Tourney and Road Trip Highlight Season Sam Erdman lamented, A few breaks at the right time and Connell would have won it all. After a torrid start Lady Luck deserted the youthful Eagles of Coach Darreld Lookabill. Relying on base running and consistent pitching to terrorize the opponent was the basis of the Eagle attack. Bat power, however, remained a significant pro- blem in the crucial games. The team took its first road trip during the spring break, playing Yakima Valley teams. An- other first was Connell's first baseball tournament. Rain falling all weekend failed to dampen the spirit and enthusiasm at the tourney. The Eagles finished second in league to leader DeSales with a 7-3 record. Against tough com- petition, including AAA schools, Connell main- tained a winning season record of 16-11. Captain Jamie Person and inspirational Sam Erdman re- ceived the team awards. Selected to the Southeast A League All-Star Team were Karl Eppich, Benny Benavides, Eliazar Gonzalez, and Jamie Person, honorable mention.
