Baseball Team completed its initial var- sity campaign with a 8-13 record. With everyone of the start- ing players returning for the '73 season, it is feasible that like the other varsity clubs in the school, the baseball team will improve over last year. Led by All-Raritan Valley Conference batterymen Tom Laudino and Ed McCoola, the varsity squad finished strong at the close of the 1972 season. Not only have the Bruins kept all members of last year's team, but they have acquired the services of infielder George Dente who should be an added boost to the team. Jim Palko held'down the shortstop position, and looks even better this year. Freshman Jim Howard won the first base job in '72, and he too is stronger in '73, Senior Mark Moulton will hold down the hot corner, with pitcher Ed Sullivan serving as a utility in- fielder. Tri-Captain Rick Dragon works in the outfield, along with Brian Mooney in center and either Tom Laudino or pitcher John Bennett in left, depending on whose turn it is to pitch.
