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…

The streaking Varsity Dons travelled to Marin County on Saturday to take on the highly ranked Tamalpais High School Red Tailed Hawks.

The JV Baseball Dons have been getting truly outstanding pitching this season, with a combined team ERA of 1.189, an astonishingly low number for any level of competition. And yet, Jack Giorgianni and the Dons team defense managed to lower that number on a breezy Saturday, playing a “home” game away from home in beautiful setting below the foot of Mt. Tamalpais…

Sometimes baseball can just be a strange game, and on Thursday it was for the Dons as they faced off in a non-stop rain affair against a good Pittsburgh team. The Dons handed the soggy ball to Benjy Braunstein, who came into the game having thrown 2 complete games in a row. We should have known we were in for…
The Dons Varsity Baseball team won a lopsided affair on Saturday 18-4 in a mercifully shortened 5 inning contest over St. Mary’s of Berkeley to get back into the Win column and improve their record to 9-5. The Dons pitchers have been inspired of late. After throwing 2 complete game shutouts last week, and losing a 2-0 battle against highly…
The JV Baseball Dons are enjoying a great season. The team is deep, and has benefited from consistently great pitching and defense, and had some solid offensive performance earlier in the season. More recently, Dons’ bats cooled off some, but they are still finding ways to win ballgames, although admittedly they’ve been relying on good baseball fortunes a bit much…
The Acalanes Freshman baseball team swept their doubleheader versus cross-town rival Miramonte High School, winning game 1 by a score of 8-2 and game 2 by a score of 11-1.
