After dropping their first four games to Beech Grove, Perry Meridian, Lebanon, and Whiteland, the team came back strongly to annihilate Ritter 16-7. Losing their next three ballgames by scores of 4- 3, 4-2, and 6-4 a win became even harder to attain. Pike was next on the Plugs schedule and came out victorious which gave the team a 1-8 record. A double header with Northwest gave two more losses to the Plugs, but the next game with Brownsburg ended their losing streak, as they posted a 5-3 victory. Fol- lowing a loss to Zionsville, the Plugs played their best game of the year, and defeated the number one team in the l'T1Ol'e county, Franklin Central. Two heartbreakers to Plainfield and Moores- ville by scores of 10-9 and 5-4 ended reg- ular season play before the county. In the first round, Speedway drew Perry Meri- dan only to see a repeat performance of an earlier season loss. ln sectional play Speedway played a very strong Pike team in the first game and was defeated 14-1, which ended an unhappy season. 29 1 l S l 1 1 SHS Varsity Baseball Opp.
