Jw Ii 4? Baseball This year Middie Baseball will feature 10 re- turnees from last season's 18 man squad, and Coach Vic Liviccori, returning from a one-year sabbatical leave, will once again take the reins from last year's coach Richard Siers. Coach Liviccori vows to keep only 15 on the 1976 Var- sity Team, leaving many battles for jobs among returning Varsity men and moving up l.V. players. Three of last year's pitching staff will return, with john Scarano, Nelson Merced and Bob Taylor battling it out with Dave Wordon, Bucky St. Hilaire and Steve Dineen for the scarce hurling spots. Meanwhile, returning catcher Ken Ritter will have his hands full trying to hold a staring position over a stiff challenge from Bill Fortier. The rest of last years team, Mike Cuddy, Wally Deisseroth, Bob Eherts, Mark johnson, Tony Melendez and Rod Whitby will wait anxiously for final cuts to be made. Three juniors with shots at starting this year are: Mark Amodio, Mark Strecker, and Nelson Reed who was outstanding last year. All in all, Mr. Liviccori will have a real tough time picking his final fifteen. With the entire battery and most of the outfield and infield returning, the Middies look to be a strong con- tender for the OCL title. - num. --Y 128 J I f a' X 'Q 1 I ---V f X f la AW If l gd ,6 f Q 3' l Nu I

J l Soccer Middie soccer enjoyed an 11-2-2 season while finish- ing a shade behind Monticello in the O.C.L. American Conference race. After losing their first two outings, Coach Tom Clarke regrouped his squad and led them on an exciting chase of the league leading Monties. In the season's most thrilling game Middletown beat Monticello making the Middie comeback hope a reali- ty. In the season's final O.C.L. contest, Monticello came to Middletown needing a victory or a tie to clinch the title. Unfortunately, with a score of one to one, Middletown's title hopes faded as darkness de- scended on the field at Watt's Park. Thus, a great season ended on a disappointing note. Coach Clarke, in reflecting back on the season, praised the play of seniors Rosario Parisi and Robert Ehrets. Underclass- -Q men Butch Roller and Joe Macri also received special to ,,: ,'ii A y ,N mention. g iii Nm' g . I . L , t.k. ky fi..
