Players on Archbishop Carroll High's varsity and junior varsity baseball teams competed in the
First Annual Charity Bat-A-Thon on the varsity field on Saturday, May 13th.
  The team raised over $1,000.00 from pledges and donations.  All proceeds will be given to The
Mother’s Home in Darby, PA.  The Director is James J. Thomas.
  Junior CF Pete Coppa said, "It was a fun day. We had a great time competing against each other
and it was a neat experience to get to use our talents as baseball players to really make a difference.”
  Coppa added,  “We hope the donations help make it easier for the mothers to make a good start to
raising their families.  The team is looking forward to doing it again next year."
  Junior Pitcher/1B Kyle Baker wears the crown as the inaugural Bat-A-Thon Champion by earning a
total of 65 points in five rounds.  Baker hit four home runs and totaled 26 points in the final match-up
where he outlasted a surprise runner-up, freshman CF Nick Szalejko.  Szalejko tallied 38 points on
the day.  Senior Captain/SS Steve Brouwers scored the 2nd highest total with 40 points.
