Chris Sandoval, Ken Patton, Lance Lopez, Mike Fears, Carlos Hurtado, Jimmy Ra- mos, and Mike Sanchez returned. Since most of them had played together last season, they played together well and had a good season. The Freshman team learned to work together as a team. With eagerness to do their best they accomplished a great deal. Most of the players will move up to J.V. next year or even Varsity. They are the ones who will carry on the Wil- son baseball tradition. fita». - Standing: R Comacho. P. Holltngsworth. R. Snyder, R. Mann. A. Hausen, M. Waldman. B. Young. Kneeling: B. Davidson, S.

I -? 4 1Q8Q THIS COULD BE THE YEAR : has been 19 years since the Wil- son Wildcat Varsity Baseball team las reached the C.I.F. play-offs, i the blend of talented players and silent coaches this should be the ' the Cats finally make it. Head ch Greg Gano led the Wildcats for hird season. He was again assisted perennial Coach Walt Martin, nding out the staff were two trans- from now non-existent Edgewood i, Dave Bletcher and Jeff Jones. le team had ten returning lettermen i last year ' s 3rd place team. This ip is highlighted by Juniors Brian McKavic, Mark Rushlow, Chris Milton and Ryan Merrill. Seniors Armando Delsi and Sophomore Scott Dunham will also make contributions. The Wil- son Baseball Program received its Christmas gift early when three former Edgewood players, Todd Alcorn and Danny and Erick Nila transferred to Wil- son. Pitching was the Wildcats strong spot this season. Alcorn and Dunham were featured, while Delsi. McKavic and Mil- ton found time on the mound. In the hitting department. Wilson was again be led by Rushlow and McKavic, the two top hitters from last years team. Adding support was Alcorn. Delsi. both Danny and Erick Nila. Senior. Matt Cle- mentz, and Juniors. Mike Phillips and Eric Olson. While Wilson was stocked with so much talent, it was not easy for them to win league. With the additions of West Covina and Baldwin Park, the Sierra League becomes one. if not the. tough- est league in California. Wilson entered league 4-5, which is deceiving because the Wildcats played some of the tough- est teams in the Valley. by Eric Olson ty. Baseball 73
