The Pioneers finished their l98O campaign with a 26-8 record. The victory total was the most ever accumulated by a Post baseball team in our school's history. On the basis of this outstanding re- cord, the green and gold gained a berth in the NCAA Division ll Play- offs. ln the playoffs, the Pioneers beat next-door neighbors New York Tech, but lost to the University of New Haven in the finals. During the regular season, as well as in the post-season competition, Post's stand-outs continued to fare well on the diamond. Leading the way in hitting for our team was Neil Fal- cone, Joe Tarangelo, and Mark Cor- ky Baum. Heading the R.B.l. list was slugger Jamie Braverman, who also led the team in homeruns. On the mound, Vining's top choices were .lohn Kearns and Rick Cavellero.
