On Saturday, April 26, the Trinity-Pawling community came together to rededicate the Mo Vaughn \u201986 Baseball Field. During the ceremony, the Class of 1964 and other community members were honored for their extraordinary generosity, making possible the construction of our state-of-the-art turf field, equipped with covered dugouts, bullpens, and most importantly, good drainage!<\/p>\n
Over 100 alumni, parents, students, and community members braved the threatening forecast, wind, and bouts of rain to celebrate Trinity-Pawling baseball, the only school in the Founders League with a turf field. While other games in the league were canceled due to poor field conditions, Trinity-Pawling faced Westminster despite a night and morning of heavy rain.<\/p>\n
Head of School Bill Taylor led the ceremony and ribbon cutting. Alumni speaker Tag Demment \u201964 was joined by Doug Ebert \u201964, Kim Foley \u201964, Dave Jollin \u201964, and Bill Kervan \u201964, who threw out the first pitch. Tag noted that, \u201cIn 1964, I hit, I think, my only home run at T-P. The event occurred because the line drive I hit into right center field rolled into a snowbank and could not be found as I rounded the bases. I would hope no such undeserving home run will ever be hit on this beautiful field!\u201d<\/p>\n
Though the Pride baseball team was overpowered by Westy\u2019s pitching and hot bats, they celebrated Senior Day following the game. This ceremony recognized the contributions of the graduating members of the team, and Head Coach Cody Doyle wished players success in their future endeavors, which include several members going on to play baseball in college.<\/p>\n
Following the game, a reception was held in the Class of 1964 Hall of Fame and Alumni Room in the Smith Field House and included a performance by the Trinity-Pawling Jazz Band. Thanks to everyone who joined in this historic celebration of generosity and brotherhood.\u00a0 View photos of the event here.<\/a><\/p>\n by Matt Soper<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Saturday, April 26, the Trinity-Pawling community came together to rededicate the Mo Vaughn \u201986 Baseball Field.
