Jack Chotta, who was in the starting lineup last year, usually throws in the starting pitch, with Schmeiler, Price, and Sierka as relief pitchers. The bases are well protected by Ron Redilla at first, Dick Royston at second, and Bill Vestal at third. Chuck Hannan is North AIlegheny's shortstop, and received excellent assistance from Ken Nagie in left field, Jack Schweiger in center field, and Bill Wappler in right field. The final position of catcher is filled by either Miller or Sutter. Dick Royston, Jack Chotta, Jack Schweiger, Bill Wappler, and Ron Redilla are the senior members of the team who were on the squad last year also. ' Due to the lack of long-ball hitters, the base- ball team relies mainly on speed. The defens- ive ability of the team can definitely be de- pended upon, as was shown by last year's record.
