DQSLNCJ T . ., I Fits Like A Glove Mavericks overcome injury-plagued season As the 1986 baseball season opened, Mauldin boys strug- gled offensively as well as de- fensively, and worked to sal- vage the remainder of the season's games. We faced a lot of bad times this year, but we always pulled through, we'll be better next year, said Coach Don Frost. The boys faced a variety of problems during the season. Injuries plagued the team. Se- nior Steve Nett, starting shortstop suffered a broken arm early in the season and was out for the year. Position problems also haunted the Mavericks. With a minimum number of players often times the line-up suffered. The in- juries our team suffered dur- ing the season really hurt our starting line-up, said out- fielder, Stacy Garrett. Personal loss also took its toll on the team as senior starter Robin Morris died in a car accident. The team was much closer due to all the hardships we faced, said first baseman, Jimmy Pillar. Mauldin lost eight seniors from the 1986 team, but the Mavericks still planned to make the best of it. We plan to come together and work as a team for a winning season next year, said Mauldin's Jimmy Pillar. Over all most of the 1986 season was a learning experi- ence. Last year we took some hard knocks, but we learned to take them as a team, we are a better team now because of it, said Coach Frost. The 1986 season looks promising. There are some available positions now and we will pick up some new team members that way. I am looking forward to next year, we have a good bunch of guysp we should go far. said Coach Frost. Diana Thompson You're out. Jeff Roulou misses by inches as he tries to complete one more run. Roulou was a major benefit to the team with his hitting abilities. iPhoto by Jimmy Furakawal Landing safe. Scott Small expertly avoids the tag at first. Small was an asset to the team in pitching and also in the outfield. Vdldql Bataebal 121
