13-Year-Old Team Wins Tonmey
Babe Ruth All-Stars In Loser’s Bracket
Herd Proved To Be Legion | |
Team's Most Consistent Hitter
Throughout his baseball career, Rick Hord has been
looked upon as a pitcher but this year he developed into
a pretty good stickman as well.
Combining both the high school and legion cam-
pAigns, Hord proved to be the most consistent of any hit
ter on the two squads.
In high school, he hit .364 and that was good enough
for only a third place rating on the team. The Mountain
eers, as you^ll recall, tore the cover o-If the old cowhide.
In legion play this summer, however, Hord took over
the team batting lead early and held it throughout the
year, finished the season with a .310 average, the
only fegular completing the season over the coveted .300
mark.:
^ Though his won-lost record might not show it, Hord
also came oh strong in the pitching department during
l^idn play.*^^Me posted a 4-5 record, but more importantly
^Q^ed a 2.3^ earned run average and won some key
^ames id the playofis.

-A Word About The Players
. Several other legion performers had an exact turn-
krduhd performance than in high school this spring. Let’s
Ibok >at every player and compare his legion pertonnance
tb his hikh schootl season:
RGfiBIE,MOORE.-hit only .081 in high school but
tite Juniors, finishing second only to Hord. lie
was <^ef the .300 mark until the last two games when
he went 0-for-9.
; KE^HPARKER.. .hit .445 in high school but dipped
to ^ioO in legibn play. Still, he shared the team home run
load wkh three and led the club in runs scored with 17
and Tt^ batted in with 17. He also led the club in the
pitchmg d^artment with a 4-2 record.
. ; ilARTSOE.. .batting average was about the
game, .246 Iri high school and .241 in legion. However, he
K tipp^ to a 3^ pitching mark in legion play after going
ndeteated (6-0) in high school. Still, he won two import
ant. nthes, forcing a fifth contest in both scries witli
Shetoy and Forest City. . ,
DAVID BOLIN... slipped to a batting mark of .227,
the lowest he’s hit since beginning his prep and legion
career. But he was one of the team leaders in runs sccr-
Ad With 13 and his ability to handle the pitchers and run
the team played a big part in the team's success. . .
TIM ECnOLS... hit .240 after a .265 year in high
Bohool. An early-season eye injury kept him out of action
tor several weeks. He was leading the team in hitting at
the time of the injury.
GRA^FTON WITHERS.. .his batting mark slipped to
.212 after a .397 mark in high school play. Was one of
the team leaders in runs scored with 14.
STEVE HICKS...did not play high school ball. Hit
.206 for the Juniors and was improving until an injury
forced him to leave the team in mid-season.
/
DARRELL VAN DYKE.. .saw only limited action in
high school but broke into the starting unit for the Jun
iors when Echols was injured. Hit only .172 but develop
ed into one of the team’s best defensive players and al
ways gave 100 percent.
WAYNE BRIDGES. ..hit . 155 after a .167 year in
high school. His ability to sacrifice helped the team in
tha piayoffs as he was usually a sure-fielder at third
base.
JIMMY FITTS...hit .231 in a reserve role in high
school but slipped to .044 as a part-time starter in legion
play. The experience he gained in legion should help him
r he next two seasons.
JOHN McGILL.. .did not play high.school ball. Didn't
enter into a decision in legion play but came on in relief
several timts to get the team out jr major jams. A 15-
year-old southpaw, he makes his opponents earn their
way on base and is similar to Rocky Goforth when he
was McGill's age.
