Country Squire. Intersections Rt. 120 ft 4f • Greysleke Your hosts, OIN S Kris Oe»as Cunningham just makes contact How many times did you hear your little league coach tell you not to try to kiU the ball, but just make contact? One would have to believe Warrior baseball player Steve Cunningham was a good student way back in his little league days. It was because he learned good that Cunningham ended up being the hero in a 7h6 win over Dundee-Crown- last Monday. Facing the Chargers ace pitcher, Todd Mitter, Cun­ ningham just made contact. His blooper into rightfield scored Kevin Moore from third base for the Winning run. "I was pretty relaxed," said the junior infielder. "I was just thinking to get a piece of it. He threw a fastball and I just hit it." "I saw it going over the second baseman's head into rightfield. But the rightfielder had a chance to throw me out." Although Mitter has a good fastball, that doesn't bother Cunningham. "I look for somebody who can throw pretty hard. I felt pretty confident when I went up there the last time." Although only batting .214 in the Fox Valley Conference and .250 in non-conference games, he has been platooned at second base for most of the season. It was only recently, with the emergence of Cunningham's good contact hitting, that McHenry coach Brian Wilson started Cunningham at short­ stop. "He's a contact hitter," said Wilson. "I did have him backing up at second base, but I decided to start him at shortstop. He will be splitting duty there with Chris Vehring." Wilson also mentioned three important sacrifice hits he has come up with the last couple games. Cunningham said he has more confidence playing second base, but he is just glad to be playing in more games. Steve is the son of John and Elana Cunningham.
