Amherst College Athletics

A two-sport standout during his time at Northampton, Carl Pietrouchie was a two-year starter for the baseball team during the 1973 and 1974 seasons under head coach Bill Bearse and a starting guard on the basketball squad for Tony Terranova during the 1973-74 campaign.

A hard-hitting second baseman, Pietrouchie batted .500 during the 1974 season, earning team MVP honors and EPCC All-Conference accolades.

Pietrouchie, who was named to the EPCC All-Conference and All-Tournament teams following the 1973-74 basketball season, helped lead the Spartans to a 20-5 record, including a 3rd place finish in the EPCC tournament, with a 56-54 victory over Luzerne County Community College.

After receiving his liberal arts degree from Northampton, Pietrouchie went on to an extensive amateur sports playing and coaching career, which included being named to the Blue Mountain Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999.
