The 1959 King School Varsity Baseball season proved a vast improvement from previous years. Under the guidance of Mr. Olson, the team won the Southern Connecticut Prep School Baseball Championship with a record of five victories and one defeat. Overall, the squad was 9-3, a complete turnabout from the 1958 campaign, which found the Kingsmen on the long end of an 'I-8 record. The championship team was paced by the outstanding batting of Captain Bob Stone and was built around o powerful batting attack and fine speed, which made up for an inadequate defense and erratic pitching. Jeff Teets, Allen Salvatore, Jimmy Cum- mings, Dick Anderson, Alan Mintz, Bob Rondano, John Teets and Todd Varnum were the other eight players. The King nine opened its season with a come-from-behind triumph over St. Luke's in a home game. The Saints broke o scoreless tie with two runs in the sixth inning, but the Kingsmen tallied five times in the bottom of that frame to win 5-2. JeFf Teets was the victorious pitcher, striking out ll, and allowing but one hit. The second King game was a road test against the defending League champions, Hamden Hall. ln this game Anderson hurled a brilliant no-hitter, downing the Hallmen 'll-0. The big right-hander fanned T3 and walked only one in a tremendous effort. Stone led the hitters with two singles, while Rondano blasted a home run. Daycroft provided the next opposition for the Maroon and White in another road
