BASEBALL :Quo After having two games with Kimball Union and New Hampton called because of wet grounds the Holderness baseball squad on May 1 finally opened its season by de feating Tilton JV 3 2 It proved many things about which everyone in school had his doubts Could Steve Knowlton pitch? Last year he was a catcher This year because of a lack of hurlers Steve was converted This game showed that Steve could pitch The school s three runs came in the fourth when Rusty Orton was hit for the second time by a pitched ball and Catcher Kuehner singled Steve Knowlton then came up and slammed the first ball pitched over the center fielder s head for a home run The second game was played on home ground but was lost to Brewster 10 8 Knowlton tried for his second win but many errors were committed behind him and ten hits were made Holderness scored Hrst in the last half of the opening frame Huntress walked Thayer flied out Lev erich singled but was forced out by Orton and Huntress scored on Kuehner s single In the second inning Holder ness after two men were out made five runs McKee and Huntress walked and Thayer singled driving in McKee When the right fielder lost the ball Thayer went to third and Huntress scored Leverich struck out but the catcher dropped the last strike and Dick was safe at first Orton doubled and on the throw in the third baseman missed the ball and Leverich and Orton scored In the Hfth inning Knowlton singled and went to second when Childs walked to third on I-Ioislngtons mheld out Huntress singled scormg Knowlton In the sixth innmg Orton hit a home run over the center fielder s head which ended the scormg for Holderness Next time we face Brewster we should beat them if we don t commit so many errors. All in all this year s baseball team should make a good record ggwwa' .af e'y' , ' if V T ' ' .. s' . if-I 'ff' , Q - I' ' NY- - -' - ,ws - - ab-eff , il! --3-if '
