With two games remaining, the baseball team
has come away from a mediocre beginning to bring
their record to 54. The team sco red an impressive
victory in their opener over Belmont Hill , 11 -2, as
Captain" leats" Colby went four for five. How–
ever rain washed out the next two game s and the
imputus of that first big win which S. P. . has
only recently been able to regain.
Dave Andrews hit a three-run homerun against
Tilton to snap a two game lo sing streak. Pitcher
Murray Sinclaire beat highly-ra ted Groton to
secure his fourth win , strikin g out thirteen along
the way. The hitters could on ly muster one run
against Governor Dummer, but this was enough
for so phomore Bill Craumer who posted the staff s
first shuto ut of th e year.
This is a team that ha trouble bunching hits
together for th e big rally, but if the pit chers can
keep the core close, some one will come up with
the clutch hit. This key player has often been
inclaire himself who together with Colby is
likely to end up with an average over 350. Juniors
Andrews, Rou lon-Miller Woodward , Dickinson
and Priestly have all contributed key hits. Defen–
sively, Dave Tandy , starting ca tcher for the last
three years, and shortstop Colby have given the
young pitcher and infielders the confidence they
need .
The team's comeback is due primarily to Coach
Mayer's endless patience . Hours of fielding drills
and bat t ing in truction are now paying off in
victories. Always getting the most out of his
players' talent , he has had them steal 31 bases in
nine gamt:s, and ha used the hit and run very
effective ly. Hi greatest success this year has been
his handling of the pitchers. Under his supervision
they have all develo ped good curves, enab ling
them to achieve what he calls a "good mix" of
pitc hes.
