W. rs .FW and managed to put runs on the board, 23-3. Stars of the game were Charles Greef, who contributed three hits and drove in eight, standby Adam Lesberg fborrowed from the lacrosse teamj played a con- sistent game behind the plate while contributing two hits to the offensive. Misha loukowsky, whose incredible leaping, backhand stab a la Craig Nettles, won him the award for best fielding play of the game. Barret Lester played his finest game as he lashed out a beautiful double, while Robert Buehler, Danny Rodriguez and centerfielder Neil Bader played very well. Hagen picked up his first victory as everybody played a fine overall game. The Unicorns enjoyed an excellent afternoon on 96th St. and Central Park. The first home game of the season pitted the eighth graders against Collegiate. Big righthander jimmy lacobs, who gave up an important confirmation practice to be there, pitched very well, even though his eighth grade teammates very much supported. Seven earned runs crossed the pate as the Unicorns did not even get to second base. After putting down the orange and white, 1, 2, 3, in the third, A-S started to roll with clutch base hits from M. loukowsky, Lesberg, Green, Rodriguez and a steady eye from Bader. Though two runs crossed the plate the Unicorns still trailed by five. Scoring their eighth unearned run in sixth, the game was out of reach as A-S came close only to come up empty handed 8-6, The spring baseball season will not go down in history as a championship or excellent season, but it will go down as a preparation for some baseball teams in the future. Sophomores M. loukowsky and Hagen should be major factors, as these two were the only sixth graders ever to start on the Varsity. 64 VARSITY BASEBALL - back row: Mr. Landis, lacobs, Rodriguez, Lester, Lofas, Vogelstein, Mr. Wojo, middle row: N.

BASEBALL S URPRISINGLY enough, the Varsity Baseball team enjoyed a fine season, creating problems for over-rated opponents. Because of the lack of ninth graders fonly threej, the talent was made up by underclassmen, who made up the bulk of the team. Coaches Landis and Wojochiechowski - Wojo for short - looked forward to an entertaining season. The first contest was against Buckley, the Uni- corns' traditional rivals. Ace moundman Timi lou- kowsky pitched a strong game, allowing only 2 earned runs, but the A-S bats couldn't touch Buck- ley pitching, while falling apart in the field to make numerous errors. This game proved that batting practice ought to be included in each day's work- Out. The official season opener came at home against Trinity last year's League champions. Sparkling fiel- ding capped with a double play got starting pitcher Colin Hagen off the ropes in the first inning, but Trinity's southpaw also retired A-S batters through the first three innings. Two runs scored by Trinity in the fourth and fifth proved to be significant as time ran out. The baffled squad bowed in defeat 2-O. April 27, found the eigth grade again on foreign turf playing Browning. But this time they went home with their heads high. Apparently the oppos- ing pitcher didn't have very much stuff that day as everybody hit, stole, caught, walked, drove in runs,
