Coach Norm Shepard got some good news yesterday when doctors examining shortstop Bilodeau's knee found that the junior infielder should be ready in 10 days to two weeks. Bilodeau had injured the knee sliding into home at Lynchburg...
McPherson will be on the mound today when the Huskies meet the Crimson at Kindlestick Park, and he'll have plenty of support. All-New England second baseman Neil McPhee (.347 last year) has moved over to fill in at shortstop; Paul Lombardi (.313), an outfielder last year takes over at second. With Captain Jim Keening (.306) at third, the Huskies should have the best-hitting infield around...
...pitcher can win without hitting, and there's some question whether del Rossi will get any today. Shortstop Tom Bilodeau, who should have been among the team's best hitters, hurt a knee sliding into home at Lynchburg--he'll be out for a while. So Jim Tobin, the best hitter on the squad at .348, will fill in for him and Bob St. George will play third, where Tobin might be otherwise. St. George had one hit during the tour...
Hanson was 24 and an ex-shortstop for the Los Angeles Angels when he decided he was in the wrong game, and with 500 borrowed dollars he set up shop designing peasant skirts, blouses and slacks in Balboa, Calif.

...Sargent was a nifty infielder all season, and the same goes for shortstop Tom Bilodeau (.271) and captain Tom Stephenson (.276) at first base. Somewhere in this group, however, Shepard has to find an outstanding hitter. Stephenson's average is the best of any returning regular, with the departure of Terry Bartolet (.346) and Gavin Gilmor (.319) removing last year's only two .300 hitters...
