Besides the starting team, Dan Jessee's bench was loaded with fine substitutes, including switch-hitter Dave Roberts, Kev Logan, and Paul Russo. The team lost the opening two games to Yale and Rhode Island, but then went undefeated throughout the remainder of the season. Drabowsky lost a heartbreaker to Yale in the opener, pitching a three-hitter and losi.ng 2 to 1. The team succeeded in handing Springfield's ace pitcher his first loss in three years of varsity competition; also trampling over Wesleyan, Amherst, and Williams, among others. With most of the squad returning this season, and able help from some of the freshmen, hopes are high for another excellent season.

1955 FRESHMAN BASEBALL With a full schedule, the frosh fielders and beginner batters racked up a mediocre five and seven record. The team, coached by Bill Gerhold, was led by Captain Jack Thompson, a very able pitcher and short-stop. First baseman, Joe Urdzella was the Babe Ruth of the yearling squad. His was the highest batting average, and his long hits often developed into scores for the home team. Pitcher McIvor can be credited with over sixty percent of Trio's win column, and center fielder McGowan was the strong point in the outfield. Wins were chalked up over Choate and Loomis, while Trinity was beaten by our contemporaries in New Haven. Five of the remaining nine starters will be certain prospects for the 1956 baseball squad, and their experience as freshman ball players should pay off in this year's win column.
