Swinging With The Times It ' s the All-American sport. That ' s why there was such a big turn-out. In fact, with so many kids on the field at the same time as sev- eral other teams, it was hard to find room to practice. Prac- tice was important for J.V. because it served as the varsi- ty ' s farm team. They started with a strong defense and good hitting but lacked in pitching. Coach Michael Vicino enjoyed watching the players im- prove as team effort grew. fronf: Terry Conklin, Jerry Garcia, Brian Mack, Wesley Adams, Row 2: Paul Vullo, Tim Morrisorx, Tom Cardona, Darin Merry, Jeff Thompson, Juan Molitor, Back: John Baertick, Mike McKnight, Doug Graham, Paul Miller, David Price, Gary Ger- basi.

Baseball ' s a Hit! Baseball started out a strong season by beating their toughest competition, last year ' s league champs, Baldwin Park, in a pre-season game. Most players would agree that their biggest asset was their defensive fielding. Coach Dean Karnoski felt he had a good team this year; they were young and enthu- siastic. Assistant coaches John Alexander and Greg Kuntz were a big help to the team. Team member Roger Iwig said, Greg Kuntz has more baseball knowledge than anyone else I know, and knows how to relate it to the players. Outstanding play- ers included seniors Joe Esco- bedo, Tim HoUey, Craig Van- denBossche, and juniors Tom Morrison, Tim Kaliher, Paul Duenas, and Jim Thurman. The disappointments in- cluded lack of student sup- port and not being able to play arch-rival Bonita. 1. As he watches the flight of the ball, Jim Thurman is ready to run 2.
