Johnson Satow Baseball The Modesto Junior College baseball team played four conference games during a short season, losing all of them. The team lost to San Mateo by one point, twice. The Bulldogs later annexed the championship by defeating Sacramento on the Modesto diamond. The squad was coached by Marion McCart and captained by Arendt Rohde. SAN MATEO - MODESTO Modesto tangled with San Mateo in the initial encounter of the season. The peninsular squad won the game by an 8 to 7 score. Although Johnson and Moore allowed but seven hits and Modesto tallied eleven off of the Bulldog heaver, errors on the part of the McCartlings helped in the runs for San Mateo. Trailing by three points at the start of the ninth inning, the Pirates staged a rally in their period at bat and came within one point of tying the score. With Bispo on third and no outs it looked as if the score were as good as tied, but the next two Blue and White batters fanned, the third one grounded out, and Modesto ' s chance was gone. Bispo played a good game behind the bat. Johnson started on the mound but was a bit unsteady and was relieved by Moore who went in and pitched good ball.
