Nine to Face Brown After Defeating B.U.

Evidently used to better stuff, the Crimson baseball forces showed that they had learned their lessons well after their 21-0 massacre by the Boston Red Sox, as the Stahlmen took BU into camp by a 4-2 count Saturday.

Outfielders Brooks Heath and Wally Flynn led the Harvard attack with three bingles apiece. Heath also contributed a run to the effort and single-handedly averted a possible BU rally in the eighth with a circus catch of an enemy clout to left.

Three singles accounted for Harvard's lone tally in the opening frame. Heath singled, moved to third on Ned Fitzgibbons' hit, and scored when Flynn reached. The Crimson's second marker came in the fifth after Forte walked, moved up into scoring position on Heath's second hit, a single to right, and came home on Gallagher's sacrifice.

Lucky Seventh

The lucky seventh saw a scoring jamboree with each club contributing two tallies to the festivities. BU drew blood in their half on a double, a sacrifice, and an overthrow by Fitzgibbons, Whalen scoring. As if that wasn't enough, the Boston boys pulled a tricky double steal after Glennon had drawn a pass from Jack Farley. Dillon scored on that to knot up the game at two-all.

Harvard, however, bounded back in the stretch half of the seventh, manufacturing two runs out of two singles, a bunt, and an error. Heath started things off with his final safety of the day, a line drive to left field. Gallagher reached on a perfect bunt down the first base path. After Heath was forced at third by Fitzgibons' attempted sacrifice Flynn came through with a sharp single to center field, scoring Gallagher. Flynn moved to second and Fitzgibbons to third on the throw-in. After fanning Slattery, Judge of BU let loose with a prodigious heave to the fence behind home plate and Fitzgibbons romped home to wind up the scoring for the day.

A total of 14 walks figured heavily against the Crimson in Friday's Sox rout. Among the many pitchers thrown into the fray in a vain attempt to stem the tide of Boson scoring, Jack Farley, victor over BU's Judge the following day; looked most effective.
