On May 11, 2006 parents, players, and baseball alumni cheered on the Hitmen against Xavier High, and then gathered at sports bar Mudville 9 to honor former Stuy baseball coach Charles Sharkey. A great time was had by all!
Local coverage of some interest.
From The Villiager:
Now a new mound dilemma has erupted over the movable pitching mound being used for baseball on the new Pier 40 courtyard FieldTurf sports field. The mound was used last Thursday for a scrimmage between Stuyvesant and Xavier.
Because the field is multiuse for multiple sports there cannot be a permanent mound as it would limit the flexibility of the field’s use.
From New York Post:
Stuyvesant climbed a huge mountain yesterday, defeating Alfred E. Smith, 6-3, to move past the first-round in the PSAL playoffs for the first time since the late 1980’s.
The Hitmen (17-8-1, 10-4-1) took an early lead in the bottom of the first inning when pitcher Chris Beattie helped his own cause, driving in shortstop Jesse Tucker, who had tripled with two outs.
From Daily News:
As soon as he finished his swing yesterday, Peter Horn knew the ball was gone. "That's one of those great feelings," the Stuyvesant slugger said. "I smoked it. That's the first homer I've hit where I knew it was gone when I hit it.
"Horn's grand slam rallied the Peglegs from a three-run deficit in the bottom of the seventh, giving the Peglegs a 10-9 victory over Taft in the Monroe Tournament. It completed a 3-for-3 day for Horn.
