It’s one way for the coach to raise extra funds for his baseball team, selling snacks to students during the ten-minute break. With five spring sports programs to fund on a tight high school athletic department budget, there is not enough money allocated to each team so coaches can develop their own wish list. Outfitting one player - taking into consideration bats, baseballs and other accessories the whole team might use T- .can run as high as $1,080 each. Multiply that by a team of 14 varsity players and two coaches and you have an expensive program that does not generate such revenues at the gate through ticket sales. Money comes from the coun ty and school athletic booster clubs. When it comes to outfitting base ball players, costs vary for pitchers, catchers or outfielders and infield ers. The most expensive uniform is worn by the catcher, who needs an estimated $176 more in protective gear (well worth the price tag) than the average player along with a special hinged-back mitt that costs $169.95 at wholesale. A Rawlings Pro Series 11” glove runs $149.95 for pitchers and other players. The basic Nike spike shoes cost $75.99 a pair for all players. The next time you see a foul ball carry out of play, lost in the woods, it represents $48.99 per dozen for the Diamond D-l Pro baseballs. This season, North Brunswick will wear new pinstripe uniforms that cost $109 a set. Multiply 'that by 14 players and two coaches and you get a bill for $1,764 for jerseys, subject to rips and tears from slid ing home for a score. They do not last forever. In a cou ple of years, it’ll be time for new uniforms and the cycle starts over again. Keeping players and teams North Brunswick catcher Carsen Scott and pitcher Brian Simmons display the new Scorpion pinstripe uniforms for this season. Total cost for outfitting a catcher can run to $1,084. ready for the big game takes more behind-the-scenes financial barter ing than the average fan may real ize. . It s all a part ot what a head coach and athletic director must do to keep players and teams looking their best. GAME RESULTS North 5, Lejeune 0 Johnston strikes out 14, allows two hits LELAND -- Sophomore pitcher Michael Johnston pitched a two-hitter and struck out 14 batters in a 5-0 shutout over visiting Lejeune last week for North Brunswick’s third-straight Coastal Plains 1A Conference win.

North took a 3-0 lead in the second inning and added runs in the third and fourth. Johnston also hit a double and drove in a run. Junior Clint Long scored twice and also had a RBI single.
