, , .V- ,-, . .V All varsity teams this year were young and inex- perienced but the baseball team was probably the hardest hit of all since no letter men had returned from the i943 squad. Lenhardt, Casas, Beck, lessee and Lenahan came up from last year's Junior Varsity. The remainder of the Varsity squad is made up of newcomers. The team is young, inexperienced, but they are a bunch of hustlers who are in there trying all the time. The season began with a game with Sarasota I-ligh after a few days' practice played on the Boston Red Sox training field. K. lvl. I. won Q to I, Nichols pitching, Casas receiving. A pitchers' battle with few hits by either side. First game with Ft. Myers was rained out in the third inning with K. IVI. I. leading 5 to 3. A double header was played at Venice, the Kaydets winning 9 to 3 and ll to Q. Batteries for K. lvl. I., Nichols and Casas in the first game, and Donohue and l.enahan in the second, K. M. I. hit well in both games, getting fourteen and twelve safe- ties, respectively. Sarasota was played the return game at Venice which the Sailors won Q-I. An airtight and well played contest with very little hitting. Nichols hurled and Casas caught for the Kaydets. In Kentucky K. lvl. I. belongs to the Falls City High School Baseball League of six teams. It is one of the fastest scholastic leagues in the country in which K. lvl. l. won third place in IQ43, placing Marseilles, pitcher, and the late Warren Ware, 3rd baseman, on the All Star se- lection. , The Kaydets showed they were off form after their long layoff when they lost their first game to lvlale High O to 4. Donohue pitched well, Lenahan catching but his teammates were unable to hit behind him. Atkins and Theiss relieved the starting battery in the fifth. A majority of the League games are yet to be played at this writing. While no illusions are entertained respect- ing the championship it is felt that the young Kaydets, gaining baseball savvy and experience with each game, will make a good showing. It is expected that they will do as well in the final standing as last year, The team fields well, brilliantly at times, but is weak with the bat. Pitchers Nichols, Donohue, Atkins and Rohde have shown consider- able ability on the mound. Captains Weber and Pace are the coaches. -. , -r,.4'2Fg ' . , ,.',..,,-.:'.'- 1 -, - ,Arr - E I,...,..5, Q, 1, ,...,.. I - . w r 1 , r A-.u, - -..ufg,,4, . -- H '
