Madison Sports
By JOHN 8CHAENMAN
A rub of error* and strong
opposing pitching took its toll
on Madison's Varsity Baseball
team as the Patriots dropped
four straight. Despite the
tosses Madison still had a win
ning record as of last week.
Eight errors managed to
upstage Tim Wilde's 4-ftiit pit
ching as West Henderson
defeated Madison 4-1. The
Patriots only managed one hit
a double by Andrew Anderson
Eleven errors, nine of them
in the fifth inning, turned a
close game into a 7-2 victory
by Sylva Webster over
Madison. Leading hitters for
Madison were Andrew Ander
son, Bobby Frisby, and David
Massey with two tuts apiece.
Lewis Taylor pitched a
3-hitter and four Madiaoa er
rors in key situations combin
ed to allow Henderson ville to
defeat the Patriots 5-1.
Several Junior Varisty
players gained experience in
the game. Freshman Tim
Clark, and sophomore hitters
like Tim Merrill and Steve
Fish, the Patriots will have a
team capable of winning the
Little MAC conference next
year.

show more interest in the
organization. However, in
stead of the usual six or seven

more persons who should
become involved," officials of

Slowly Franklin, vice presi

Betty Jane Ramsey,
treasurer ; and Barbara Jane
