Stark Injured ; Potsklan
To Play Against Bullets
Minus the services of their leading hitter, Don Stark, the Lion
base nailers will meet the Gettysburg Bullets at the New Beaver
Field diamond* 4 o’clock this afternoon.
Stark, who pulled a ligament in his leg in last Saturday s double
header, will be lost to the team for at least a week, said Coach Joe
Bedenk.
Johnny Potsklan, football end and co-captain, has joined the
baseball squad and will play in'
leftfleld in place of Stark.
Bedenk has nominated Ken
YoUrit, his only winning pitcher,
to take the mound today against
Gettysburg and bat again in the
clean-up position.
Yount defeated Georgetown in
the first game of Saturday’s
double-header and hit three
triples in the two games.
Bill Benyish, pitcher-outfielder,
will move into the first base posi
tion to give the Lions additional
left-handed hitting.
Ray “Whitey” Kurowski will
continue in his third base slot
with Eddie Sebastianelli still in
Kurowski’s old second base spot.
BERLETIC AT SHORT
Pete Berletic will probably start
at shortstop, although Hal Hack
man may see duty before the
game is over.
With Yount on the mound, it
will probably be Bill Holler be
hind the plate as his battery-mate.
Bill Davis will probably get the
nod from Coach Bedenk for the
centerfield position while Chuck
MacFarland will be roaming in
the rightfleld pasture
