Stahura Homer Paces 13-2 Win at B.U.

B.U.'s jazz bands did not materialize, only 20 cars instead of the promised 150 appeared, and worst of all for the Terriers, Don MacLeod, their highly touted pitcher, did show up. For in Saturday's game MacLeod was not bad; he was awful. The Crimson beat him 13 to 2 at Braves Field Saturday.

It was not that the visitors hit as well as expected. They made only six safeties. But MacLeod was generous to a fault. Though he had good stuff, he walked nine, hit three, unleashed a wild pitch, and fumbled a bunt. His catcher, Bill Formosi, got into the spirit by committing three passed balls. The rest of the infield was poor, too, making five errors.

In contrast, the Crimson played smoothly as it whipped the team figured to finish second to it in the Greater Boston League. Captain Ken Rossano allowed only four hits over the first seven innings, before tiring in the eighth and permitting two runs on four hits. Bob Kessler pitched a hitless ninth. The fielding was adequate, and if the team did not hit, MacLeod rendered slugging unnecessary.

The defending League champs jumped to an early lead on two runs in the first. With one out, Bob Cleary walked and went to second when John Simourian grounded out. Bob Hastings singled Cleary home, and then went to second on a wild pitch, scoring on Dick Fisher's single.

The Crimson scored in the third when Simourian walked, stole second, went to third on a passed ball and came in on Matt Botsford's squeeze bunt.

MacLeod went along adequately until the seventh, when he fell apart. He hit Stu Levine, walked Cleary, and fumbled Simourian's bunt to fill the bases. He then walked Bob Hastings and John Getch to force in two runs, and the game was effectively over two pitches later.

Walt Stahura swung and missed on the first pitch, and then leveled a drive just over the left field fence, 325 feet away. Terrier outfielder Len Dempsey jumped over the low picket fence, but couldn't get the blast.

Getch's double to center paced a four-run Crimson outburst in the eighth.

Rossano struck out three and walked three in his eight innings, and Kessler struck out two while passing none. MacLeod managed to strike out seven.First baseman JOHN SIMOURIAN slides into second on a third-inning steal. Terrier second baseman JACK MURPHY takes the throw, while DON COBLEIGH backs up.
