Young Team Receives eecleez' Experience :gin The only senior members of the team, Rudy Kramer, Hub Copp, and Rick Jones, ended their senior year playing Raider baseball. The Varsity Sluggers played through a dis- appointing 1967 baseball season. Practice began late and as a result, early performances of some key players were off. As the season wore on, play im- proved. lnexperience lthere were only three seniors on the squadl took its toll, though, and the team wound up with a record of three wins and seven defeats. Highlight of the season was the game against arch-rival Thurston. Junior Mike lVlcCoy pitched a tight four hit shutout. Thurston transfer, junior Rick Knock, scored on a double by teammate Doug Drapa- lski, junior, and the Raiders were victorious one to nothing. With a season of varsity play under their belts, the returning juniors, along with some star JV'ers, should see the '68 season's games on the high side of the scoreboard.
