Reserve Steve Shelton pauses under high pop fly. Participants in Reserve Program Practice the Skills of Baseball Long sessions in the batting cage and hours of practice in fundamental skills was the price paid by reserves aspiring for varsity positions. Besides their nightly prac- tice sessions, the team played against the varsity several times and participated in their own reserve league. Coached by Mr. Buscko, the team improved steadily dur- ing the season. The high percentage of returning varsity lettermen helped account for the fine quality of the reserves. Outstanding players were outfielders Ray Moser and Dave Demick and infielders Jon Paul, Jim Wynne, Pat Parker and Steve Shelton. Pitchers Ed Brewster and Mark Griffin and catcher Tom Wakefield also showed varsity potential. 4 O Reserve catcher Tom Wakefield comes through with hit against Lincoln.
