The Bear outfield and infield exhibited virtually flaw- less defense, committing but a single error. Bob Ramey and Sally Norman once again paced the Bear offense, each belting a timely double to bring in the other four Bear hitters.

I l 1 L .sIyN' CRUSH EARS 10- 12-4 On May 15 the Bears ended their season on a 5-2 note, as they drop- ped a double header to the Aztec All-Stars. The first game ended in defeat, as the Bears were unable to main- tain their early two run lead. Starter John Trejo's inability to find the plate, coupled with the absence of all relievers except Ramey, led to the ten run All-Star total. The All-Stars provided a repeat performance in the second game. By this time Bear morale was too low to muster the concerted effort necessary to effect a split, and the burden of cooling off a hot All-Star rally again fell upon Ramey and Trejo. The Bear defense played its role, as error upon error allowed the All-Stars to capitalize on their hits for scores. In search of a fresh arm, Coach Miller called on left fielder Sally Norman to go to the mound in the top of the sixth. In the bottom of that inning a late Bear rally proved insufficient in closing the seven run scoring gap, and the Bears lost 12-5. Ramey belts grounder to short as Weatherbee and Trejo warm-up.
