Basebal Place Fourth at Red Bud Baseball Battles Decline The season ended like it began, and there was very little variety in between. Beginning with a 1-5 loss to Marengo and closing with a 0 4 loss to Anna Jonesboro, the baseball Bulldogs had only six victories strung out through the season. The results of the Red Bud Tourney were typical of the season. Sparta placed fourth, suffering defeats by Red Bud 1-12 and by Steeleville 4-9. While no one made the first all- conference team, senior Mike Steen was named a second team outfielder and sophomore Jeff Amos, who had a .296 batting average, was picked as second team catcher.
