Baseball Due to a 3 game forfeit, the CHS Panthers were forced to succumb to a 9-8 record for the ’73 season. Hopes for a possible Western Mass Baseball Championship were defeated in a key mid-season 3-2 loss to Tech despite Bob O’Herron’s tremendous pitching amid combined team support. 73 grads, Bob Duquette and Bob O’ Herron, won titles of MVP and Outstanding Pitcher, respectively. Prominent players on the squad included Bob Burke, Jim Connery, Tim Duquette, Brian Jarry, and Chris Kaiser. Once again the panther power exceeded expectations, but fell short of reaching number one. “The year that paper broke our bats!” — Mr. Dan Balicki
