ISBwBaseball Unpredictable year This year's Junior Varsity baseball team played a hit and miss season. If they weren't being cancelled because of weather, they were probably cutting a game short on account of darkness. With a ten game schedule, they played five full games; this made the junior varsity sea- son seem very short. This team had an average year win- ning only three games and losing four. Their season could have been quite a bit different had they scored a couple more runs in some games. They lost three of Jeff Jones gets set for a ground ball. Jeff Ganaden holds the runner close. their four games by one or two runs. When they were playing a game, the team worked well together. If there was an error, the rest of the team would talk to the player and reassure him. With this attitude, they learned a lot more than just baseball, they learned to get along. Varsity teams of the future will be get- ting experienced players in more than one way. The teams at Ray-Pec will be balanced squads of baseball players and team members. VI km WW
