DIAMOND MEN The 1958 Flying L's Baseball team ended their season on a winning note as they have for the last few baseball seasons. Behind the pitching of Dan Roetelle, and the hit- ting of shortstop Bob Barnett, the Flying L's man- aged to win 13 games while losing only 3; two of the three were lost to West Palm Beach and Miami Edison by the score of 2-1. The L's took the Gold Coast Conference this year with a perfect record of 9 victories and no losses and took second in the District. Bob Barnett led the L's hitting attack with a .368 batting average good for third place in the County batting title. Tom Crawford was another Flying L whose batting average was in the 300's. The 1959 Ft. Lauderdale Flying L's Baseball squad behind Coach Davis and Assistant Coach John Wil- liamson has the appearance of being one of the most balanced squads Davis has had in a few years. The lettermen that are returning from last year's team include: second baseman Doug Cook, third baseman Dwight Hott, utility infielder Bob Longo, utility outfielder Dave Jackson, pitcher Pete Ander- son, shortstop Bob Barnett, and catcher Tom Craw- ford.
