Greco R Bankoskr R Lynch and Manager Frank Pascucclo BASEBALL 1958 Coach Frank Klein's Fighting Hawks of the squared diamond had a good 1958 baseball season despite a 4-8 record. The team literally drubbed the Connecticut Collegiate record books in their attempt to come up with a winning combination. Jack Repass, Hartford's second sacker, won the State Collegiate Batting Title hands down with a fine .463 average. Checkers Santiglia l.409l and Gene Rogers l.347l also placed in the state- wide top ten. Repass led the state in stolen bases with sixteen to his credit. The team as a whole finished in the number one slotin this department. Frank Deutsch, Hartford's pitcher-out- fielder, was individual high defensively with a commendable .949 average. He also was the recipient of the coveted Most Valuable Player award. Added pitching strength should round out a solid Hartford ball club in 1959. The team's only drawback in 1958 was the lack of a sturdy mound staff. Nineteen fifty-nine appears to be a banner year.
