Cornell rocked Dom Repetto for three runs in the first on two walks, a double by captain Dick Shigekane, a single, and a sacrifice fly, but the Crimson retaliated for two without a hit. Tom Bergantino, Bob Cleary and Babe Simourian walked, and Bob Hastings came to the plate...
...popped up, and the infield fly rule was called, putting him out. The ball fell between the catcher and third baseman, and Bergantino ran for the plate, along-side the Cornell fielder, who didn't bother to tag him, thinking he could put him out by stepping on the plate. He was mistaken, and should have been charged with an error...
...last of the fifth was absurd, as inept Cornell moundsmen combined with the best Crimson hitting of the year. John Getch and Walt Stahura, each of whom had three hits, opened with singles. Phil Haughey popped to third, and Repetto struck out, but then Cornell pitcher Bob List walked Bergantino, Cleary and Simourian...
Phil Haughey singled off the third baseman's glove, and Repetto singled to left before Bergantino fanned. Nine runs, eight hits, one error...
...Crimson added some frosting to the cake, scoring two insurance runs on some heads-up base running in the sixth. Cleary laid down a perfect suicide squeeze bunt to score Haughey from third and Bergantino from second, which proved to be more than enough to send the partisan crowd home content.
