starter, centerfielder Melissa Hughes. Juniors Dianne Haight, Catherine Craig, Michelle LaFortune, and freshmen Kati Tomasi, Laura Scattergood and Rosemary Stallbaumer provided utility play. At right, Melissa Bond doubles as pitcher and slugger.
