weren't alone. “We got contribu-
tions from everybody,” said
Ashworth. “We hit the ball up and
down the lineup.”
Right fielder J.J. Smith made it
to the second round of All-Stars
and Chuck Fehlinger hit over .400
as a third baseman/pitcher.
Ed Piekara, the only player not
returning next season, helped on
the mound and in the infield.
Catcher Rich Patton was one of
the team’s top clutch hitters and
second baseman D.J. Kapson hit
over .400.
Center fielder Paul Kapral was
- the fastest player on the team
despite being hampered by inju-
ries.
Jake Rambus was the team’s
starting left fielder and Matt
Barnhard and Randy Knappman
provided depth.
Jason Baker saw plenty of ac-
tion at first base and Chris Banks
and Chris Habrack shared the
catching chores with Patton.
Pitcher Josh Dukas missed the
team’s final playoff games after
being struck in the face by a line
- drive during batting practice Sun-
day. “That was real scary for all of
us,” said Ashworth. “It’s tough to
go out and play after someone
gets hurt like that.” :
Dukas and most of his team-
mates will be back next year and
that should be scary for Back
Mountain's opponents. “We've
got a lot of young, talented play-
ers,” explained Ashworth. “This
team will be real tough next year.”
