Winning isn’t everything, but pitching seems to be. As the baseball team’s record of 4 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tie seems to indicate, a strong pitching staff makes or breaks a team. Say¬ ing that the pitching staff consisted of two players seems to imply a lack of depth. Depth was not the problem with hitting. Until the last few games, the highest batting average was 800. Coming down to a more human average of 684, next year’s captain, Steve Rentschler, offers great hope for the future. In contention for the same title was a freshman, Jeff Bridges, who batted well over 400. All but five of this year’s players will return next year, anx¬ ious to smooth the rough edges that lie ahead.
