ase bal the diamonders experienced a tough base- ball season, winning just three of their seven- teen tilts, these wins were against elgin, la salle, and joliet. the sguad had four returnees from the previous season ' s squad: vern funk, jim hosfield, vie spatafora, and sherry wright. freshman pitchers, John hallsten and paul John- son, joined forces with hosfield and wright to form a fairly strong pitching department. John was the most dependable pitcher, utilizing a low 3.23 era for a 1-3 record. John was also a mainstay in the important rbi department, he and freshman jim John- son were the clutch hitters, both getting credit for 9 rbi ' s. the team hitting as a whole was poor; it hit at about a .200 pace. the two best-played games of the year were the 3-1 win over la salle and a 3-2 edging at the hands of wheaton b . hosfield got credit for the la salle win, pitching a five-hitter while striking out six. jim Johnson drove in two runs with a double to spark the attack, a week earlier John hallsten had pitched a two-hitter against the wheaton b squad at river park, only to come out on the short end of a 3-2 score. tag it v v w ■ ..
