CHIE EI Varsity baseball in 1989 could best be described as a comeback team. In 16 of the 23 games the opposition scored in either the first or second inning. Showing poise and determina- tion, the players would stick to- gether and find ways to win. The Chiefs ended their reg- ular season tied for first place. In the playoff game against Clover Hill, Todd Campbell hit a grand slam in the bottom of the twelfth inning. In the Regionals, the Chiefs beat Meadowbrook, Tucker, and Lee-Davis. The Season ended in the state semi- finals when the Chiefs lost to Woodson 6-3. Leading pitchers were Rob Wesley (8-1), Mike Dougherty (3-1), Mike Peasley (3-2), and Todd Campbell (3-1, 4 saves). At the plate the Chiefs were led by Dave Smith (.417, 12 RBI’s), Todd Campbell (.396, 12 RBI’s), Rob Wesley (.378, 12 RBI’s), John Eliasek, Chris Porter, Mike Peasley, Aaron Cannaday, and Dan Rogers. The J.V. season finished up 8- 7-1. Doug Powell led the team in hitting (.447) with 1 home run, 9 doubles and 22 RBI’s. Frank Holloman (.439) followed with 13 stolen bases and scored 16 runs.
