;ins capture 78 City Crown Strong pitching and clutch hitting was Coach Bill Rosenstihl ' s explanation when the baseball team captured the City Tourney title to make Manual and the community exclaim proudly ' We are the Redskins. ' Rosenstihl said the team ' s pitching carried the team through the tourney, as it lacked hitting going into the final game of the tournament. Going into the tournament, we were very confident of our hitting, but it fell out from under us. Luckily we had two fine pitching performances by Geroge Greer and Fred Shipley, said Rosenstihl. Winning 9-7 in the final game over Marshall, the team was down seven times in the game before taking the 9-7 lead in the sixth inning. The winning blow came as Randy Munn blasted a pitch over the left field fence to score three runs. When I saw the pitch was coming in at the letters, I knew I ' d swing, because that ' s where I love a pitch to be. I took a full cut and it was gone, said Munn. The home run was Munn ' s first in nine years of organized baseball. I felt really great. My arm was not sore at all, and I didn ' t have to pitch out of the stretch. I had good control during the game until the seventh when George came in for me, said Shipley. Greer relieved in the seventh inning of the final game, and he had won two previous games in the tourney. The four consecutive tourney wins helped to push the team ' s record to a 16-5 season mark. Southport beat Manual in the Sectional Final to end the successful Redskin season. The baseball season was the exciting culmination of an active Spring at Manual High School. Randy Munn tries to bunt his way on the base paths. Munn hit a home run in the sixth inning of the City Final to give the Redskins a 9-7 city championship. Elated with joy, Manual supporters mob catcher Mark Gilvin and other players after the final game of the City Tourney. 8 Baseball

Jobs add hours onto busy days One after school activity which Manual students participated in was work. Most people may not have thought of this as part of school, but it was. Work was an important part of many Redskins ' lives, and since these people were part of Manual; work became an important part of Manual also. Redskins were employed at such places as McDonalds, Burger Chef, Church ' s and the Star News. When asked how his school life was affected by his employment, junior David Ginn said, It makes it kind of hard sometimes with homework and all; but a person has to be organized so that he can find time for everything. School should come first, however. Junior Mary Byland waits on customers at the Shelby Street McDonalds which is frequented by many Manualites. Redskins wishing to apply for work at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway congregate in the Career Guidance Center. 10 Working Manualites
