l l Talented, Spirited M-Men Y Varsity Marshall's baseball team had a lot of talent and spirit and it looked as though the season was going to be a winning one. However, the Minutemen ran into trouble early, losing their first ten league games and ending the season with a 2- 16 record. The team won a game at Wilson with a score of 8-2. In that game, the M-Men came out in the first inning and scored four runs, and after that the Wilson team was trying to figure out what had happened. We owed those guys that, stated Senior Ron Actkin- son after what happened the last time when Wilson was awarded the winf' After the M-Men were leading 3-0, behind Actkinson's five inning no-hitter, an M-Men player, Kelly Gentry, was disqualified for not sliding into second base on a double play attempt. Marshall was forced to forfeit since the M-Men roster had been reduced to nine men for that game. l l l Leading the team in hitting were Seniors Mark Cavan- augh, who had a .452 batting average, and Rich Fayette who had a .473 batting average. Both players were select- ed to the all-city first team. With the effort and determina- tion the Minutemen showed this year, we should have won a lot more games. Many of them were very close but a lot of times we ended up on the short end of a 6-4 or 2-1 game, stated Coach Ed LeBaron, who was in his first year of coaching for the Minutemen. Even though the season proved to be a trying one, the Minutemen took it one game at a time and learned from each game. First baseman Ron Actkinson was honorably mentioned along with Mike Flye, junior, and Jim Dozark, sophomore as all city players. We had a lot of fun, the team was really close, and we tried our best, that's the most any team can do, summed up Fayette. VARSITY BASEBALL-FRONT: Coach Ed LeBaron, Kelly Gentry, Jim Do zark, Mark Cavanaugh, Rick Stanfill, Rich Fayette. BACK: Ken Shaddy, Jim Stormo, Tom Mays, Ron Actkinson, Mike Flye, Jim Tommerup.
