In pitching, Scotty Hamilton did extremely well. Out of the 8 games that Scot- ty pitched, he won 7. Scott Lord, Todd Hicks, and Greg Davies, who had the best earned run average, were also very good pitchers with high ratings to prove it. Mike Har- ris and Chuck Gray saved numerous fly-aways as out- fielders. Mike Waits did the same from two positions, as the outfielder, and the catcher, along with Fred Rohrbach. Mike Allen, Ricky Bryan, and Denis Devlin filled out first and second bases, and got their hands on the always ex- citing double plays. The Blue Devil Varsity Team played a total of 25 games, and their highest scoring game was in the Gwinnett County Round Robin Baseball Tournament at Brookwood. The score was 22-0 in favor of the Blue Devils, of course! According to the Spectrarama survey of the Varsity Baseball team, every player thought that the team had spirit, which is one of the most important factors in the team's success. Each varsity player had at least two years of experience, and some have had up to eleven years. The majority of them wanted to go ahead and play baseball as mere recreation. They certainly have solid backgrounds from playing on such a winning team. Although most of the members said they do get nervous before a game, they agree that, it goes with the game. Besides, everyone has some type of inspirational dependent. It ranges from good luck charms, to their favorite socks, to a lake in the woods, to a girl friend. In the category of who got them interested in baseball, most answered with their fathers. Baseball is a traditional event in America. The rebirth of each spring is not just the same without all the little league and major league baseball spirit. Similarly, we hope that the forthcoming Norcross baseball teams are just as successful as the 1982's. They have set the pace and let it become a tradition. For the 1982 B-Team Baseball players and Coach Fan- non, mother nature was the toughest opponent. It seems that she did not time the spring showers very well. lContinued on page 73j 1 - The players take time out for a break. 2 - Scotty puts in an effort in his pitching. 3 - The team gathers to listen to Coach Sey explain the game's plan of attack. 4 - 1982's 9th grade team. 5 - Blue Devil 1st baseman, Mike Allen makes a good catch. 6 - 1982 B-Team Baseball Team. 7 - The whole team watches as 315 swings a terrific hit. iagainlj 8 - An expression of determination. 71
