Where did it go? 142 arsity Baseball The Rams pulled quite a surprise in baseball. The Rams were given little chance of winning the championship, but under their Head Coach Harold Swartley, they hustled, played good ball, and gave the school its third championship for the year. Pennridge started off fast, and built up an early lead. Going into the last three games, they needed wins over North Penn and Central Bucks to clinch the crown. They lost to North Penn, and beat Central Bucks. This set the stage for the big game with Souderton. If the Rams won, they were champs, if they lost, they were tied for first place. They won easily, 6-0. It was the first championship since 1941.
