...poor fielding and weak pitching, has been quite erratic this season. In one game it committed seven errors while losing 17-0. Yet, on occasion, the Big Red's big bats rescue the team from its defensive lapses. Second baseman Rick Dooley, shortstop Tony DeLaurentism and sophomore third sacker Bob Baker are all potent troublemakers...
...Shepard will probably call on senior Dick Garibaldi (5-1 last year and 1-0 to date) to start in the team's seventh contest. Dick Diehl will be behind the plate, and Tom Stephenson will do the chores at first base. Rounding out the infield will be second-sacker Terry Bartolet, shortstop Tom Bilodeau, with Lee Sargeant in the hot corner...

What the Reds continue to lack is an outfielder to complement Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson, but they should be strong enough to sink the discombobulated Los Angeles Dodgers to fourth...

Regular first sacker Phil Bernstein, the team's clean-up hitter, has been having his problems for the past few weeks and injured his leg in the ill-fated Holy Cross expedition earlier this week.

Left fielder Curley Combs (.310) and first baseman Phil Bernstein (.327) made the biggest jumps, both gaining over 50 points during the weekend series...
