r Looking for their big chance All three groups hoped for a good finish to their seasons. After all the practicing, all the rainouts, all the close ones, and all the unexpected victories, both reserve and freshman had proved themselves suc- cessful. Unfortunately, the freshmen played only three of the eight games on their season schedule. It was unbelievable how many times we got rained out. Rescheduling the games was really diffi- cult too, commented Coach Mike Mazelin. The team won one of the games and put up a strong fight for the other two which were pretty close throughout. They really didn't get a chance to prove their capabilities, added Coach Mazelin. 3E READY FOR A STEAL! . . . Keeping an eye on his Howe jpponent, Steve Mescal! watches for signs of an attempt to steal :econd base. Reserve baseball players not only received the opportunity to prove themselves, but they even went so far as advancing to the finals of the City Tourna- ment. During the tournament, they lost a close one to Roncalli and won over Ritter after playing extra innings. The important thing to do is keep calm because those extra innings really get your adrenalin flow- ing, stated Coach Ott Hurrle. Out of the 12 games on their schedule, reserve players won six. Their biggest wins were against Brebeuf, Roncalli, Tech, and Washington High Schools. All of these prepared the team for the tour- ney. IT WAS HIS FAULT . . .

Making runs when sun shines A soggy season dampened spirits as well as the field sometimes, since 12 softball games were sched- uled but three were rained out. Metro Stadium was the home field for the girls. Since many players will be returning for the next season, they hope to build a better team and work on pitching. Pitching was our biggest problem, said Cyndi Carroll. We also made a lot of errors in some games. For only the second year, the softball team tried to get it all together, but they were still new and young. Two seniors, six juniors, six sophomores and four freshmen made up the group. At the season's end, the best mental attitude award went to senior Patty Murphy, and Sue Hutt was voted the most valuable player at the awards banquet. We should have had the Brebeuf game, but lost it 8-9 because of pitching — mainly walking too many players, said Cyndi Carroll. The Warren game was lost by a large margin because they were such good hitters, team members agreed. The game was called after the fifth inning because of the ten run rule. If a team has a ten run lead, the game may be halted at the end of the fifth inning. One of the best games was the Lawrence Central game. Ahead the whole game until the fifth inning, the girls almost had the opportunity to invoke the ten run rule in their favor, but Lawrence Central came back to get seven runs in that inning. Scecina was able to hold them there for two innings, to win the game 13-12. I guess we stopped making errors, commented one player. Howe had a team of excellent hitters, besting the Crusaders 10-32, another five-inning game. But they came back to win against Broad Ripple 16-6. Losses to Marshall, Attucks, and Chatard finished the season.
