C-orman, Swathwood direct rookie baseball team Despite the sub-.500 season, the NHS baseball team was one of Northwest's strongest. Their 10-11 record belied their potential. Seven games were lost by one run and two games were lost by two runs. The diamondmen handed Marshall their only loss ofthe season. The varsity was led by seniors Mike Gorman, pitcher, and Mike Swathwood, catcher. Swathwood was named all-city catcher, and his .400 batting average paced the team. Gorman shared hurling hon- ors with Scott Collins, senior, and Paul Cummins, sophomore. Their season was even more surprising, considering Gorman and Swathwood were the only return- ing first string players. Seven posi- reserves or tions were filled by new team members. This inex- perience proved a stumbling block during some games, but the underclassmen learned valuable lessons towards next year.
