SOFTBALL

First row, holding bats [L-R]: Serafin, Barton!.
Second row: Kazal, Mahoney, Lambert, Motroka, Spezlalettl, Moyer, Yuraslts, Strausser [Asst. Coach].
Third row: Cnuhlnka, Washbum, Connelly, Goldberg, Houser, Kelly, Caswell, Hutchinson [Coach].

OUTLOOK
Softball is only in its third year at BSC but a steady
improvement has been shown. Two years ago the record
was 1-3. Coach Jan Hutchinson and her Huskies are now
aiming to improve on last year's 4-7 mark.
Hutchinson has about eight returning veterans among
her squad of seventeen. "With our returnees and new
talent, potentially we have the material for a good season.
Since we have all doubleheaders but one, everyone on the
squad should see action. Our returnees are strong and
quick, and we're looking forward to a good season. Poor
weather has hindered early practice sessions, making it
difficult to evaluate the players," she said.
Leading candidates for the starting line-up include:
pitcher - Sue Kelly; catcher - Chrissie Kazal; 1st base junior Sally Houser or sophomore Karen Caswell; 2nd
base - senior Jayne Yurasits or sophomore Ann Lambert;
shortstop - junior Carolyn Bartoni or freshman Deb
Chuhinka; 3rd base - sophomore Bert Spezialetti; outfield
- seniors Sandy Serafin and Donna Santa Maria and
sophomore Jeanette Mitroka.
Wilkes and Millersville are newcomers to the nineopponent schedule.

N.J., her college athletic career was
cut short in her freshman year at ESSC
when she suffered a severe leg injury.

teams moved up a division for state competition and placed
second the last two years.
