Crusaders Defeat '53 Baseball Team, 10-7

The freshman baseball team stumbled to a 10 to 7 loss to Holy Cross yesterday at Soldiers Field. Crusader pitcher Dick Bodgan struck out 12 men and gave up five hits in the seven innings he pitched while his teammates gathered 13 hits off Steve Stamatopulos and Bob Ward. Bodgan was removed in the eighth because of wildness.

Three singles and a sacrifice netted Holy Cross two runs in the first inning, but the Crimson got them back in the second on singles by George Chase, Walt Greeley and two wild pitches. Harvard, paced by John Canepa's triple with two on, got three runs in the third but the Purple came back with three in the fourth, two in the fifth, and one in the sixth, seventh, and eighth to tuck away the game. Bodgan walked four in the seventh and three in the eighth, forcing in the final Crimson tallies.   ab  r  h  po  a  e Canepa, 2b  2  0  1  5  4  0 Smith, (C); cf  4  0  0  0  1  0 Collins, rf  3  1  0  1  0  0 Johnson, lf  4  0  1  2  0  1 Chase, 3b  4  2  2  1  2  1 Greeley, ss  3  2  1  7  3  1 O'Brien, 1b  2  0  0  2  1  0 Wade, c  2  1  0  6  0  0 Stamatopulos, p  3  0  0  1  0  0 aVonderlage  1  0  0  0  0  0 bArnow  1  0  0  0  0  0 O'Conner, 1b  3  0  0  1  0  0 Hubbard, c  1  0  0  1  0  0 Ward, p  0  1  0  0  1  0   --  --  --  --  --  -- Totals  33  7  5  27  12  3 aBatted for Chase in 9th bBatted for Stamatopulos in 6th
