Optimism Dominates Season .There was so much optimism in the air before the season, that varsity baseball caoch, Art Acosta, stated, If everythingqfalls into place, I don't thin it's unrealistic to win the state championship. But first, on the loca level, the Sabers had to put away East league rivals, Sahuaro and Palo Verde. The varsity club was dominated by stron hitting and good, solid fielding. The only questionable aspect was pitching. Coach Acosta was confident that his hurlers, lim Grossman '78, Mark Lavigne '79, and Thad Fillman '79, would successfully do the job once they stepped on the pitcher's mound. Leading the offensive attack was senior slugger Ken Reinhart, who led the team in many batting areas. Other outstanding players included Doug Kindall 78, Steve Rumic '78, joe Gwozdz '78, and Ralph Alfano '79. In a conversation with VISTA, second baseman Doug Kindall talks about the season. VISTA: How did you prepare for the upcoming season? DOUG: Besides working hard in practice everyday, most of us played American Legion baseball together this past summer. VISTA: Did you have a preseason outlook? DOUG: Yes, I really thought that this would be Sabino's year in baseball. I had hoped our hard work over the last couple of years would pay off. 1.

VISTA: What go you started in America's Favorite Sport ? BRUCE: My first experience was when I played Little League. The coaches at a Sports Booster Club in my hometown started this- team and I decided to join. VISTA: What are some things that intrigue you about baseball? BRUCE: Hitting a baseball has been called the hardest thing in sport to do. I like this challenge and the work that it takes to be a good team. VISTA: How do you view the team's quality to other teams across the city? BRUCE: With talent like Dan Hicks, Fred Goffrier, Derek Cooke and Scott Mattingly, I feel we were one of the best teams in the city, although all our success was due to a total team effort. 1.
