Baseball Squad Wins Over Deerfield
Baseball weather is in the air, and the Maine West varsity squad is taking advantage of it with a 3-1-1 record.
Coach Al Carstens feels that if the pitching picks up and the errors diminish this team will be among the leaders. This year's squad consists of 9 seniors, 16 juniors, and 1 sophomore. Positions seem to be pretty well filled, with the only question marks at second base and right field. Bob Zuccarini will cover third while Matt Serna will be at short. The toss up at second is between Bob Nelson and Rick Sandri. Nelson has the better defensive ability while Sandri has the hitting. Russ Kleisner will be at first, and Wayne Wishnew will catch. Glen Watson is the man in center, and Tim Playtek is in left. Right field is going to be between Bob Anderson and Ron Rausch.
This year's pitching staff could be the big plus in the Warrior's attack. Bud Doroskin, Rob Earhart, and Glenn Rollo should be just the right combination for a winning season.
