ISAAC ELSTON 12 NEW PRAIRIE LA PORTE 3 ISAAC ELSTON 2 This combination of scores reflects what has to be one of the more memor- able seasons for Coach Harry Tolmen and his Cougars. For the first time in | the history of baseball tourney play, ex state champion La Porte failed to win a sectional as it was upended by eighth ranked Isaac Elston. | ce Few fans gave New Prairie an outside chance of containing the Red Devils, | “” but Greg Hofer pitched what had to be the best game of his career as he held | } os Michigan City to two runs. The championship was strictly an anticlimax. Drained of all their emotional energy, the Cougars succumbed to Rogers in the title game. However, our Cougars beat the team that beat La Porte. Curt Swank was the man with the big bat in this game as he was three for four at the plate and drove in three big runs. Steve Deutscher batted in two runs with a pair of hits. New Prairie closed out its season with an 18-10 record and a second place finish in the conference. Four Cougars were recognized by conference coaches by being named to the AIl-NSC team. Ken Shead and Jim Bunton were named to the infield. Dan Gilpin was one of the pitchers, and Paul Zahl made the outfield.
