Pitchers Hold Key to Baseball Success Cabrillo latest addition to squad is an electric pitching machine. i' ' w kv , fir , 4. i 1 r W gf- .K .4 N.-ssl-E Sporting a strong pitching staff and some promising talent as far as hitting is concerned, the varsity baseball nine was hopeful of a big season despite some strong opposition from Righetti and Santa Maria. The Conquistadores placed fourth in the first annual Cabrillo-Lompoc tournament and as a result carried a 2-3 record into Santa Barbara County League competi- tion. ln their two tournament victories, the Hillmen dumped San Luis Obispo 7-l and edged Lompoc 4-3. Terry Leone collected three hits to pace the offense over San Luis Obispo as Rick Simpson handled the pitching duties. Senior first-baseman Jim Clesson slugged a run-scor- ing double to knock in the winning run in the squad's exciting conquest of Lompoc. Mike Denne, Mark Ervin and shortstop Bobby Null all ripped triples in the triumph. Sophomore pitcher Tony Mason threw three innings of relief to take the mound victory. Leone led the team with a .455 batting average after tourney play followed by Null C3842 and Irvin C.3l2j. Besides Simpson and Mason, coaches Dick Wilson and Don Harmison were depending on Denne and iunior Randy East to bolster the mound corps as the Conquista- dores headed into league ploy.
