Kevin Radelet and John Diggins kept the team batting high with leading averages. After losing three starters to the Varsity Team the outfield slumped a bit. Nick Spadafore kept his fellow out- fielders intact by using his veteran lead- ership. An average 9-6 record did not re- flect the ball caliber of the team. Each player showed fine potential in the field and in the batters box. This group should provide Mr. Knapp with a strong team next season to help him back on the win- ning trail. Kevin Radelet said, We had a great team, and great fun, thanks to a great guy, Coach Gibbs. .ff lll VY s A GOOD GAME East Lansing players shake the hands of Lansing Everett players after the game.
