Binghamton North High School 1948 Yearbook (Binghamton, NY) - Full Access

Knocking the lid off the Southern Tier Conference baseball season, the "Big Red Indians," led by the fine hurling and hitting of Buck Roche, shackled the Or– ange Tornado of U.E. 4-0. Roche, pitching superbly, allowed only two hits while striking out ten and walk– ing one. Buck also led the team at the plate with three hits in three times at bat. Vince Garbarino garnered two triples in four tries, and Red Ferrell had two hits in three official trips to bat to help bring up the score. Held scoreless for the first seven innings, the North Diamond Men bunched in seven during the lost two frames to defeat Elmira Free Academy 7-3. Jerry Durkot and Buck Roche pitched six-hit ball while John Donnelly and Joe Giannetto led the hitting with two singles apiece, Donnelly having a home run. Behind the two-hit pitching of Buck Roche, the Indians continued on their winning way by defeating Central 2-0. Twirling beautifully Roche struck out twelve, walked none, and also scored one run to boost the cause.
