One of the two wins was over McKeesport. This was the first time in the history of Spartan baseball that Mclieesport has been beaten on the diamond. The other victory was over Duquesne. Perhaps one of the most noticeable things about this year's baseball team was the lack of iunior and MANAGERS: John Beatty, Jim Kovic, Jim Means senior players. Only four senior players, Paul Kelly, Matt Giordanengo, Jim Schwille, and George Preco- pia, started the majority of games. On the pitching staff there was only one senior, Bob Niccolai, and the only iunior was Steve McFall. Most of the '67 starting line-up will return next year. Under the able tutelage of Coach John Forsyth, next year should prove to be successful in the win col- umn.
