PACK WINS 16, DROPS TWO A 16 win— 2 loss baseball record, the best in Loyola ' s history, was a big surprise present from diamond coach Rags Scheuermann and the spirited Wolfpack to the student body and university. It was a surprise especially to Rags who had realistically pointed out at the beginning of the season that his team lacked experience with six freshmen aboard and would probably barely post an even record. Through his guidance and the help of such veteran mem- bers as Butler Powell, Bill Schonacher and Fred Schwartz, the frosh learned quickly and played vital roles in every victory. Without the improved playing of these newcomers Rags realized the team had only the slimmest chance in the NGAA tournament, and since freshmen are not allowed in tourna- ment play unless they relinquish their senior year eligibility, he decided Loyola would not enter this year. One big reason for the Pack ' s success story was the pitch- ing of freshman Darrell Massey, a lanky southpaw who struck out 82 in 50 innings while winning six and losing none. Darrell ' s fast ball caught the eyes of several major league scouts, but it was George Digby of the Boston Red Sox who finally signed the youthful hurler for $70,000, the largest bonus ever offered a New Orleans ball player. Another freshman, third baseman Fred Woessner, put punch in Loyola ' s offensive by hitting a whopping .509 during the season, the best batting average in the university ' s history and the first over .500. Butler Powell led the team in RBI ' s with 20 and Mike Rooney and Ken Adolph shared the home run title with three apiece. Jerry Brady headed the stolen base department with 26. The Wolfpack collected a total of 156 hits in 560 at bats for a team batting average of .278. SEASON ' S RECORD 12 10 9 1 9 4 8 4 11 11 5 4 4 4 11 9 3 6 L.S.U . 9 AAcNeese 1 McNeese 4 McNeese 4 So.
