DIAMONDMEN TRIUMPH IN A With only three returning lettermen, seniors John ' 'r' ' Lepkowski and John Shannon ,and junior Marty Lap- pin, the 1961 Hoban baseball team repeated an ex- cellent performance, placing second, behind Central, in the Akron City League. Under Coach Zupke, the team fought its way to an 8-7 season. Starting the season with a superlative pitching job by Marty Lappin, who struck out 13 batters, the Ho- ban nine paced a 6-3 Win over South. In the second game Central revealed the strong pinch-hitting of Ron Aaron. Then South tried for revenge. In the last inning the tying and winning runs were scored by All-City catcher Dave Richards and Bob Dadik on a double steal and an error. In the North game, Won by Hoban 14-2, Denny Kraus led the hitting department with a homer and two triples, while Marty Lappin finished with a 4- hitter. Denny Kraus and Bob Dadik were the leading hitters on the team. Losing only five seniors through graduation, Coach Zupke has high hopes for reaching the number one position in the Akron area during the 1962 season.
