ity Ka e6 I ?oo tliill league Cham For only the third time in the history of the high school, South Pasadena's Varsity Baseball Team captured the League Title. For Coach C. Merrill Green this marked a clean sweep in his coaching year, a championship in both basketball and baseball. The Tigers came back strongly to take the title. After winning the first two games over Burbank and Burroughs, 7-'l and 8-'l, respectively, the horsehiders ran into some tough luck and dropped two contests, to Hoover 2-l, and Glendale 3-2. They defeated League leading Muir 9-3, and then started the second round by downing Burbank again 2-T. But Burroughs liked the Tigers 5-l, to put them in third place. Then they became a new team, full of hustle and playing as a good baseball team should. Hoover fell 4-2, Glendale 7-'l, and Muir 5-4. Then in the do or die play-oFf game with Glendale the Tigers came through with a 3-l vitcory to enter the CIF play-offs. The Tigers also placed second in the pre-season Pomona Tour- nament. Ken Brown, with his fine pitching, led the Tigers to their championship. Brooks Hughes also turned in some fine mound performances. The tigers boasted some fine hitters, Don Seavey and Dennis Walker both hitting over .400, and Jim Knerr, Dennis Mooney, and Mike Giddings clearing the .300 mark. Mooney proved to be the outstanding catcher in the league. The infield of Knerr, Seavey, Jim McDowell, and Giddings gave Brown and Hughes great support, while outfielders Pete Reynolds, Jack Ferron, Ken Kiesler, and Walker also caught anything they got their hands on. Coach C. Merrill Green and his ace pitcher, Ken Brown. Dennis Walker-Right tield. Only sophomore on squad, Led team in hitting in his first year on the Varsity with .424.
