Who’s on First? The King Baseball team had an outstanding season. They per- formed well as a group and acted as one big happy family. The team attend- ed church together just before the season began and also had family get togethers in school with the team's parents. Hitting was outstanding. Even the starting sophomores hit extremely well. However most of the heavy hitting weight was carried by the junior and senior players. With the speed of Derrick Pedro and Gary Matthew, added with the power of Derek Bell, the team usually scored in the first inning. But hitting and scor- ing were not all that they depended on. All players felt very strongly that they must be able to keep a lead when they have one through good pitching and protection of the bases These two fac- tors made up a great deal of the game. Coach Macaluso stated the team was trained in the fundamentals of the game; that's why they were so suc- cessful; and the support of the bench was also a major factor.
