Nelson - Coach. Baseball In the opening game against Randolph the team went down to defeat 15 to 1 due to 14 errors. After this game, the team showed steady improvement and played some very good baseball. Succeeding games found them beating Mazeppa 19 to 3 and Eyota 7 to 3. This was followed by a heartbreaking 4 to 3 loss in 12 innings to conference champion, Goodhue. In the district play-offs, Wabasha defeated Mazeppa and then lost a well-played game to a very strong Winona team, 2 to 0. The highlight of the season was Terry O'Brien's rapidly improving pitching, which, at one stretch, saw him pitch 12 consecutive innings without allowing a hit.

Six of these seven games were played in the rain. Our attack, which was centered around passing and a wide open style of play was definitely hindered by this bad weather. Our first game, which was with Alma, was played on the home field. Through an inability on our part to get the attack clicking , Alma won 6-0. Our next opponent was Lima. The entire team played a terrific game and we won 20-0. The next five games were losses. The scores were: St. Charles 30-0; Lewiston 33-7(through an infraction of the Minnesota High School Code; this game was later forfeited to us.); Plainview 40-14; Stewartville 21-0; and Eyota 6-0. Although we lost more games than we should have this year, the spirit of the team never lagged. 26
