Varsity Baseball Has Slow Start The 1982 varsity baseball team had its share of ups and downs. With a strong prospective team, the Kats were dis- couraged by 8 losses before getting their first win. When they were able to get it together, however, the team had the distinction of being the first to defeat League-leading Benson, 4-1. Following the Benson win, the Kats were able over over each of the other B- East teams, except for Thatcher. The second Thatcher loss was a scare for the Eagles, as the Kats led until the final inning and lost with dignity, 3-2. Overall Duncan finished with a 4 and 12 record, with a 4 and 1 conference record. Raymond Bejarano’s performance on the mound was sufficient to gain him a spot on the All-Conference team. Sec- ond baseman Charles Hanson, batting .481, and catcher Randy Crum, batting .390, were selected to the 2nd team. Coach Rodriguez gets a little excited as dason crosses home plate in the top shot.

JV Baseball The JV baseball team’s biggest problem this season was a lack of games. Because the JV pro- gram had been dropped last season, the scheduling of games in the second year of a 2-year block was difficult, and it left the young team with long per- iods of inactivity between games. Several of the young Kats turned in fine performances. Special strengths were seen in the pitching of Arthur Rodri- quez and the batting of Joe So- tello. Several of the players put in time on both the JV and Var- sity squads. In the action shots here, 1I Robert dem- onstrates his five hatting style; 2) Ar thur delivers a pitch;.'))
