l.V. Baseball The 1.V. baseball team went unde- feated with a I7-O record this season. The team worked long and hard at their practices to prove that this was going to be the best season ever. The team had a good performance. They were characterized by their aggressiveness on both base and at bat, by sound de- fense, and good pitching. Their success came by total team effort , said Coach Patterson. Leading the Panther pack was Eric Beck with a .552 batting aver- age and 5 homeruns. Leading the de- fense was Larry Yokeley, who ended his season with a perfect pitching record of 8-O.
