Baseball (1972-1974)

Don G. Benedetti played catcher for the Dons baseball from 1972-1974, and moved to the Minor Leagues as a catcher from 1974-1975. Born in 1953, he batted left and threw right. 6' 1", 185 lbs.

Bill Downing, USF's outstanding senior shortstop, and Don Benedetti, a sophomore catcher who is sure to be one receiver behind the plate for the Dons for the next three seasons, provided the main thrust for the Dons 3 run outbursts in the first and second innings of the contest.

Pepperdine in the first inning of the second game was insurmountable, as the Dons dropped the second game 7 to 2. USF's runs were scored in the second on a double by Don Benedetti and a single by Tad Tassone. Tassone led all hits in the series, going 9 for 13. This weekend the Dons travel to Reno for a three game series against U of Nevada (TheFoghorn).
