,of Q1 The Gold and Maroon Knights of San Miguel opened their baseball season last year with two practice games against Snyder Continuation School. Then, under the guidance of Coach Shanley, the team traveled to julian to play their first league game. Managing only five hits, the Knights wasted fine pitching by I. Huntington and lost, 9-4. The following week, the Knights traveled again-this time to Mountain Empire. Getting only five hits again, the Knight defense fell apart, and the Mountaineers triumphed , 7-4. This game saw the loss of third baseman, Bob Lynds, due to a wrenched knee. The next game was played against Rancho del Campo, on the Knights, home field. F. Fletcher carried the pitching chores for the Cold and Maroon, but the San Miguel batmen couldnit cope with the oppo- sition's curve ball. Rancho won 11-4. The following game was the Knights' only league victory of the season, a 7-6 upset of Ramona, on the 14th of May. YVith thc winning pitching of F. Fletcher, and the heavy hitting of Coutts, Barber and Helton, the Cold and Maroon won the extra-inning classic before a large home crowd. The climax was provided with H. Exharos, run-producing single in the bottom of the ninth inning. The next game that the Cold and Maroon played was with Brown Military Academy, again on the Knights, home field. Although the defense was good, the Knights left too many men on base, and didnit start hitting until the late innings-and then it was too late. Brown triumphed, 9-4. The last game of the season pitted San Miguel against Army and Navy, on the Cadets, home field in Carlsbad. Although the Knights made a close game of it for the first four innings, the Cadets broke it wide open in the fifth inning and won, 10-4. Due to the date that the annual must go to press, this year's baseball season has not been included. However, under the guidance of a new coach, Vernon Sanna, the Annual Staff hopes that the '58 edition of the San Miguel baseball team will enjoy a winning season.
