NAIA DISTRICT 3 CHAMPICNS sir . 'X H' if A if gs ,ff QQ?-Q ll Ep ,x , R -ss in Coach Larry Potter Coach Potter isn't always this iovicil with umpires after games start. Coach of the Year A great California Western University baseball team finished its best season in the schools history to cinch the NAIA District 3 championship and win a bid to the National Tournament at St. Jo- seph, Missouri. The team finished 27-4 in its 29-game schedule, earning a batting average of .300 with five regulars over that mark. Joe Sewall led the hitters with .376, followed by Phil Dunmeyer, .35l, Joe Leatherwood, .305,and Chuck Leaf.488. Pitcher Chuck Leaf was home-run leader with seven. Hancock led in RBI's with 26, and Dunmeyer was runs scored leader at 36. Myron Morper, lead-off hitter, led the team with 22 walks. Joe Sewall led in at bats, 109, hits, 41, triples, 5, and stolen bases, 20. Big Lee McFarland led the pitchers with a 1.005 ERA for T07 U3 innings. During these 20 games the Phoenix Jun- ior racked up iiO strikeouts and only 29 walks. Senior pitcher Chuck Leaf finished up with a i2-2 record in 92 innings to wind up a brilliant baseball career at Cal Western. Two sparkling wins over the San Diego State Aztecs won Western's first city championship. At the NAIA National Tourney in St. Joseph, Missouri, CWU was one of the eight best small college teams in the country earning bids to compete. Western lost a i-0 heartbreaker to Lewis College of Lockport, Ill., in the opening game and fell 5-O to East Caro- lina College of Greenville, N. C. Brown, Morper, and Sewall show little game pressure when Westerners are at bat. Cal Western's home diamond is Beeson Field at the Marine Corp Recruit Depot. 215
