1936 Cedrus Yearbook

Cedarville 5, Defiance 4 The members of the Cedarville baseball team travelled to Defiance with the knowledge that vic- tory would bring Cedarville its first trophy in the conference. Supporting the steady hurling of Gar- lough in a sensational style both in the field and at bat the tea mcame through and became Cham- pions of the Conference. Each outfielder made a spectacular catch, Gillespie's leaping catch, after a long run to deep center saving a sure home run, being the best. B. Wallace led the offense with a triple and double with men on the sacks. The Cedar Day game with Wilmington was washed out by a heavy downpour. BASEBALL, SPRING OF 1936 Cedarville 3, Wilberforce 2 In this first game of the season Cedarville's team showed that it has been strengthened greatly over last year. Garlough pitched a nice steady game and the whole team played steadily back of him. Because rain delayed the game it was limited to 7 innings. However 8 were necessary as the score was 2-2 at the end of the 7th. Cedarville 5, Defiance 0 Cedarville won its second victory of the season arid its first conference victory behind brilliant Pitching by Garlough, who registered his first shut- out since coming to Cedarville College.

Thompson started on the mound, received poor support and was succeeded by Garlough who was hit harder than usual. Prospects for a successful season in baseball are very bright. Last year's championship outfit loses only one regular by graduation—Christian—and many Freshmen with real ability have appeared to take his place. In fact the Freshman material is so good that it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that some of last year's regulars may lose their jobs, all in all there seems to be no reason why an even better season cannot be had this year. 1936 BASEBALL SQUAD First row: Foulk, Ford, Prescott, Sisson, Walker, Linton, Thompson, Thomas, Jackson.
