Baseball Boasts 22 Returning Cettennen There is no substitute for experience and the lack of it was a major factor in the Bobcats 3 win 17 loss baseball record. Coach Marvin Scherpf's outfit started the season with only three returning letter-men and one senior. This year the club boasts 12 returning lettermen and one freshmen. Hitting was not a real problem for the Bobcats, they just couldn’t handle the ball and lost several games due to errors. The Bobcats went through 12 games without a victory. The first victory was over Siuslaw 10-8. Out-hitting the opponents 12-5, the Bobcats never trailed in the contest and Robinson was the first winning Bobcat pitcher. McCurdy went 2 for 4 and knocked in four runs while Grisham and Lancaster each had 2 RBI’s. Coquille was the next Bobcat victim as the Red Devils witnessed a 3-2 defeat. Hartley was the winning pitcher and Grisham knocked in three runs with two singles. The Bobcats final victory was over Pacific, 3-1. McCurdy threw a nifty two-hitter for the victory, while MacKerrow, Stamen, and Grisham each Pitcher Harold Hartley concentrates on ball control before pitching to knocked in one run. teammates during batting practice.
