Finishing the season without a loss in thirteen games, the Knights traveled to the Pontiac Press and Recreation Tournament in absence of state competition. There the team quickly added three more victories to win the tourney and give Coach Paul Teme- rian a perfect 16-0 season. The great spirit and confidence of the team drove them onward with the firm belief that they could not be beaten. Hanging on the verge of defeat against Dondero, Gene Muenchausen slammed a bases loaded triple to tie the game at seven all and scored the winning run. The pitchers, Kim Hilstrom and Red Wilson, pro- vided strong performances when needed. Team efforts were the basis of most of the victories as no one hitter or pitcher stood out from the rest. It was a great season though witnessed by few Knights. Kimbal1's Opponent s Score Opponent Score 14 Southfield 3 5 Roseville 4 7 Mt, Clemens 2 9 E.

Three lettermen return from undefeated nine. Returning from last year's baseball squad are Seniors Kim Hilstrom, Dan Sherban, and Bob Nowakowski. These three will form the core around which Coach Temerian will build this year's team. Kim Hilstrom pitched strongly last year with eight victories, most coming in the last half of the season. Steve Wilson won seven, and Ted James won the Dondero game. Dan Sherban led the team in runs batted in last year with 26. He had five home runs and a .420 batting average. In the 11-3 rout of Hazel Park, Dan went four for four hitting two triples and two home runs, one a grand slam while batting in seven runs. Bob Nowakowski returns from the start- ing lineup to play his infield position. Hard work will be needed for another excel- lent season for Coach Temerian's squad.
