B A S E B A L L ALLMWWAN The bases are loaded. It is the bottom of the ninth and the score is tied. The star batter steps up to the plate, taps the plate three times with his lucky bat. I-Ie readys himself for the pitcher's best shot. He swings the bat with all his might. CRACK! The ball soars over the fence through the sky like comet flying through space. lt is a homerun and the crowd cheers as the players strut into homebase. It is exciting moments like this, that have made high school baseball the all-American pas- time. The pastime at Overland is strong with record-breaking statistics. The junior varsity team finished the season with an ll-5 overall season record. The team won their last seven games, which was a school re- cord. We were fundamentally sound, in the later part of the season. Pitchers threw strikes and the players behind him played their defense well, said junior varsity coach Jeff Thompson. We lost to Hinkley and some other teams that we shouldnit have lost to. We went to Creek with nothing to lose, and came out with a win, that is what started our winning streak. said Soph. T.J. Kenne- dy who played on the junior var- sity team. Many tried out for the elite spots on the varsity team. Only thirteen spots were open for the best players in the school. The team played sixteen action- packed games. They completed the season with a 6-10 record. The sophomore team ended the season with 6-5-1 record. I believe that our team really im- proved over the season. Next year, I know we will do much better, said Soph. Jeremy Du- Pont who is a teammate on the sophomore team. Although they were just starting their high school base- ball career, the freshmen team finished with a 4-5-1 record. With the excitement of load- ed bases, tied scores, players giving their all, and baseballs flying through the sky like com- ets, the all-American pastime will live forever at Overland.

THE BIGGER THE racket the better the chance to hit the ball. That was the idea for Fr. Courtncay Goss as she was dwarfed by the size of her racket. WlTH AN OUTSTRETCHED arm, Sr. Cindy Galloway shows her power and concentraton. Cindy's aggressive serve and excellent playing ability helped her to be the 1641 single's player for four years.
