It was revenge time vs Campo and the Dons came to play. Henry Souza (So) got the start and looked nervous at first, along with a large crowd of onlooking Dons fans, and issued a 4 pitch walk to start the game. That’s about where the nerves disappeared, and Henry and the Dons took charge. The next batter hit the…
To say that the JV Baseball Dons had good pitching this season would be a gross understatement. Many superlatives could be applied to describe the Dons pitching staff and the combined 1.201 team ERA: great, dominating, superb, awesome, exceptional, and so on. And yet, although Dons came tantalizingly close (one-hitter on a bunt!), a no-hitter has remained elusive – until…
The Varsity Dons travelled to Campolindo on Tuesday to take on their friends and foes in what always seems to be a hard fought, entertaining battle. Ethan Rowland (sr) was matched up on the mound against Colin Godfrey (Campo sr headed to Chapman) in a hard throwing battle. The Dons drew first blood in the 3rd, when Dante Montgomery (sr)…
Sitting pretty at a 14-1-2 record, and having started a new winning streak, the JV Dons were hosting their cross-town rivals, the Campolindo Cougars. Both teams swung the bats well, with quite a few hard-hit balls flying around, despite solid pitching on both sides. Conversely, both teams were hurt by sloppy defense, with 3 errors on each side. The…
April 23. A day in history when Shakespeare was born (1564) and died (1616), Weeghman Park (now Wrigley Field) hosted its first baseball game (1914), Hank Aaron hammered his first home run (1954), “New Coke” was introduced to the world (1985), and the Acalanes Freshman baseball team swept the College Park Falcons in convincing fashion (2022). The team won game…
On a windy afternoon at Souza Field, the JV baseball Dons hit on all cylinders, scoring 15 runs on offense and holding the Miramonte Matadors to just 3. The Dons’ pitching has been consistent, if not spectacular, this season. Mason Zirkel, Jake Boselli, and Jack Giorgianni combined to allow zero earned runs, while striking out 8 and walking just 1…
Last year when the Varsity Dons faced the Miramonte Matadors at Ken Souza field, they handed the ball to then freshman Henry Souza for his first Varsity start. Henry went 4 strong innings, giving up only 1 unearned run. On Tuesday, the Mats returned to Ken Souza field, and sophomore Henry improved on last year’s performance. Henry retired 9 of…
After a string of close games that were notable for great pitching and defense, and a paucity of base hits, the JV Dons got back to their early-season hard-hitting form on a cross-town visit to the Miramonte Matadors. This game was pretty much the opposite of the previous one, with both teams getting into double digits on base hits, and…
