Eliot's stampeding Mastodons had to come from behind yesterday to drop Kirkland, 8 to 4, and gain a first-place tie with Winthrop in the intramural baseball league. Meanwhile, Winthrop edged Leverett in softball, 5 to 2, with Puritan Frank Bixler hurling shutout ball after surviving a two-run first inning.
Kirkland's flashy new uniforms failed to stop a five-run Elephant uprising in the bottom half of the sixth, after Charly Senay's towering triple to right with the sacks full of Deacons had put them out in front, 4 to 3. Eliot's third hurler of the day, Bill Foster, jughandled his way to a decision over Kirkland's ace rightbander Sam Bush, shelling him from the mound personally with a two-run double in the explosive sixth.
