,lr W 9? ----- we 5,--.-, F-3 BASEBALL TRIVING to overcome a handicap imposed by dis- agreeable weather, the baseball team was somewhat doubt- ful as to the outcome of the season. Coach Grow, always optimistic, seemed to think that the season looked promis- ing with the return of six men of last year's team. Veteran players consisted of Captain Armellino, Stark, Boucher, O'Loughlin, Smith, G., and Lindenberger. Through the fine pitching of Stark, who collected ten strike-outs on his way to victory, the team started the sea- son by defeating Storm King, 12-8. N.Y.M.A. lost to St. Agnes in the second game of the year by a score of 3-0. St. Agnes held us to one hit, which was pounded out by Lucarelle. The following week we played Iona, and Stark again sent ten men down via the strike-out route. Iona scored eight runs in the first inning, which gave them an excel- lent start toward winning the game, 10-1. One can readily see, because Iona scored only two runs in the remaining six innings, that N.Y.M.A. played heads-up ball. The proof that Iona was a hard-hitting team may best be shown by the fact that one ball was hit well over four hundred feet. With a record of one win and two losses, N.Y.M.A. faced the freshman team of Stroudsburg State Teachers' College. Unlucky breaks and bad weather still trailed the cadets, so they reluctantly ended the game with the score 9-4 in favor of the visiting team. When Irving School faced N.Y.M.A. the following week, they found in us a worthy opponent. For seven inn- ings both teams were scoreless. On a perfect squeeze play in the last half of the eighth, N.Y.M.A. scored the winning run. The team then started to play real ball. They over- whelmed Admiral Billard 16-1, getting twenty hits to Billard's four. Six more days of practice gave the team that much needed confidence to win over Adelphi, 6-5. Considering that Adelphi had played twenty-five games to our six, we played a fine game. Then followed two weeks of scattered practice and rainy weather. Mount Saint Michael trimmed our unpre- pared team, 11-2. The final record for the year was four games won and four games lost-a good average in any man's league! Page One hundred seventy-five
