The season opened with a double win over Royal Oak Dondero 14-2 and 1-0. One of the most memorable games of the season was the game against Hazel Park, when the Maples made up an eight run deficit and won 11-10. Many team members received awards at the end of the season. Greg Lotzar was voted the most valuable player with a batting average of .550. He was also awarded All League and All Area honors. Other players receiving All League awards were the Captain, Gene Gaudino, and Deric Righter, the first basemang The whole team had a positive attitude about the season. Greg Lotzar's extraordinary batting average sparked them on to combined efforts that won more than two-thirds of their twenty-seven games. Eb wwf ,.

-I.V. Baseball . I.V. Slips But '81 Looks Good E Disappointment marked the Iunior Varsity Baseball season a 4-11 p record. Although the I.V. team placed near the bottom of the league ranks, they still kept their spirit up. According to Coach Kevin Andrews, The i ' guys really did their best this year. Even though I.V. practices were hard, the team members admitted that they were well planned. The overall record did not reveal it, but practice sessions helped players increase their stamina and experience for future , games. The leading pitcher on the I.V. team was Mike Gilpin, with Guy Boitas in defensive support. Guy was also one of the team's leading hitters. Many players of the 1980 season will be returning to play in 19-81, giv- ing high hopes for better performances on both the I.V. and the Varsity teams. The coaches are excited about the number of returning players. With so many experienced players to work with, their outlook for both of ' the teams is extremely optimistic. .tx E? G .
