Irvin Hall, Canal
Street Firehouse
Win Mushball Tilts
In a game that was practically a
,wallk away until the last inning,
Irvin Hall eked out a 5 to 4 victory
over the Electric Diner squad for
their initial victory in the indepen
dent league of Intramural mush
ball last night. In the other sched
uled game, the Canal Street Fire
house squad won on a forfeit from
the Penn State Club.
Behind shut-out pitching by
Surkallo, the Diner squad had
things pretty much to themselves
throughout the first five innings
as they piled up a four-run lead.
Things* started to happen in the
sixth, as the Dormitory lads
found the range and knocked
across two runs.
Still nursing a two run lead the
Diner squad went into the last
inning, only to have the game
blasted from them as the Irvin
Hall squad led by their pitcher,
McNeely, pushed across three tal
lies.
