The Caltech Baseball team hosted its 2005 Alumni Game this past Saturday, with many former Beavers returning to give their best efforts against this year's team.

After giving up two runs in the first, Freshman starting pitcher Shawn Surdyk settled down, shutting out the Alumni in his next four innings.

An RBI-triple by Senior Shortstop Jason Quimby tied the game in the third inning. He was immediately followed by Senior First Baseman Isaac Gremmer, who doubled him in. Caltech would score three runs in the inning.

In the bottom of the eighth, Caltech pounded in another five runs, most notably with a bases loaded two RBI single by Junior Catcher Tim Boyd.

The Alumni had their last chance in the top of the ninth, putting two men on base with two outs. But Junior Centerfielder Dan Soudek made an incredible catch to end the game. Final score: Caltech 9, Alumni 2.

Gremmer was the top player for the Beavers with three RBIs and pitching four shut-out innings of relief. Gremmer, who has won the Caltech Baseball Alumni Trophy in each of his three previous seasons, currently leads the team in RBIs with seven in five games.

2005 Season Preview
The Men's Baseball team returns several top playes from last season. Senior Isaac Gremmer was named the team MVP in 2004. Gremmer had a tremendous season last year, providing stability on the pitcher's mound, leading the team in wins, innings pitched and strikeouts, and at the plate, leading the team in home runs and RBIs. Junior Tim Boyd lead the team in batting average, slugging percentage and hits. Despite playing their "home" games on the road again due to construction at the Caltech campus, the team looks to continue the tradition of Intercollegiate Baseball at Caltech for over 87 years.
