ATHLETICS L to R: MacKay, Williams, Nash, A. Holland, Spofford, W Shepard. Baseball Last spring Coach Thurlow Pitts had an extra fine team. They won the H. C. S. S. A. League championship and were undefeated. This was the second time in three years that the baseball trophy had been won by Stoning- ton. The Rocketsv went into the State Base- ball Tournament for Mn and Sv schools. Before a huge crowd at Stonington last Mem- orial Day they defeated Pemetic High of Southwest Harbor 11-10, coming from behind in the last inning. The second tournament game was played with Shead Memorial High of Eastport at Ellsworth. After holding a 7-2 lead we lost finally 15-10. Our schedule was as follows: Q' denotes home gamesl May 4 Stonington 5, Blue Hill 1 10 'Stonington 16, Brooksville 14 13 Stonington 4, Penobscot 1 17 'Stonington 7, Penobscot 1 24 Stonington 10, Brooksville 5 30 'Stonington 11, Pemetic 10 Iune 2 Stonington 10, Eastport 15 By graduation we lost some fine players in Raymond Crozier, Erwyn Eaton, Richard Stanley, and Chester Carter. Last fall Wayne Ciomei played first, Sidney Cross shortstop, and Wayne SpoHord went into the outfield. We lost to the locals and Vinalhaven but had hopes for this spring as we still had our fine battery of Dick Nash and Randall VVelch. But Randall developed a bad sore arm this spring and could pitch less than 5 innings. We won 1 game, lost 5 in the League, finish- ing last. However, Norman Wood got some valuable experience pitching, and VVally Webb and Richard Spencer broke into the infield at the close of the season. We lose Dick Nash by graduation. He batted .471 this year and will be hard to re- place.
