Witness Winning Season From Varsity Baseball Team Sports action this year seemed to be marked by the fact that few teams lost players from ’64 graduation, and the Varsity Base- ball Team was no exception. Losing only two of their experienced boys, the team held positive hopes of bettering their ’64 record of 15 wins and 5 losses which earned them a third place in the Eastern District last year. Hitting and pitching were the team’s two strong points, with the pitching supplied by Ranny Blanchard, Tommy Butler, and Larry Ammons. The infield was made solid by Billy Mitchell, Vic Kitchen, Art Morgan, Marty Bonnett, and Larry Gore. The outfield found Stu Garrett, Don Horton, Lou Cartin, Jerry Stainback, and Ranny Blanchard grabbing down the long high ones, while the catching was in the capable hands of Don Griffith and Mike Carmean. With this line-up of tough ball players, Warwick couldn’t be stopped. Stu Garrett was relied on to make his usual great catches in centerfield, while Billy Mitchell as shortstop and Vic Kitchen at second base pulled Warwick out of a few jams with their quick- thinking, double plays. Nor were many players given the chance to steal base as Griffith’s eyes stayed peeled to the slightest move- ment. But then not many men made it to base to begin with thanks to Ranny Blanchard’s fast ball. On March 27 in the opening game of the season, the Farmers hosted Gloucester High School. The Farmer sluggers, coached by Jim Snow, used their hustle and experience to record another winning season for ’65 . . . coming out on top of all the Farmer teams. Marty Bonnett positions to field a hot grounder while Billy Mitchell backs him up. A winning season from the Varsity Baseball team: Row 1: Leonard Riddle, Arthur Morgan, Mike Carmean, Lou Cartin, Rene Pelletier, Larry Ammons, Tony Wood, Larry Gore, Vic Kitchen, and Billy Mitchell. Row 2: Harold Osborne, Clif Fink, Coach Snow, Wayne Odom, Don Griffith, Marty Bonnett, Tommy Butler, J. D. Stainback, Don Horton, and managers, David Williard and Frank Feagan.
