Coach Tungate Ends First Year: 6 and 8 Varsity Baseball The 1969 season marked Paul Tungate's first year as coach of the Varsity Baseball team. The overall record for their 22 games this season was seven wins, fourteen losses, and one tie. Their league record was six wins and eight losses. Tom Grace and Marshal Sealy were the Wolves leading pitchers. Sealy had four wins and two losses and recorded twenty-nine strikeouts. Grace had three wins, five losses, and forty-three strikeouts. Doug Green was the most effective hitter on the team. Steve Warman was voted “most valuable'' player. Coach Tungate is looking forward to the coming season. He has returning lettermen plus needed help from last year’s J.V. squad. A spring trip is also one of the things that Coach Tungate hopes will materialize.
