Baseball ls a ecessitv oF Life! By the beginning of the fifth six weeks all anyone heard around the athletics offices was baseball talk and more baseball talk. joe Daggs who played shortstop said, 'Playing baseball is a part of life, it's as important as eating or sleeping! Most players on the team had this enthusiasm, and this ac- counted for their outstanding season. Almost all of the players were returning varsity members, and they still talked about the glory they felt after the two defeats of Killeen in 1982 and when they sent a player to ollllao lf 4.33 HELPING Coaches Cunningham and Blom- quist take care of the Varsity team are Captains Randy Sullivan, Robert King, and lerry Bark. 248 Varsity Baseball C py dl y tby Vicky Henni g the All-Stars last summer.

Baseball Takes Away Boredom Baseball season picked up right as the middle of the school year boredom set in. The sport added ex- citement and participation to the spring. The season opened with a big vic- tory over Killeen on February 15th. Though only a scrimmage game, the team won 17 to 7. High expecta- tions for district play offs had all the players giving 10071 in practices and games. Another reason for a terrific season was the many years' ex- perience between the players. The average playing time was eight years. Many like Robert King, Randy Sullivan, joe Daggs, Richie Kryzwon- ski, and Donnie Vale had ten and eleven years experience. Most of the players had the same goal in mind. They wanted to achieve a position on a college team after high school and then to think about professional ball. Some of the members looked up to role models in professional baseball. Levy Green said, ul like Pete Rose because of his 2 enthusiasm and determination. 5 Donnie Vale favored Rod Carewg because he hits base hits and? doesn't try for home runs. Coach? Blomquist hoped that his entire? team would remember Rod Carew's advice, Blomquist was often seen during the season in the dugout shouting, Get a base hit, home runs come later! JUST in from playing the field and waiting to bat are Tim Iones, David Carrillo, Rudy Arellano, Anthony Conde, Randy Sullivan, and loey Marquez. DAVID CARRILLO takes a mighty swing at the ball during an early scrimmage game against Killeen. 250 Varsity Baseball C py dl y tby Vicky Henning
