O Bothell ..... ....3 Ml... 4 Bellevue... ....3 Ml... 2 Foster... ....5 Head Coach Bill Waddington ,-is Facing one of the toughest seasons ever, the Varsity nine slugged their way to a fourth place finish in '64, Although always determined, the team fell to league champion Lake Washington both times by one run, but capably controlled the rest of the league except for tough Sammamish and Both- ell. Filling in the vacancies left by graduating seniors Nebel, Maloof, Adkins and Douglas were returning Iettermen Kelleran, Anderson, Hoover, Harris, and up-coming members of the JV. Out to improve on last year's respectable 7-9 record, the squad faced tough competition in the Southern Division of the KingCo League-something new this year. Mercer played Bellevue, Sammamish, Newport, and Federal Way twice, and teams of the other division once. Winners of both divisions met in a play-off series to determine the league champion. Lack of experience -looms as our biggest problem for '65, stated Coach Waddington. It's almost a whole new ball team, but if the sophomores and pitching staff come along as expected, we'll be tough to beat. 58 Larry Wade Catcher baseball enioyed Mike Drotning Short Stop
