Redskins stir up grand slam success We were a better team than our record indicated, said Tim Fishburn, a 1979 graduate and a member of Coach Bill Rosenstihl ' s 13-9 varsity baseball squad in 1979. Our team goal was to lose less than five games, said Coach Rosenstihl, but too many errors, unearned runs, and poor weather contributed to the nine games lost. Leadership and experience were pro- vided by George Greer, Bob Bohannon, Randy Munn, David Dunnigan, and Tim Fishburn who had been members of the 1977 City Championship team. George Greer, a three-year starting pitcher, finished 6-5 on the year while Bob Bohannon tossed a no-hitter against Shortridge. Bob tallied 3-3 on the year and led the team in hitting by smashing .449. With 19 RBI ' s to his credit, first baseman Randy Munn slugged .386. Tom Anclet did a really good job for us, said Rosenstihl, and was really out- standing as a freshman. Tom caught all the varsity ' s games after the third game of the year. Sophomore Michael Thompson tossed four victories for the varsity in 1979, and junior Robbie Clay- ton filled in at shortstop when Bohannon pitched. I ' m looking forward to my next two seasons at Manual, commented Clay- ton. Because of team work, unity, and strong individual performances by the reserve and freshmen squads, baseball at Manual should be strongly com- petitive the next few seasons. Coach Pack Craig steered his reserves to a 7-3 season in 1979. I think if it weren ' t for the mental errors, we could have gone undefeated, said Craig. The reserves, bolstered by seven experi- enced juniors, won their first six games. Senior pitcher Roy Wheeler pocketed seven victories and received a lot of sup- port in the guise of timely hitting and fielding, according to Coach Craig. Defeating Roncalli 6-5 to win the Chatard Invitational highlighted a 12-1 season for the freshman club. The fresh- men dropped their opener to Scecina, but then proceeded to whip off twelve straight victories. We played pretty good because we played together, said pitcher Kevin Hawk. Strong pitching provided by Hawk, Bruce Van Horn, and Bobby Wil- liams, who tossed two no-hitters, an- chored the freshmen ' s success. With the successes attained by the Redskins this past spring on each level of baseball, the ' Skins should be adding victories to Coach Rosenstihl ' s 133-105 record.

Trackettes page 22 The trackettes cheer for both the boys and girls track teams. Senior Zena Weber congratulates sophomore Darla Anderson on her run. Trackettes back both Track teams During the spring of 1979 when Man- ual had its track season, the Trackettes supported both the male and female Redskin track teams. The Trackettes cheered the teams on, recorded scores, and tallied the teams ' points. To qualify for Trackettes, interested girls had to pass a written test and an in- terview and maintain a C average. There were twenty-one girls on Man- ual ' s 1979 Trackette squad. Miss Do- rothy Powell, Trackette sponsor and girls track coach, said, The coaches of the track teams have found these girls pro- vide a valuable service to the track teams.
