The C.B.A. Varsity and J.V. baseball teams com­
pleted their highly successful 1977 season by
winning the C.N.Y.C.L. championship at their
respective levels.
The Varsity, under the guidance of first year
coach Pete Birmingham, rolled up an impres­
sive overall record of 17-6-1 while finishing
first in the Cities League. The Brothers were led
by five all-city players including outfielders
Steve Raschella (.378) and Dan Kelly (.326),
catcher Dennis Kelly, pitcher Mike Zamba (9-1,
0.64 Era), and team M.V.P. Pat Murphy who hit
.438 at first base and won five games as a
pitcher.
The Junior Varsity team won the C.N.Y.C.L. j.V.
title while compiling a 15-4 record under the
coaching of Jim Rommel. The Championship
was won dramatically on the final day of the
season when the Brothers scored five last­
inning runs to defeat Corcoran 6-5.
1977 could be the start of a bigger and better
baseball program at C.B.A. and for this con­
gratulations must go to the members of both
teams.
