The Indians ' 1957 baseball season was one high- lighted by many rained-out games and a very tough schedule. Our fighting nine was pitted against very rigid conference competition for the most port, but pulled through in fine shape, compiling a record of 8 wins and 4 losses. Among the eight wins were those over South Bend Central, Michigan City, Riley, and LaPorte, all conference toughies last year Practices were scarce for the first couple of weeks due to wet grounds and rain, and necessitated practice sessions in the gym. But Coaches Turco and Bella did a fine job of whipping the team into shape for the first game. A fine pitching staff, including Tom Malinowski, Rick Hafron, Mike Boehm, and Sophomore Bob Dygulski, con- sistently hurled low hit games, and there was not one home run hit off our pitching staff in the entire season. Fine hitting also consistently won games for our Braves, especially that of the mainstays of the team, Tom Lower, Ernie Kolesiok, Ken Riemer, and Pete Gopczynski. Many of the Indians ' wins came from large scores rolled up, over the opposing team, but 3 of their 4 defeats were by two runs or less. Also the team as a whole had a comparatively high batting average, ranging in the 280 ' s. The B Team posted a 6-3 season. On a large scale, this baseball season can be con- sidered a success for all concerned, players, coaches, and even managers. But with quite a few members of last year ' s team graduating, the coaching staff will look forward to a rebuilding job this year. 8
