The tide then changed and we expe- rienced three successive defeats. Rochester beat us 11 to 4 and Norris Farm nipped our diamond stars 2 to 0. Wilmot, the league champions, piled up runs in the early innings to win 11 to 1. In the final game of the year and the final M.H.S. game for the Seniors and Coach Laverty, we trounced East Troy 9 to 5 to finish with three wins and three losses. This clinched third place for us in the con- ference standings. 19
