Cools Off CelticsAgainst Providence, a pair of juniors-to-By DAVE DYERJob insecurity is apparently a fact of life just about everywhere these days.Even on Stagg’s summer high school baseball team.That’s the conclusion to be drawn from the Chargers’ 7-3 Wednesday night triumph over a good Providence team. Although there were a couple of varsity lettermen who played well and should retain their starting positions, some other veterans may be in trouble.WITH THE ENTIRE varsity infield returning intact from the spring campaign, that seemed to be one area of stability.But it isn’t.be off the conference championship sophomore team looked most impressive as infield starters.Mike Zidek handled himself well both at the plate and in the field while filling in at second base, and Rich Baids was brilliant as a replacement at third.
