A group of Powermen are leaving a field where they have just ended a baseball game. This is one of the many playing fields to which the players on the varsity baseball team travel. Today they have been victorious but after many practice sessions victory is a Worthy prize. Of course there will be days of defeat, but victory and defeat will soon be forgotten while the memory of enjoyment of participating in the great sport of America, baseball, will linger on and most scores will soon fade from memory. The team of 1956 has been a working unit for a year now, starting with fall tryouts. With the embryo of the squad to work with, Coach Burns quickly got down to earnest practice as soon as the dilatory winter weather permitted. From this nucleus came a starting nine. In the infield are found such players as Dennis McCarthy at second base, Richard Rossi at shortstop, and joe Flood at first base. Bob Benedetto and John Norbega played shortstop and third base respectively but both were injured during the year. Troisi, Murphy, Matassa and Burke alternate in the outfield. Foremost of the pitchers were Francis Con- nolly and Tom Orlando. Backing them up in the catcher's spot were Frank Muller and Ronnie Witteck. A few games into the season saw Dennis McCarthy be- come the leading hitter While Joe Flood played first base With a paucity of errors. With the good start that com- menced the season came the net result of a winning sea- son. it Was a profitable year and Mr. Burns looks for- ward to an extremely successful 1957 baseball season. 128 I, , J aim, .M yr. mf ljv 'MW VA M V. , M4 VARSITY BASEBALL fleft to rightj: Mr. Burns, P.
