Varsity Baseball Fans The County With Rich Reiser on the mound, Tom Stanton at the plate, and Larry Kinsey in the field and .at the plate, Centennial's varsity baseball team improved on last year's season with an 11-8 mark. i The team's significant ingredient was its pitching staff that led all other county op- ponents with a team' E.R.A. of 2.17. The pitching staff was led by senior Reiser 11.071, sophomore Arthur Tate 12.971, and junior Ken Grimsley 13.141 Coached by Chuck Bragg, the varsity Eagles finished third in the county and boast- ed the fact that they were the only team to beat both county co-champions -- Glenelg and Howard. The season seemed over for the Eagles when they were nudged out of the playoffs in the last week, but luck was on their side as eligibility rules disqualified another team and Centennial gladly filled the slot. Coach Bragg and his men showed they belonged, defeating Middletown in the first round 3-1. Round two proved fatal as the Eagles lost to a solid team from Boonsboro, 6-1. Attitude and responsibility were the important factors that helped the players work together as a winning team -- theirsconsistent intensity paid off. 7 ABOVE, RIGHT' Centennial hurlcr Arthur Tate winds up and prepares to fire another strike across the plate.
