Diamond man Chester Cudzilo ronnects for another Madison run. Diamond Men Sparkle The Bluestreak Baseball team, under the coaching of coach George Opron and Gene Melin, ended its 1969 season with a 7-7 record over all and a 4-4 league record. The Bluestreaks finished in second place behind a three way tie between Harvey, Wickliffe, and Riverside. The 69 baseball squad didn’t fare well against either Riv- erside or Harvey, losing twice to each club. Fortunately they were able to knock off both Wickliffe and Perrv twice for their league mark. Chester Cudzillo finished the year with the best pitching record in which he pitched a 4-2 record. Mike Stewart, Jeff Strack, and Jack Petroff each gained an addi- tional win. Perhaps the high point of the sea- son was their victory over Wick- liffe, spoiling their attempt for the league championship. In the first of these games, Madison won 7-6 in a game that went nine innings. The box score showed 7 runs, 13 hits, and 5 errors for Madison, while Wickliffe had 6 runs, 11 hits, and a single error. Craig Stier led the Streaks with 3 hits, one of which was a grand slam home run. The score was tied 6-6 until the 9th in- ning when Chester Cudzillo was forced home after Rick Tuuri was hit by a pitch. Even though the Streaks ended with an even record, they exhibited great team spirit and ability the entire season. With 7-7.
