Terriers' Seven-Run Explosion in Second Chills Crimson's Summer Opener, 12 to 6

A seven run uprising in the second innings, having a basis of but four singles, gave Boston University its second straight win over the Crimson by a score of 12 to 6 in an abbreviated, seven-inning, contest Friday afternoon on Soldiers Field.

This defeat not only threw cold water on Vince Moravek's first start on the hill this year, but it allowed the Terriers to take a two to one edge in the series between the clubs. Although the men from across the river banged just twice as many runs as the Samborskimen, they were outhit 9 to 7.

Crimson Scores First

The Crimson wasted no time in breaking the ice, going one up in the first on Charlie Senseney's triple following Crawford Hubbell's walk. Then came the top of the second which made the rest of the afternoon's play superflous.

Moravek got himself into hot water right at the start by walking the first three batters. Bill Tighe's single propelled two runs across. Then Curtis and Nighosian singled, and after Tom Sullivan booted a grounder, Captain Charlie Espanet beat out a bunt. Espanet graciously ended the inning by getting caught stealing.

Moravek Drives in Another

While the Terriers were being held at bay in the third and fourth, the Crimson added one more to its total. With one out in the fourth, John Fiorentino singled, went to second on the first of Bill Harford's two singles, and scored on Moravek's solid hit to left.

In the fifth, B.U. scored twice when Bob Hatch and Bill Tighe both stole home. The score became 9 to 5 in the last half when Armen Essayen walked and went to second when Sullivan reached on an error. Hubbell's single to center sent Essayen home and when the Terrier infield persisted in relaying the ball to wrong bases, Sullivan came in and Hubbell went to second. He scored a minute later on Harford's hit.

The final Crimson tally came in the sixth on Moravek's lusty triple and Essayen's single.

Though Moravek blew hot and cold on the hill all afternoon, he was anything but erratic at the plate. His triple and single were probably the two hardest hit balls all day. Bill Harford's two hits, one of which drove in runs, partially atoned for his failure with the stick at New Haven.
