Green Edges Crimson, 7-6

A ninth-inning Crimson rally failed to overtake the Dartmouth nine yesterday as the Indians won 7 to 6, behind Ron Judson and four unearned runs.

Judson was occasionally wild, but tight in the clutch, and in the ninth he permitted the home team only one run after filling the bases with none away.

The Crimson took the lead in the last of the first on Tom Bergantino's homer to right, but the Indians tied it in the next frame when Dom Repetto walked in a run. Repetto got the lead back in the last half with a deep, two-run triple to left, but then was caught off base.

Dartmouth tied the score in the third on two tainted runs. John Otis walked to lead off. Fred Hildebrandt then hit a foul pop which Phil Haughey dropped. Given a life, Hildebrandt singled to left, sending Otis to second. Dave Marshall then hit a ground ball to George Harrington, but it went through his legs, scoring Otis. Hildebrandt then tallied while a double play executed Marshall and Dave Anderson.

Walt Stahura singled in a Crimson tally in the third for a 4-3 edge, and Harrington scored in the fourth, by a fielder's choice, a steal of second, a bad throw, and a wild pitch.

Dartmouth took its eventual lead in the sixth when the woodsmen batted around, knocking out McGinnis. A walk and an error by Bob Hastings set the stage for Ralph Manuel's home run to right, and a double steal that caught reliever Bob McGinnis napping scored the seventh run.

The win was Dartmouth's third straight in the league, and put the Crimson in a very weak position, as its two losses practically prevent it from over taking Yale or Dartmouth.

The bright spots in the game were four double plays in the infield, and the allaround play of Bergantino, who got three hits in all and was customarily adept in the field.
