RIGHT — Slugger Joe Blaha belts another homerun BELOW — Matt Blaha swings full force at another fast ball. The 1984 Varsity Baseball Team was one of great talent and power. They were lead by Coach John Morvey, whose unpredictable style of play kept teams off balance all year. Captains Chris Pelletier, Jeff Pacansky and Mark Daskiewicz brought the team through a rough beginning with their talent and ex- perience. Ace Chris Pelletier took charge on the mound leading the Eagle’s Varsity to their first win. Mark Daskiewicz’s golden glove play and blazing fastball retired many opponents. Jeff Pacansky held down third base making levitating plays and getting crucial outs. The Blaha Brothers made it a family affair to drive in runs. Junior Joe Blaha, the team’s Homerun Leader was able to hit in runs the Eagles needed. Sophomore Matt Blaha played like a veteran, from getting basehits to tracking down long fly balls. The Eagles show a promise for next year with returning varsity members Bill O’Leary, Randy Wilson, Tom Mierzwiak, Bobby Bialoblocki and Jim Vellanti. The 1984 Season was one of learning and experimenting. When the 1985 Boys Varsity Baseball Team takes over next year, they just may bring home a banner. Boys Varsity Baseball 25

This group of girls joined together to become one of the finest teams in Middlesex County. The girls were led by Sophomore Bernadette Wykpisz. Her quickness and good glove saved many runs and kept the E.R.A.’s to a minimum. Pitchers Debbie Kelton, Karen Simonetti, Michelle Bialoblocki, and Diane Poretti also showed their pitching effort throughout the season. The outfield was patrolled by Kathy Hurley, Chris Cartwright, and Trish Radwanski who displayed great fielding. Sophomore signal caller was Karen Scupp who directed the infield. The girls gained a lot of ex- perience this season so they will be qualified to take over on varsity where many seniors left off. BACK — Coach Lori Feldman. Chris Cartwright. June O'Leary.
