28 VV On cmoch cs Feehan Style Besides eating hot dogs and driving Chevies, baseball ranks as America’s favorite pastime. The reason is obvious to anyone who has attended Hayward Field in the spring and seen the game as it should be played, the Feehan way. Feehan’s 1976 season was a long his- tory of too-close defeats and come-from- behind triumphs that culminated in a more- than-respectable (8-13) win-loss record. But more often than not, the actual score took back seat to the excitement generated by the Shamrock team as they battled opponents with world series feroc- ity.

Feehan Girls Handle Plates Running, sliding, throwing, and catch- ing, the girls’ softball team showed great enthusiasm. Led by Sister Norma Mous- seau and co-captains, Shannon Lee and Christine Kelly, the team worked hard for their victories. The Shamrocks had a good average of ten runs per game. Patricia Carlson and Christine Kelly led the batting attack each with three home runs to their credit. Pitcher, Chris Kelly, and second baseman, Barbara Marceau were chosen for the Division Il] All-Star team, voted on by the coaches. Softball lost several first class players when seniors, Mel Broadly, Denise Nev- eaux, and Pat Carlson graduated, but upcoming Barbara Marceau and Beth Par- ker show that Feehan power is still alive and well. Swinging and hitting with perfect aim and skill, Bar- bara Marceau grounds to left field as the catcher waits for the ball to hit the glove. 29
