x Crossing home plate is Rich Wolff, breaking a fourth inning tie. Opposing catcher prepares the throw to second, after play at home is too late. This year's Freshman Baseball team shows some good potential as future Varsity players. Although their fielding could use some improvement, their spirit and determination keep the team going strong. We have been endowed with a balanced offensive attack which is essential to a successful season. The starting line-up consists of Bill Mizerak, play- ing first baseg Jeff Wenzel at secondg Steve Larkin, the hot corner at thirdg and the shortstop Jim Thompson. The outfield is covered by Col Campbell in leftg Mike Healy in centerg and jack Wolff in rightg catching is Bill Englehard. Also lending their support to the team are notable pitchers such as Al Szaroleta, Torn Dalton, and Rick Van Edsinger.
