V mlm!! With but two returning lettermen, a po- tentially strong Milton Baseball Team faced the graduates on April 19th and easily set back the Old Guard, 17-2. A barrage of twenty hits throughout the game kept us in the lead the whole way, and Art Ward gained the first win of the season for the O8zB. Over-confidence and weak hitting caused Milton's first loss of the season to Brooks. Two errors and a few timely hits gave the opponents an early lead, and not until the third inning did Milton rally for three runs. Captain Win Sargent and Conrad Nobili both connected for doubles, but Brooks took the long end of an 11-3 count. The following Saturday, Morgan Palmer of St. Mark's handed the home team a 6-5 defeat in eleven innings after the 081B were leading 5-3 in the ninth inning. Credit must be given to St. Markis for good clutch- hitting. On Nash field, Thayer Academy pushed out a 10-6 victory in a twelve inning, four hour game. Dave Sheehan pitched superb ball, and hit a triple to further his cause. Milton knocked two pitchers out of the box and pulled off two well-executed double plays that discouraged Thayer runs. How- ever, in the twelfth inning, Thayer took the lead. One week later, Artie Ward pitched a shutout for the second straight year to de- feat Roxbury Latin, 2-O. A rally in the third inning gave us two runs and our first league victory. At Groton, the visiting team defeated the Grotties in a very well-played game, 7-1. Darley Randall picked up his first win of the year. jim Perkins, Tony Bradley, Bill North, Mal Ticknor, Conrad Nobili hit with men on bases as Milton took an early lead, Captain Win Sargent hit a single with the bases loaded, and Groton never threatened once. Undefeated Belmont Hill continued to be undefeated, as the Hill-toppers trounced us, 11-0. Dave Sheehan got credit for the loss, but he received no support in hitting or fielding. Governor Dummer broke their two-year losing streak with Milton and gave Milton only three hits while winning 8-1. Nobili, Schwarz, and Sheehan were the only men to reach by hits. Three days later, Milton High School squeaked out a one run win with a score of 8-7. Spectacular catches of the High School out-fielders robbed us of probable extra base hits with men on bases. Middlesex's Captain Smith pitched a three-hit shutout against Art Ward's first appearance in a month due to his arm injury, and in the same week, Browne and Nichols got their first victory against a Milton Team that put on a weak showing and lost, 5-4. On Memorial Day, the Nobles Team turned away Milton 12-4 in the last game of the season. In the first inning, Nobles scored three runs and added one in the second, while Milton retailiated with two each in the fourth and fifth to tie up the score. Captain Win Sargent's triple scored two runs in the fourth frame. Two home runs and a three base error gave Nobles the commanding lead. Outstanding for Milton were Bradley and Sargent with two hits and a walk apiece, along with Schwarz, Farnham, North, Nobili, and Ticknor, all with hits. A word of praise must be given here for Nobles' Captain Dick Flood who pitched with a bad 'ringer injury. The season was obviously a poor one, with only three wins and nine losses. It must be remembered that five injuries to key players and inexperience were great handicaps. Next year, it will be a different story and we wish all the luck to Captain- elect Bill North. We are also deeply in- debted to Stokey for taking over the job of coaching and regret he received so little in the way of wins. 67
