..c 1 The 1951 edition of the Wagner baseball team compiled a highly creditable record, showing thirteen victories as against seven losses. After dropping seven of their first nine games, the Sea- hawks trounced St. John's, 7-3, at Dexter Park, L. l., which proved to be the turning point of the season, as they bounced back to win all of their remaining eleven contests. Keynoting this undefeated string of games was the superb pitching of Ziggy Wachsmuth and Don Finley, who 'ecorded earned run averages of 1.29 and 1.6, resuectively. This duo, bolstered by the ad- dition of Joe Russell, allowed an average of less than five hits per game, and limited the opposition to a .185 team batting average, Wachsmuth led the pitching staff with a record of 7-2, contributing im- portant wins over St. John's, N. Y. U., and Manhat- tan while setting the pace in s-trikeouts, complete games and innings pitched. Leading the squad in hitting with a .318 batting average was Al Frolander, who also stole the most bases, 11. Following closely was- Neil Leonard, who hit .31 1, stole seven bases, and had the highest slug- ging average, .431. Burt Helgeson led the team in homeruns and held down the first base position, while Don Silva captained the club from the hot corner. The con- sistent performance of Bob Weber, whose 15 R.B.l.'s was tops, and Lionel Rotelli around the key- stone strongly contributed toward Wagner's driving finish, while Sal Espos-ito's team play, and the capable handling ot the pitchers by Dan Natarelli LEFTY GEARHART Assistant Coach 116 also were instrumental in the Seahawks' diamond success last season. Highlights ot the campaign included a one- hitter against St. Peter's in the opening game, the tide-turning victory over St. John's in mid-season, as well as 2-1 and 1-O Conference triumphs over N. Y. U. and Manhattan. Entering the Metropolitan Baseball Conference for the first time, the Suttermen turned in a com- mendable job while consistently playing against top- notch competition. Finishing fourth in a loop composed of nine teams, the Wagner nine can look forward to another successful season, with only Don Silva, who has graduated, absent from the regulars. HERB SUTTER Coach

-2 qty! is With all of its meets scheduled away from home, the Seahawk track team did not enjoy a suc- cessful season in l95l. Entered in eleven meets, the Wagner cindermen were severely handicapped by the lack of practice facilities and, consequently, could record but one victory, and that over Jersey City Junior College. ln dual meets, the squad lost to Hofstra, Mont- clair, St. Peter's, and C. C. N. Y., and was defeated by Fairleigh-Dickinson and Brooklyn Poly in its only triangular event. George Kenyon, Chuck Rockefeller, George Scheitlin, and Ed Weinburg represented Wagner in the Seton Hall Relays at South Orange, New Jersey, while John Paven, Bill Oster, Scheitlin and Rocke- feller comprised the mile relay squad which com- peted in the Penn Relays at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. The Wagner tracksters finished fourth in the Greater New York Conference Track and Field championships at Kings Point, Long Island, but failed to place in the Metropolitan Small Colleges-' Meet or in the Middle Atlantic States Champion- ship Meet. ll8 The squad's leading scorers were George Ken- yon and Dick Wasrnund, closely followed by Captain Ted Lovington, the team's sole four-year man, and Bill Roehrich. Other members of the team were Marv Lepaw, Don Graves, Mal Tjorohom, Don Juliano, Jordan Davis, Fred Geils, Rolf Mielzarek, and Manager Jim Keller. TED LOVINGTON Captain
