One of rhe highlights of the year was David Buffen- barger ' s No-Hitter against rhe league- leading Beavercreek ream. It was one of those days when every pitch rhat David threw was rhe right one, and every fielder was in rhe righr place at the righr rime. Ir was a day when all the long hours of procrice paid off and if was a day that will be remembered by all the members of the team. At the end of the season Wildcat Tony Cooper was honored by being named ro play on rhe All-Srar Baseball ream which was quite an honor for Tony and for his team mates as well. ■ ■ i • 5PRINGFIELD CHRV5LER PLVfTlDUTH INC.
