BASEBALL SEASON SUMMARY The Raiders finished the fall baseball season with a 6 won, 3 lost record, dropping contests to more experienced French Lick, Paoli, and Oil Township. With the exception of a few players, the Raiders were inexperienced, but they improved as the season rolled on. Jim Moss, big right-handed sophomore pitcher, brought his amazing strike-out total, for the fall baseball season to 10h in 57 innings. He promises to have one of the brightest futures in our national pastime. Freshman Richard Johnson, who played second base, was the club's leading hitter, batting well over MOD. He fields flawlessly on most occasions and promises to be a spark plug in the years to come.
