It was enough to make even the most unenthusiastic sports fans sit up and take notice. No they weren't the Astros, and Vida Blue wasn't pitching, but the combined talents of Coach Hershel Lansford and Coach Dan Malone allowed MacArthur to produce one of its best varsity Baseball teams ever. The pre-season began in February after many months of training. The first scrimmage game, February 27 against Reagan gave Big Red their first victory of the sea- son, with a score of 8-2. The season started March 1 against Eisenhower. The team put forth a tremendous effort during this first double header of the year, and emerged victorious with scores of 8-2 and 16-3. One of the better games took place against Forest Brook. Senior Ray Hill not only pitched the team to a 11-6 victory, but scored 3 of the 1 1 runs himself with 3 homer- uns. As the season drew to a close, MacArthur had finished out the year with an overall district season of 8 wins and 6 losses. Varsity awards were given to all the teammates and the team voted senior Howard Lemaire the Best All Around player. Senior Ray Hill took his share of honors with the Nlost Valuable player award and the Highest Batting Aver- age award. 204 baseball K Who's at bat?
