Inexperienced Pitching, Team Defense Foil Successful JV Tiger Nine Season

 Inconsistencies in pitching and team defense were the major obstacles to a successful JV baseball season, as forecasted earlier by head mentor Ronald Kishimoto.

 Farrington capitalized on mental and field errors by the Cubs late in the game and scored six Governor runs to break a 2-1 McKinley lead wide open. After a tight 2-2 deadlock, the Mick defense yielded three runs to a victorious Kaimuki nine.

 Lack of timely hits plagued the Cubs against Kalaheo and Kaiser. McKinley failed to tally in one-out, bases-loaded situations, accounting for both downfalls.

 Turning the tables, McKinley, after trailing 5-2, displayed their bunting and base running proficiencies to override Roosevelt. The Cubs scrambled for two runs to force
Kalani into overtime. The Micks treat soon ended as darkness called the game after eight innings, resulting in a draw.

 Seven Castle runs severed a 2-0 Mick lead to deal the Cubs their fifth loss. Numerous Kailua errors and Kelly Sur's outstanding pitching produced a season ending victory for McKinley, rounding out a 2-5-1 record.

 Six returning jayvees will form the foundation for a solid infield next year.

Progress Directs Tigers in Baseball Title Quest

 Progressive improvement keyed the Tigers' drive for a fruitful two rounds of competition and the baseball crown. 

 Four points were stressed by Head Coach Raynor Minami to strengthen the reality of such goals. Three essential components included conditioning, spirit, and knowledge. When taken together the trio supported the final aspect, a winning tradition.

 Individual veterans filled the Tigers' infield and has strong potential if they played well together. The outfield was fairly well set with seniors occupying two of the positions, while the pitchers and catchers looked forward to solid development and performances.

 Lack of experience as a team seemed to be the biggest question as it carried 12 underclassmen and only five seniors. The need for confidence followed the lack of experience, but Coach Minami believed his players had the ability and could overcome.

 Coach Minami also felt that the team would improve as the year work on, so success depended upon how well the players would develop and progress with each game.

 Steady improvement, if united with experience and confidence, would mold the team into a big winner in '76.
