Lions Clobber Pitt Nine, 20-5
Nittanies Extend Home
Streak to Sixth Straight
An effective relief performance by junior righthander Lynn
Harbold enabled the Lion baseball squad to bring its season card
to 9-4 yesterday at Beaver Field. The Nittanies doubled their hitting
output to clobber Pitt’s Panthers, 20-5, and win game number six
in as many starts on home grounds,
The Lions will go against the 1
under way at 2:30 p.m. Eddie
Drapcho (6-1) and Norm Van Ord
will probably be the Nittany bat
tery. Following today’s loss, Pitts
burgh is 5-7 for the season.
Harbold, taking the mound
with one down in the third, met
with little difficulty, holding Pitt
to three hits and setting down ten
Panthers in a row
The Lions, although collecting
only 10 base hits, put five of them
together in the third to come up
with 11 runs. The Nittanies start
ed off with one in the first, seven
more in the sixth, and number 20
in the eighth.
No Extra-base Hits I
The game went without a single
extra base blow, but rightfielder
Bob McMullen led the Nittanies
at the plate with a three-hit in
five-trip showing. Ron Weiden
hammer went two-for-four to
bring his average to a sparkling
.466 in 45 official trips. Lou
D’Orsaneo, going, behind the plate
in favor of Phil Saunders when
Harbold took to the hill in the
third, banged out two safeties in
four trys.
In the runs-scored column, cap
tain Charlie Russo gained the
day’s honors with four. McMullen
arid Rex Bradley crossed home
three times each, and Cookie Tira
bassi, Paul Palumbo, Harbold and
D’Orsaneo each scored a pair.
Three Runs-Baiird-In
Bradley, surefooted as they
come in leftfield, took RBI hon
ors with three, and Russo and
Tirabassi combined for eight
bases on balls. Five of those went
to Tirabassi, sophomore short
stop.
The Nittanies’ opening score
came after Russo walked, took
second on McMullen’s sacrifice,
and scored on Ken Kraft’s error
at second.
A walk and a base hit tied the
score at 1-1 in the Panther’s sec
ond. They went ahead on a four
run third inning outburst.
In the Lions’ third, Russo and
McMullen brought home the ba
con twice each, with the rest of
the Nittanies scoring one run
apiece.
The 11-run barrage came on
five hits, five free passes, a wild
pitch, two fielders’ choices and a
sacrifice.
Ron Moog, now with a 2-2 rec
ord, was relieved mid-way during

said that it was the best game
Locotos had played all year and
the same for Hamel, who he
pointed out could be the highest
scorer on the team if his play

He also said that Bell has
played tremendous ball, and add
ed, “Although he is an unortho

best of them.”
The Lions will be going into
today’s game with a 4-5 record.
The team has already surpassed

path for the Lions as he swept to
a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Tech’s Alan
