Page 4 THE PRAIRIE PRESS Nlontlay, April 16, 1956 Driscoll Baseball Team Succeeds Driscoll has been very successful in their last few baseball games. Against the Ray B Driscoll lost their first game five-four in the last of the seventh inning. This was a heart- breaking loss for the Rangers. David Bremer was the losing pitcher. In the return match, however, Driscoll fared much better. The final score was Rangers five, Ray three. The team played a lot better brand of ball and won by playing good heads- up ball all the way through. Jimmy McHorse was the winning pitcher for Driscoll and Joe Flood was the los- ing pitcher. The Rangers played Baker a prac- tic game April 4'th and came out very successfully. The Driscoll team bom- barded the two Baker pitchers with a bushel of hits. The final score was Driscoll 15-Baker 9. Raul Trevino led Driscoll in hitting with a home-run and a triple. Daniel Levya had a home run and Charles Noack had a triple with the bases loaded. David Bremer was the winning pitcher, he twirled six complete inn- ings. In the top of the seventh Lloyd Lester took over and did a very commendable job. Almost everyone on the team play- ed sometime during the game, It was Track Lettermen Announced Coach Richardson and his staff turned in the names of the 1956 track letterrnen.
