I went to a baseball game and a track meet broke out . . . Bonner's Joe McGilligan steps out between pitches as
someone flies past in the 400 intermediate hurdles.

The fans hang out on the hill behind Bonner's bench area.

Carroll coach Fran Murphy (right) uses a pair of backup catchers, John
Thomas (hand to face) and Pete Coppa, to give signs to starter Andrew
