Freshman Larry Holmes paced the 1971 diamondmen with a .381 batting aver- age during the baseball campaignwhich saw two victories in 18 games. Junior Dave Holmquist led the team in home runs (3), RBI's (16), hits (23), doubles (20), and triples (3) while hitting a .371 clip. Teammate Mike McCarthy averaged .303 at the plate. All three returned for the 1972 season. Pitching problems hindered the success of the team's game plan throughout the season as indicated by a last place, 1 -9 record in the NIAC. Midland also fin- ished atthe bottom of the Tri-State Con- ference, ending the school's last year of participation in it.
