Inconsistent Play Proves To Be Downfall Of Year Coach Kiewit! tells the team the starting lineup before a game against Flint Nothern The 1984 baseball team was incon- sistent throughout the season. The team had a potent offensive attack but seemed weak on the pitching staff. Captain Andre Adams led the offensive attack in almost every category and was the Most Valuable Player on the team.

The bright side of the season was the occasional offensive punch by the team. They scored sixteen runs against Hamady and twenty-two runs against Flint Nothern for two wins.
