Us Ss Baseball in ot Finish The JV Baseball team was hurt by a slow start, but they came on with a vengeance in the last half of the season, winning eight of their last 11 games. Coach Larry Ike at- tributed this late peaking to the lack of a freshman team, which would give the JV's some season- ing, he feels. Says Ike, They were a hard-working club, and they never quit! He points out that there were several games with on- ly a one-run difference. The team ended up with a 6-7 league record and 10-8 overall. Chris Otto led the team with a .333 batting average and was followed by Chris Dukarski l.316l and freshman Dave Przybysz l.310l. Other good hitters included Jim Sommers and Tom Hussey, who credited Scrappy, their lucky bat, for their great stats. Ace pitcher was junior Scott Rowan l5-2l with a 1.51 ERA. He was supported by frosh pitchers Rick Ocharzak, Ryan Stambaugh, Brian Anderson and Steve Stewart. Sports 99
