“Pick Up The Pieces” • • • Kicking off a season with six starters returning from lost year's team, the Reogan Varsity Baseball team finished with an average 11-11-1 record. But disappointment was visible in every player's eyes for they were hoping to salvage a winning season. With the potential obviously there. Coach Larry Spiller indicated that the season depended on hitters like Eric Nicneker, David Amundson, and Shorty Mirtsching delivering key hits in clutch situations. But key hitting and clutch pitching never synchronized as pitchers George Freeman and Charles Reed pitched superbly only in spots. Unfortunately, the superb pitching performances occurred when hitting was poor. Defensively, Mike Livermore, Paul Griffith, and David Amundson consistently turned in excellent performances to keep the defense on their toes. LBJ and Anderson were the best two teams, but after that the teams were about the same,” pointed out Coach Spillar.
