Hitting, defense are keys to diamond success Hitting and defense were the keys to the Titans ' success on the baseball diamond. A stronger infield and more depth at the plate and on the bench gave the Titans one of the best hitting teams in the school ' s history. Tony Gabriel and Dennis Bentzler anchored the defense. Each proved himself worthy by making some tough plays in key situations. Also, the youthful Titans im- proved in the fielding by commit- ting less errors than in 1970. a — Scooping up the low throw, Larry Lindley makes the retrieve at first base. b — Dan Shields looks on as a Cass in- fielder moves in for the expected bunt, c — Rick Keck snares the ball in his glove as another opponent is fanned, d — A view towards Rick Keck and home plate from behind and over the shoulder of pitcher Dennis Bentzler. uuiiwirti limflWMHIHiB
