Baseball Won ----- 6, Lost ----- 2, is a brief resume of the 1953 base- ball season as experienced by the Poseyville Posies. The baseball team in the fall season enjoyed their best record in history while competing in the Posey County High School League. The team had an overall record of 6 and 2 with one win coming over the County Champs, New Harmony. The Posies opened the season at Posey- ville with a devastating loss to the Wadesville Red Devils, 16 to 1. Then the Posies bounced back to defeat the Black and Gold Annas of Cynthiana 10-1. The next game was played at New Harmony and the Posies were defeated in a pitcher's battle, 2-1. This game was perhaps the most thrilling and best game played by Poseyville during the season. After the New Harmony defeat, the Posies rolled on to five consecutive victories. First to fall, Poseyville defeated Griffin, 7-1, at Griffin. Next came Wadesville 11-9, in a long, ragged, but hard fought ball game. Then the Posies rolled over Cynthiana, at Cynthiana, with the score 10-3. New Harmony was the next to taste defeat at the hands of Poseyville 6-5, to avenge an early season defeat inflicted upon Poseyville at New Harmony. The last game of the season was played at Poseyville when the Tornadoes of Griffin came to town to be the fifth straight victim of the Posies' on- slaught by a wild score of 13-10. ' The highlights of the season were: the tremendous hitting of veteran centerfielder, Dave Boren, who collected at least one hit in every game, to end the season with a remarkable 16 hits in 29 times at bat, for a percentage of .5525 the sterling play of the underclassmeng the strong-arm pitching of Jim Rutledge, who won 6 and lost 25 and Jim Zenthoefer, who proved his versatility by playing catcher, outfielder, first base, and relief pitcher. All these contributed greatly to a winning season. BATTIN G AVERAGE AB H Pct. AB H Pct.
