CATCHING: Joe Wark, last year's captain and a superb defensive catcher, has graduated, and junior Vinnie Martelli inherits the spot. The squad's top all-around hitter a year ago. Martelli has spent time at designated hitter, first base and in the outfield the past two seasons, but his first love, and best position, is behind the plate...
While his ability as a receiver may be a shade below Wark's, Martelli's arm is nearly as strong, and there is no comparison at the plate. The Revere native came within five runs batted in of breaking Mike Stenhouse's single-season mark of 40 last year, hitting 336 and swatting four homers and a team-leading six triples. Behind Martelli is sophomore Kevin Lennon, a strong fielder but weak at bat, and hard-hitting freshman Mickey Maspons...
Sandwiched around the win over the Sox and Eddie Popowski, the Crimson dropped two decisions to the minor-leaguers. On Thursday, the Red Sox bombed the Crimson hurlers for 10 runs and Harvard's lone tally came on a Vinnie Martelli homer. Saturday, in a game played at Chain O'Lakes Park--where the Red Sox' parent club plays its home spring training games--the Red Sox prospects prevailed, 8-4, despite a long home run by normally light-hitting Harvard second baseman Gaylord Lyman...
...college games, which are the only ones the team keeps official stats for, catcher-outfielder Martelli (four-for-eight, six rbis), outfielder Bruce Weller (four-for-10), freshman infielder-outfielder Eliot Rivera (four-for-seven) and designated hitter Chicarello (three-for-eight, four rbis) led the Harvard batters. Freshman infielder Tony DiCesare had a home run in the second South Florida game...
Myers, now 7-1, had ended all hopes of a Crimson sweep with a superlative performance in the opener. He no-hit Harvard for the first six and two-thirds innings of the seven-inning game, losing that and the shutout when Vinnie Martelli tripled and scored on an error with two out in the seventh...
