Baseball Team Bombs Brandeis, 14-0, Can Clinch Crown at Dartmouth Today

Brandeis dropped football three years ago. Its undergraduate athletes, showing an understanding of college tradition, dropped baseballs all over Soldiers' Field yesterday and handed the Harvard varsity a 14-0 Greater Boston League victory.

Junior right hander Kent Mitchell went all the way for Harvard, giving up just four hits and no walks. The game was called after seven innings on account of boredom.

The purple heart award for the day went to Brandeis right hander Larry Lessard, who pitched all seven innings despite yielding 11 hits, walking eight batters, and contributing three wild pitches. Lessard is listed on the roster as a shortstop; Jim Boyce, who is listed as a pitcher, played shortstop and turned in three errors on four chances.

Harvard broke it open with seven runs in the second, with Bilodeau, Bob St. George, and Patrick getting the rbi's. They added one in the third, two in the fourth and four more in the sixth.

Today the team travels to Hanover where Paul Del Rossi will attempt to wrap up Harvard's first Eastern League championship since 1957 by beating Dartmouth.

The Indians (4-2 in the league) are tied with Army for second place in back of the Crimson (7-0). Dartmouth and Army still have to play each other, while Harvard has only Yale left after today.

Ted Friel and Scott Creelman, two experienced pitchers, will spark an Indian team that tied for the league title last year but hasn't demonstrated much hitting strength this season.
