The Varsity Baseball Team finished its season with an outstanding record of 24-7- 1. Coach Fabrizio is satisfied and content with that record. However, he feels that the team could have won a few of the lost games, but believes in accepting the losses with the wins. Coach Fabrizio feels that the low point of the season was a hard loss of 2-1 to Leo, thus knocking the team out of Catholic League play. The Vikings were greatly led and greatly influenced by the outstanding per- formances of the team's M.V.P., pitcher Tony Lewis, and also by catching abilities of the team's most improved player, cat- cher Mark Bronke. The St. Laurence Coaching Staff would like to congratulate the Varsity Baseball Team on their outstanding performances, despite the season's cold and rainy outset. l Top: THE VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM - flfront Rowl C. .
