Bonnie Spence beats out the throw by a Park View infielder, but her efforts weren’t enough as the Lady Bulldogs lost 18-17. ► Lack of Experience Causes Losing Season The Lady Bulldogs began the softball season full of spirit and high expecta¬ tions, but during the latter part of the schedule, where they lost nine of ten games prevented a winning season. The inexperience of the Lady Bulldogs was the key factor in several of the losses, as they were unable to keep the opposition from scoring the majority of their runs in one or two innings. Despite the high scoring of the opposition in most of their losses, the Lady Bulldogs were very competitive and the experi¬ ence gained should help in the upcom¬ ing softball season.

The final victory over the Blue- stone Barons enabled the Bulldogs to break even and obtain some consola¬ tion from a long season. The usually rainy weather stayed away and enabled the Bulldogs to play more games than they have for several years. However, inconsistent offense was the chief cul¬ prit in the Bulldogs ten losses, despite receiving excellent pitching from the staff. Expectations are high for next season, as the Bulldogs return nine vet¬ erans for the springtime wars. Marvin Mull is congratulated after scoring the winning run in 6-5 Bulldog victory over the Cumberland Dukes. ▼ 16 Baseball
