Hours: A Perfect Baseball Game On Monday, May 5th, our varsity baseball team defeated Cardinal Hayes 6- 0 behind a perfect game thrown by sophomore Liam Josephson. That's right - a perfect game. 21 Hayes hitters came to bat, but none of them ever reached first base. Liam was supported by his catcher Jesus Jaile who called a great game and had two hits. Sophomore Michael Maschi had a big two run double and Junior TJ Mangan added a home run to spark the offense. Congratulations to Liam, Jesus and the entire team. We are still researching the archives but believe this may well be the first perfect game at Fordham Prep since its founding in 1841. It is an extraordinary rarity at any level of baseball. We have 4 no hitters recorded in Fordham Prep May 27, 1922 - Fordham Prep 2 Xavier 0 The pitcher was Joe Harrington May 25, 1943 - Fordham Prep 15 Manhattan 0 The pitcher was Joe Daly `45 April 24, 1945 Jim Daly `47 pitched a no hitter against St. Ann's. May 4, 1948 - Fordham Prep 1 All Hallows 0 The pitcher was Sal Chiaramonte If the list is missing any Fordham Prep no hitters, please contact the Alumni Office by e-mail at alumnioffice@fordhamprep.org or by telephone at 718-367-7500 ext. 208 with the details.

Murphy Field Scoreboard Dedicated
The scoreboard was formally dedicated on Saturday, March 1, 2008 starting with a Mass in the Univeristy Church officiated by Fr. Boller. Under beautiful blue skies, Fr. Boller lead the group up to Murphy Field where the scoreboard was blessed and dedicated to the memory of Joe Allen `80 and to all the student athletes who will compete on the field for years to come. The afternoon culminated in an afternoon reception in the Hall of Honor. Joe's sister, Jennifer D'Auria thanked all in attendance and both Fordham University and Fordham Prep for helping her brother's spirit and name live on. "September 11th happened over 6 years ago, to know that Joe has not been forgotten and will be remembered for years to come means so much to me and my family." Continued... Class of 1984 Gearing Up for 2009 Not wanting to wait until their 25 year reunion in 2009, a group of eight alumni from the class of 1984 gathered at the Sunset Grille in White Plains, NY on April 10th to reconnect, reminisce and trade stories on what they've been doing the last 24 years. In attendance were John Balsamo, Chris DiMarco, Joe Rella, Mark Varrichio, Ernie Marrone, Ralph Ruggiero, Mike Burger and recently retired newlywed Dan Waldron. It could have been more as a couple of others could not make it or never responded to the invitation. The night was a success and the group plans on reconvening in the Summer or early Fall, and plan on making it an annual or semi-annual event. All agreed that more of their fellow classmates need to come, so if you are interested feel free to reach out to Larry Curran who will pass on the information to the appropriate people Continued...
