The problem all year was the lack of pitching. We scored runs, an average of 5.5 per game, but couldn’t stop the other teams from scoring.’’ stated Coach Doug Bess. It was a tough season, but we learned a lot,” exclaimed Sophomore Rob Rathgeber. Though Rob led the team in almost all of the categories, including home runs, hits, batting averages, and runs-batted-in, many of the players had high batting averages which formulated the team’s strength. Sophomore Jim Crawford and Junior David Kuehn hit above .300. Sophomore Tin Linderman and Junio Stewart Trampino als had a good year. The district record of 6-8 and the seasor record of 10-11 did not accurately reflect the team’s strengths. Coach Bess stated. “ could be good next year if we can find some pitching.” By Lisa Baroski, Sports Editor I 110 Junior Varsity Baseball
