BU Freshman Nine Frolics, Crushes Crimson '52, 11-4

There is nothing unusual about the BU freshman baseball team which sloughed off the Yardlings, 11 to 4, yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field. Dozens of major leaguers are still playing ball at the age of 34.

Thirty-three-year-old second sacker Tom Lyons collected three of the Terriers' 13 hits, but he was overshadowed by two youthful outfielders, Wilde and Gayzagian, who drummed out three triples and two homers between them. First baseman Agganis and pitcher Moore each hit two singles.

Dusty Cook pitched for the Crimson, going the distance.

Hickey Triples

After the first ten freshmen had gone out in order, Bill Hickey hammered a triple into right field for the first of the Crimson's eight hits. Captain Jack Donelan singled him home.

The '52 nine collared its second run in the seventh, pulling up to within six runs of the Terriers. Tim Wise came in to replace Al Switzer at first and singled. Henry Young, in for Charlie Cabot at short, forced Wise at second, Cook singled, and Young scored as the BU shortstop bobbled Win Carduff's grounder.

Two final Crimson tallies came home on Charlie Walsh's line drive home run in the eighth. Ben Akillian, who had walked, scored ahead of the big catcher.

Cousin Dusty

BU showed affection for Cook's offerings as soon as it saw them. Wilde led off the top of the first inning with a long home run over Bob Thompson's head in right field. Agganis' single, Cook's error on Hurley's bounder, a line triple by Gayzagian, and Lyons' single produced three more runs before the Crimson could get the third man out.

After tallying once in the second, twice in the sixth, and once more in the seventh, the Terrier pups appropriated three last runs in the top of the ninth. With one out Agganis singled and scored on third baseman Hurley's single. Gayzagian added the final touch with a two run homer, his third extra base wallop, his fourth and fifth runs batted in for the day.
