THE SPRINGFIELD SUNDAY REPUBLICAN, SPRINGFIELD, APRIL 21, 1957 SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE NINE SWAMPS BRIDEGPORT AT BERRY FIELD, 17 TO Maroons Register 10 Runs in Fifth Frame Terrific Hitting of Wilson, Bilik, Litchard in Big Inning and Pitching of Sullivan Feature Lopsided Game By VICTOR N. WALL A fat fifth frame that produced ten runs on some terrific hitting, poor Bridgeport pitching and solid hurling on the part of Bill Sullivan carried the Springfield College varsity nine to one of its softest triumphs in years at Elmer Berry Field yesterday afternoon. The Maroons won their fourth college contest, 'second in the North, by the lop-sided margin of 17 to 1 as acting coach Ed Steitz used 17 players after the regulars had salted away the game in the fifth session. Leading the with long larrups were Wayne Wilson, Ed Bilik and Bob Pritchard whose big bats boomed as the Maroons made merry in the home fifth at the expense of three visiting hurlers. Homer and Double Wilson whaled a home run, and the single came fifth.
double and single. Then homer Bilik banged a double and a single in this frame. Litchard laced two doubles in the same session to give him a perfect day of three doubles and ne single before he went to the showers. Wilson had three hits. So Bilik as this trio proved tremendous on the attack.
Wilson's homer went between the center and right fielders. Litchard fol-1 lowed with a smash that bounced over the right field wall for a ground-rule double. On the defensive side, young Sullivan pitched strong four-nit balls. Two of the hits were slightly tainted. The only real hits off his righthanded delivery were a single and a double.
The double. lone by Joe Bridgeport Candella, run in the sixth a inning. Sullivan fanned eight, including two pinchhitters close the game. He was slightly shaky on control with five walks but he worked with large a lead that he never had anything to worry about. The Maroons actually won the game in the first frame when they used back to back singles by Bilik and Litchard, with an error intervening, for two runs and a head start.
They added singles in the second and fourth before the big blitz in the fifth. In this inning the Maroons sent 15 men to the plate. They collected seven hits, two each, of course, by the thumping trio of Wilson, Bilik and Litchard. Helping out the home cause was some erratic pitching on the part of. Bridgeport hurlers that produced five bases on balls.
Altogether it was a field day for Springfield and the game no contest to the extent that Steitz was able to use practically every man on the Maroon roster. Indeed, he had run out of spares by the time the late innings had been reached. The box score: SPRINGFIELD ab Mendez, ci adbury, cf Heisler. Johnson, Wilson. D' Agostino, Billk.

A slim gathering of Easter St. Mary's Ready To Defend League Crown Coach Billy Bullens Has Five Regulars Back; Slate 4 Opens on 30th with Westfield High on June 10. Two Chances Likely Although Bullens lost only four regulars through graduation, he is, nevertheless, faced with the task of utilizing his veteran performers at the positions where they will best beenfit the team. Two important changes in positions are likely found in catching and first base. Last year, Mike Oakes did the bulk of the receiving while' Jimmy Shea was a fixture at the initial sack.
At the present outlook, however, it is likely that Oakes may be used as the team's number 1 hurler while Shea will be shifted to the outfield as the first base duties appear to be in the capable hands of newcomer Mickey McCartney. Such moves are still in a preliminary stage and are subject to change before the opening 'game. There is no doubt Bullens will loss of John Chaffee, top a year ago who also doubled in the outfield due to his hitting ability. Ken Poulin, hard hitting third sacker, will also be missed as will Jim O'Donnell, outfielder and Bobby Siska, capable keystone guardian. On hand from last year's pions will be Pete Kelley, a likely looking right hand hurler and Davt St.
Jean, sophom*ore southpaw. These two, and froshman Jack Gates will form the hurling staff with Oakes. Jack Daley, appears to be the catcher this year. McCartney will start at first and can also be used in the outer garden. At second base the battle appears to be between Billy Crean and Sullivan.
Fortunately' the, shortstop post is by veteran Jim Pratt who has formed the backbone of the Infield for the past three seasons. Pratt, in addition to beinra good defensive player, is hitter for his size, Freshman Bill Hibert is outstanding at the "hot" corner. In the outfield, Phil O'Don-1 nell been moved from his rightfield berth to left. field while Shea is slated to handle the center field post. The rightfield job is a tossup between Sullivan, Kelley, Oakes and.
St. Jean when they are not being used in other positions. Bullens also has several freshmen who may develop. Following the opener, April 30 with Huntington, the St. Mary's will travel to South Hadley on May 3.
The balance of the slate follows: May 9, South Hadley home; 14, Holyoke Trade; 20, at Chicopee Trade: 22, Holyoke Trade; 24, Westfield Trade; Huntington; June 3, at Westfield Trade; 5, Westfield High; 6, Chic-1 opee Trade and 10 at Westfield High.

Hohol's first two free passes of the day were followed by a Bob Henderson single. but the Paper City pitcher tightened up and permitted no more scoring.
