Kevin Skaggs. and Mike Thielmeier The power hitting was more of a team effort than an individual one because each of the 10 regulars had at least one home run The combination of consistent hitting with power hitting gave the Falcons a strong offensive attack. The team had good speed on the base- paths with such players as Jeff Lyons, who had only been thrown out stealing twice in two years Good runners also were Mike Ryan. Bob Malloy. Alan Deddens. Eric Ray. Rick Curtis and David Smith Strong defensive play was led in the in- field by seniors. Kevin Skaggs (Golden Glove award winner two consecutive years). Fred Shablik. Tim Moreschi. and Mike Harreld Strong back up in the infield was con- tributed by Joe Scheler. Steve Thieneman and Buddy Ray The speedy outfield was led by Mike Ryan. Eric Ray and Bob Malloy with strong back up play by Jeff Lyons. Scott Peak. Larry Druien. and David Smith To make the defensive attack all worthwhile, the team was led in the pitching department by Alan Deddens. winner of All-District and All- Regional team awards: Mike Hicks, two- time winner of the BD Pitching award for most wins in regular season.
