The fine coaching of Mr. Mar- vin Borst, Head Coach, Mr. Albert Verdel, Pitching Coach and Mr. Howard Husker, Out- field Coach, proved effective in one of B.M.l.'s most successful Baseball Teams. The Little Army team started the season with a bang by beating Burlington High School IO-O. ln quick order Trenton Central H. S. 5-3, St. Benedict's Prep 6-O, Pennington School 4-2, and Admiral Farragut I3-I fell to the mighty B.M.l. sluggers. La ayette College Freshmen stopped B.M.l.'s 6 and O record in a close 4 to 2 game at the little army field. Bouncing back from their first defeat, B.M.l. clubbed Hamilton High School 7 to I. Again St. Bee's and Pen- nington Prep lost to the little soldiers 7-O and 2-O respectively. Valley Forge proved easy for the mighty army team rolling over it by a I5-I score. Hun School put B.M.I. into the losing column again by a meager I to 2 score. Roy Mallane did quite a bit of heavy hit- ting for the little army team. He hit 344, and had 2 homeruns. He was an outstanding in- fielder and did a lot for the team. When the Newark News and the Newark Star Ledger published their all state baseball team selections B.M.l. found three of its out- standing players on it, Lee Elia and Bill Evan- ko made Ist string, while Roy Hallane placed on the 3rd team. The last game of the season proved to bl the most spectacular game of the season. BiI Evanko, B.M.l.'s big right hander, shut ou the little navy 8 to O. This was the only no run no-hit game of the season. The fine pitching department of the littl soldiers was a great factor in their winnin season. The tremendous hurling of Bill Evar ko and Phil Heisler led B.M.l. to I2 and record. Bill Evanko had a record of 6 and I, h allowed 27 hits, I3 walks, struck out 81 an had a E.R.A. .O57. Bill had I no-hitter an I one-hitter. Phil Heisler had a record of 6 and I. l-l allowed I3 hits, I2 walks and struck out 5 and had an E.R.A. of .32. Phil had 3 om hitters during the season. The Batting department was led by Le Elia with an average of 640. He played I games, hit I6 out of 25 times, had 2 hon runs, 3 triples and 2 doubles. Lee was an e: cellent infielder and an outstanding all arou.r player. This was Coach Borst's I6th season wi the little army team. He has a fine record which many prep school coaches envy. He h l4O wins, 3 ties and 67 losses.
