Useful Terry Malott Proves To Be Bright Spot in Loss
Terry Malott shines as a versatile player in Ottawa Lawrence Junior region action. Despite a rough season for Lawrence catching, Malott leads with strong defense, bases thrown out runners, and two of seven team hits in the Ottawa game. He’s valued for multi position play and athletic versatility across football basketball and track, with baseball duties complemented by a budding field role and relays. Danny Jaimes shines on mound with a 1.78 ERA in five starts as Lawrence struggles defensively, while coach Ralph Freed's pitching staff carries a 3.07 team ERA despite high opponent scoring in late games.
