Baseball Baseball. Regardless of the regular season Tough break. An empty feeling in the pit of your stomach. The 1986 Panther baseball season had its high moments and its low ones. Unfortunately the lowest one was also the last one of the season. Westran! It seems that no matter what the sport is, the final always comes down to Salisbury and Westran. During the regular season the Panthers beat the Hornets two times. In fact, half of Westran’s losses came at the hands of the Purple and Gold from down the road. Strong pitching was the key to the victories when other- wise the two teams were pretty evenly matched. Senior Rick Armentrout takes a lead from third base and eventually scores a run in the Moberly game which was a Panther victory. Junior Aaron Gray looks intent while waiting for action to come down the third base line during the Hallsville game. wins, it always comes down to one game at the end of the year to determine who will advance to state play and who will hang up their cleats. The Hornets made the most of an early case of nerves by the Panthers and took an early lead. Things went from bad to worse and by the time the relief pitcher came in the game for Salisbury, the Hor- nets had a good lead. The Panthers never managed a rally and the game and hopes of a third Westran defeat, a District Championship and en- trance to the state tournament, fell into the empty pit in the bottom of the Salisbury players while the scoreboard read 5-0 Hornets. Sophomore Steve Johnson hurls another strike enroute to another victory, this time against Linn County. 28 Varsity Baseball Sports
