23 BASEBALL TEAM CAPTURES SECOND PLACE IN THE DISTRICT And its going to be close! The Dukes baseball team appeared to be headed for the top as they ended regular season play with a 10-4 record. The team started off slowly, dropping their first two games; they then seemed to get it all together and won the next seven games. And then as the season ended, the Dukes found themselves in a first place tie with Fluvanna, but Fluvanna was awarded first place because they beat the Dukes twice during the regular season. The Dukes settled for second place and found themselves facing Goochland in the first round of the tournament. They tried hard, but were beaten by the team that ended up runners up in state competition. All was not lost however, for the Dukes had beaten Goochland twice during regular season play by scores of 12-2 and 5-1; and that's something to brag about--beating the runners up in state competition twice. The team ended up with a .298 batting average, with four players batting over .350. David Baber led all batters with a .517 average followed by Marcellus Robinson with a - 393 average. Home run hitters for the Dukes included Dav- id Baber, Marvin Meadows, and Daniel Robinson with two. Additional honors went to Gene Shores and Marcellus Robin- son who were selected to the first all-district team--Gene at third base and Marcellus in centerfield.

UP IN JAMES RIVER DISTRICT : Penny Moorefield and Sheila Hatcher display batting forms. - MOREE Y ex eae R Score, score, score! 25 And its a fight to tag the plate! The 1974-75 Dukette Softball season opened with a strong desire to take first place in the James River District. As the season progressed, the Dukettes became stronger, and only when they defeated them- selves did they suffer a loss. The team con- sisted of several seniors, all of which were quality players, that assisted in construct- ing one of the most experienced teams in the district. Even though the task of trying to take first place became harder after the second game at Goochland, the team maintained their poise and organization and confiscated their share of victories. The season ended with the Dukettes posting an 11-3 record which earned them second place in the district. Next year will be mostly a rebuilding season for the Dukettes, but with a strong will and hard work their goal of capturing first place won't be too far away.
