The home runs were hit by Ken Dopp '70, Bert Gastorf '70, Joe Jung '70, and Keith Moranz '71. The pitching duties were shared by Bill Olsen '70, the starter, and Bill Besenhofer '71, who came in relief.

On the following Monday the Warriors were defeated by Maine South by a score of 4‑2. The Warriors were plagued by errors in this match. Ken Dopp started and Bill Olsen assumed the relief duties in the third inning.

The next day the diamondmen lost a 3‑2 thriller against Glenbrook North. Bert Gastorf pitched his best game of the season, yielding only one earned run. The Warriors were again victims of errors.

On Wednesday the diamondmen dropped their third straight game. They fell to Glenbrook South 9‑4 in spite of home runs by Ken Dopp and Dave Arnswald '71.

Besenhofer started without success, and then Olsen came in relief and didn't do much better. Dave Nelson '71 had more success, holding Glenbrook scoreless in the last two innings.

Although the schedule is busy, everyone concerned with the team is still upset about the Niles West dispute. If the reader hasn't heard yet, Jim Hansel­man ‘71 hit a ground ball to the second baseman. There were men on first and second at the time. The second baseman bobbled the ball but recovered and threw it to first. The umpire appeared to signal the runner safe, which would load the bases. Three pitches later the umpire informed Jim that he was out. The game is still in dispute.
