After a record of 14 and 7, the Hoffman Varsity Base- ball Team went on to win the 1973 Central Jersey Group I Championship. They won the title by defeating Keyport by a score of 1 to 0. The team was undefeated in Central Jersey Valley Conference play. Kneeling: J. Kotula, M. Kelly, J. McCarthy, R. Neumann, G. Bongiorno, G. Hubbs. Standing: J. Wurth, T.

R.BLOODGOOD The 1974 Hoffman Baseball team is expected to do as good as, if not better than, last year's squad. The bulk of the team is back with the exception of Thomas Szatkowski, who will be very hard to replace. With the help of the new pitching machine, this year's of- fense should be more potent. The stronger points of the team is the defense, especially in the pitching department. According to Mr. Bloodgood, the enthusiam during the tedi- ous workouts, shows the team is ready and willing to play. Even though foul weather has hindered outdoor practices, the team will be prepared to go out and pursue another title for H.H.S.! The Co-captains of the team are J. Szatkowski and B. Still- wagon. In all, the team can be summed up in one word, Dynamite , as Mr. Bloodgood explains it. R. Poulson B. Stillwagon K. Booker J. Szatkowski T. Diem G. Hubbs J. McCarthy M. Kelly J. Kotula R. Neuman G.
