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.

Hampered by tough competition and lack of depth, the team mustered only one win during the regular season. The victim was Danbury Teachers College by a score of 4-3. Coach Eugene Sweeney's squad did, however, play numerous close games under overwhelming odds. Their loss to Bridgeport University was by but three points in the first encounter and by only one point in the return match. A loss to Danbury Teachers found the team only three points behind once again. The same margin existed in the Kings College game. Coach Sweeney anticipates a good 1959 season with a little luck. A few good prospects in line for starting berths on the team should add a great deal of depth. John Bronson, winner of the University Tennis Tournament held in the fall, will be needed strength along with Bernie Epstein who was the first man on the University of Connecticut tennis team not many years ago. ln this department the future looks bright.
