24 trong hitting was evident as seven players hit .300 or better. Dan Kochenash led the way with a .333 average and also showed his speed by stealing six bases for another team best. Power was provided by Jeff Kurtz, who rapped out three home runs, two triples, and 11 RBIs in the year, while also showing his prowess at the plate by drawing nine walks to tie Scott Sniscak in that column. Kurtz’s strength was shown in a 4-3 defeat of Northampton as his two-run blast in the third inning proved to be the margin of victory. Tony Gallina led the team in RBIs with 13, while Brad Rice, who had the second best batting average with .329, was the leader in hits with 23, including five doubles. In the pitching department Steve Prazenka had one of the top ERAs with 2.88. The junior southpaw had a fine game against Parkland, limiting the Trojans to just three hits, but came out on the losing end of that 3-0 pitcher’s duel. John Klobosits had the hurlers’ best record going 4-2 while also recording the team’s only save. Klobosits also led in strikeouts compiling 30, followed by his teammate Steve Scott who recorded 19. An attempted pick-off move is made by a Dieruff pitcher as Zephyr Steve Panik (24) races back to the bag. Whitehall beat the Huskies 7-6 with an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Zephyr pitcher Steve Scott starts his windup as Brad Rice stands ready at second base for the outcome of the pitch Scott, with a 1-0 record, had a 3.85 ERA and compiled 19 strikeouts for the team.
