150 lb. Eight Beats Tech, Cornell; Moe Berg Pitches One-Hit Game

Faces 27 Huskies; Varsity Wins, 3-0

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A neat drag bunt laid down the first-base line in the sixth inning was all that kept Captain Warren "Moe" Berg from an absolutely perfect performance Saturday afternoon, as the Crimson nine notched a 3 to 0 triumph over Northeastern.

Berg, who seems to like the warm weather, twirled his second shutout in four days, and was in superb form. Sixteen straight batters faced him and sat down before Husky left-fielder Hank Bartelloni bunted toward first. Berg made the play to Bob Slattery just a tick after Bartelloni had crossed the bag.

Two games in two days will close down the Harvard home baseball season today and tomorrow. This afternoon at 4 o'clock the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard nine will come to Soldiers Field to tackle the Crimson team.

Washburn Walks Five

Russ Washburn, slowball ace for Northeastern, gave up only five hits and his teammates played errorless ball, but he was quite wild, allowing seven walks. He managed to escape from two tight squeezes in the second and third innings, but in the sixth the Crimson grabbed their three runs.

Ned Fitzgibbons strolled to start off the inning, and galloped to third on a passed ball. Wally Flynn, passed purposely, stole second, and both he and Fitz came in on Slattery's single to left. Jay Gleason's single moved Slats around, and he scored on Berg's infield out.

Runs batted in--Slattery 2, Berg. Sacrifice hit--Heath. Stolen bases--Shields, Sorgi, Flynn, Gleason. Double play--Berg to Gleason to Slattery. Struck out by Berg, 6.--
