On This Date: (May 12, 1959)

May 12, 1959 — John Breslin pitches a two-hitter and Leo Lenick has a big day at the plate to help Marian earn a 13-5 victory over Shenandoah Catholic. Breslin strikes out 11, including the side in both the third and fourth innings. Lenick leads a 14-hit attack by finishing 4-for-5 and scoring two runs. Two of the hits go for doubles. The Colts, coached by Hugh “Wink” Gallagher, also receive three hits — one a two-run homer — off the bat of Tom Niadna. Breslin helps his own cause with a pair of hits and a run, while Dennis Gildea chips in with a double and a run.
