The first game was highlighted by a no-hitter thrown by sopho- more jeff Schmidt. The team had good leadership from the sophomores and, over- all, was a good solid hitting and fielding team.

Rain Dampens Baseball Season Kevin Kais, pitcher for the Var- sity team, gave his opinion of this year's season: We had a very frustrating year in more ways than one . Most of the players have been practicing since March and some since january, only to see our first ten games in April rained out. We did have some high points when we hit six homeruns in the first two games. Gverall, it should be a better year next year with eight lettermen re- turning . ' ' The team had some powerful bats in their lineupg including Dean Weil shown on the right. The team had good pitching. Even in the games that were lost, the pitching was able to keep the score close . The team began the season with most of its regular games being rained put, but were yet able to play effectively. . 7 ' Y 7 X, ,. V' T' iii ,, F l f 'L W Q N Q i , M' , - .'.' Q, . . .
