T . .Swim i The varsity baseball team ended the season with a record of ten wins and seven losses. The Patriots got off to a shaky start by losing four of their first six games. After winning their next seven games, Friendly had a chance for the ABC title. Losing three of the last four games dropped Friendly into second place in the league. The Patriots had five .300 hitters, led by Jim Overby with an average of .354. Mike Howell led the team's pitchers with five victories. The J.V. team ended with eight wins and six losses. The team's opponents were limited because many schools did not have J.V. squads. Coach Cavallini and Coach Seman have high hopes for the baseball program in the future. g Q FIRST ROW: Louis Reynolds, Mike Howell, Steve Shea nmvwwwg' Mike Briggs strokes a hit enroute to a Friendly victory.
