Morris Redskins open season with Streator doubleheader
The Morris Redskins baseball team cancels the southern Illinois trip due to poor field conditions and instead opens with a 2 p.m. Saturday doubleheader at Streator. Coach Ken Shultz respects strong pitching and a tight infield as keys to possibly winning the Little Seven Conference in 1978. The roster features lettermen such as Callahan, Wenger, Prombo, Gordon, and others, with several players in reserve roles and a power-hitting lineup rebuilding after last season’s success.
