BASEBALL The ball cut the infield grass eluded the glove of the infielder and went its merry way to the outfield as two runs crossed the plate Of course this ns an old story but this time that ball was carrying with it the hopes of all of us' We had muffed a chance to compete in the State Championship play offs at Menasha lt all happened at Waukesha where the Panthers were doing a nice lob of dlsposing of Campbellsport after having won the .sectional meet at Borchert Field in Milwaukee by defeating Shorewood 3 to l on the first day and shutting out Menomlnee Falls 8 to O on the second day Wally Skora was the hero of the shut out The red hot Panther nine had disposed of both Rochester and East Troy in the District meet by shut out scores of 5 O and lO O respectively Whitey Schultz was the hero of the district play as he collected fave hits in two games Francis Milner had a big time also collecting a pair of home runs The Panthers opened the regular season s play by defeating Union Grove lO to 0 Everyone on the Club yoined in the parade of the bases ln their next encounter Wally Skora whiffed the ball past l8 Rochester batters to share honors with Norm Benedict who had shut out the Grovers The score against the Aggies was 13 to 4 And so the parade began and would perhaps have not been marred had it not been for an all wind at Mukwonago which started for the out field neatly to rest at the feet of the second base man The result of all this losing the ball was a l6 to l2 win for Muk wonago lour only defeat? Other scores were Wilmot 20 East Troy 4 and Wilmot l Norris O We had o record of 9 wins to 2 defeats and at the close of all play and a total of 99 runs to 33 for the opposition On two ocasions Milner hit a pair of home runs and the pitches of Benedict and Skora were baffling to the best of the opposing batters Lettermen on the team were as follows Captain Phil Brehm left field Captain elect Earl Hennessy first base Wally Skora shortstop Duck Brehm catcher Whitey Schultz third base Norm Marzahl second base Francis Milner center field Don Faber right field and Norm Benedict pitcher Perhaps the future will give us another chance to play in the State finals but until that time hats off to the Moundsmen of l95l' - I ,. . . . . . , . .
