SW N HIFT ADMIRALS STICK IT TO OPPONENTS The athletes watch their teammate anxiously in the humid, sunny after- noon. She steps to her place and stands poised. She takes her backswing and pulverizes the small white ball, smash- ing it into the distance, eliciting cheers from her team. What sport is this? It is golf, and it is softball, two sports in which the Admirals excel. The 1988 softball team was primarily composed of first-year players. Howev- er, the blend of new and old proved to be a perfect mixture for the Admira- lettes, who defeated each opposing team 3 out of 4 times. The team met four days a week at Field 42 in Subic, cheered on by scores of Philippine con- struction workers at Company A bar- racks. They've been there all seasonf' commented Liz Ahl, the catcher.'The hours of practice paid off for novice pitcher Michelle Marcelo, who led the team to victory and the championship. Practice was fun, I learned a lot each day since it was my first season, said Michelle. In the championship tournament, the team fought to a 1-0 victory over Clark, then faced I.S., their most challenging opponent. ln the end, I.S. was the har- dest team to beat, but we're better than them, said Rachel Johnson. The Ad- miralettes lost to I.S., and came in sec- ond in the tournament, but placed first for the season. Sabrina Operchuck led the league in batting, and her twin Kris- tina led in home runs. Meanwhile, George Dewey golfers defended their 1987 PSSAA champion- ship crown. In a sport that is usually considered individual, the players, scores were compiled as a team in com- petition. I wanted to improve my game and help the school defend the crown, said Jason Moore. Team members practiced and com- peted during the school week. The team enjoyed a generally successful season, engaging in a constant struggle for first with I.S. Charles Dennis said, I.S. is coming on strong. They're the ones we have to beat. Each team readied itself for the championship in Baguio where Mr. Wilson predicted a 5 or 7 shot difference in scores between the top teams. Mr. Wilson added, Hopefully we'll have everybody returning next year, and our inexperienced players will develop into better golfers. THE WOMEN'S SOFTBALL TEAM.
