Trojan Baseball - ' ' Led by the powerful bat of the most outstanding player Mark Sumwalt and the consistent hurling of pitchers Jeff Austin and Ronnie Hargett, the Trojan baseball team won the Eastern Division of Region III with an 8-1 record. The Trojans had a successful season as they captured the title at the first Annual Lancaster Invitation Baseball Tournament. where Jeff Austin was declared Most Valuable Player. Highlighting the season was a suspense-filled contest pit- ting the Trojans against the Rock Hill Bearcats. The out- come determined which team would meet Union inthe Reg- ion playoffs. Northwestern squeaked out on top by a score of 11-10. but their aspirations for a state championship were soon crushed by a strong Union team that eventually cap- tured the state title for itself. Despite this, the Trojans, under the guidance of coaches John Daurity and Ed Thompson, concluded the season with an exceedingly respectable 13-14 record and high hopes for the 1975 season.
