Baseball Squad Smothers Brown, 6-0

Ray Peters, Jim McCandlish, and Bob Lincoln combined on a three-hitter as the Harvard baseball team posted a 6-0 win over Brown at Providence Saturday. Except for Carter Lord's triple, the Crimson offense didn't explode, but bunched five hits for pairs of runs in the first, fifth and ninth innings.

With two outs in the first inning, Dan Hootstein got the ball rolling -- very slowly to shortstop -- and beat the throw to first. Lord then unloaded his blast off the left-center field fence and scored Harvard's second run when the Bruin third baseman threw the ball into the dirt after fielding Pete Karegeannes's grounder.

Sophomore John Emery got an infield single pinch hitting for Peters in the fifth inning and moved to second on a sacrifice by Phil Smith. Bill Cobb's popup fell for an error between the third baseman and the catcher, putting two men in scoring position on Hootstein's double over third.

The Crimson's two in the ninth put the game out of reach. Dick Manchester and Don Chiofaro, hitting for McCandlish, both walked. Smith moved them along with another sacrifice.
