1986 Miracle Yearbook

Striving to Do Our Best T he baseball team entered the '86 baseball season with high expectations and with great enthusiasm. The team soon became frustrated because it lost several close games. The final record was 14-18-1. Despite the disappointments, every player strived to do his best. Danny Olinger was an excellent example. Danny led the team with a .341 batting average and was the MVP. Defensively, Norm Cox sparkled at shortstop, and he was voted "Best Defensive Player." The team lost five seniors after the '86 season' Norm Cox, Steve Cremean, Finny Rajchel, Roger Luttrel, and Chris Walter. Next year, with the rebuilding process coupled with the past's fine examples of players, our expectations will be reached. It will be a winning season.
