Girls Sports Continue To C-row Q New sports for girls are gaining momentum. Softball had a weak start but after only one year's experience showed marked improvement. Coach Summers was pleased at the amount of potential shown by her team. She attribut- ed this to the fact that many of her players were veterans of su- cessful city league teams. Cat- cher Patti Burke, '79 offered a few of the team's viewpoints. VISTA: What does the catcher do? PATTI: My responsibilities are catching whatever the pitchers. pitches. I also have to remember what batters hit. If a batter likes high pitches on the outside corner, I signal the pitcher where to pitch. I also have to tell the infield where to cut off certain plays, one of my hardest jobs is to keep the team's moral up. They are always looking to- wards me and my reactions rub off on them. I must keep my cool throughout the game. VISTA: What do you think the causes of your wins and defeats were? PATTI: Defense is the team's strongest side. We have a lot of great outfield catches and throws. The team had what it took but we had too many errors, and we played as individuals too much of the time. 1. V. Softball, CT. Rowl Coach Summers, S.
