Drapcho Throttles
On 4 Hits for 7th
Breaking a 3-2. ballgame wide open with a five-run ex
plosion in the fifth inning, the Penn State baseballers went
on to defeat Lehigh University, 10-5, yesterday afternoon
at Beaver Field for their 12th straight win of the year.
Steady Ed Drapcho, the ace of the Lion pitching staff,
posted his seventh win in as many outings, walking none,
striking out nine and allowing;
only two runs on four hits in ;
eight innings.
Coach Joe Bedeni:, realizing
the game was safely in the Lion
camp, relieved his southpaw star
with righthander Ron Smith in'
the ninth.
It was Smith's first, appear
-anee of Ihe season and the :
young junior was not up to the i
occasion, allowing two runs on 1
cne hit—a double to left—in Vi J
of an inning. Fireman Lynn
Harbold finished off.
For the first four innings, Le
high looked as if it were going
to make a ballgame of it, battling
back from a 3-0 deficit to score 1
two runs in the fourth.
But. then came the fifth and;
•the deciding five-run Lion scor-j
ing parade which broke the backs'
of the until-then battling Engi-t
neers. This was a pattern similar!
to most of the Lion home wins—•
start slow and then ice the con-'
•test with a mid-game big inning.j
Bob Hoover opened the in
ning by working Lehigh starter
Doug Koch for a walk. After
Jim Loekerman flied out. Don
Stickler and Jack McMullen
also walked. Guy Tirabassi
scored Hoover with sacrifice
fly. the runners advancing.
With Ron Rainey at the plate.
Koch unleashed his third wild
pitch of the game and both run
ners scored when catcher Dick:
Boogstraten couldn’t lind the ball.!
Rainey hit a single to center;
and big Cal Emery, playing first;
base because of his hitting prow-i
css, homered to deep leftfield for;
the final Lion runs of the inning.;
With Drapcho pitching perfect l
ball—not a Lehigh man reached'
base—in the first three innings, '
the Lions took an early 3-0 lead,]
thanks to control trouble on,
Koch's part and shoddy Engineer
defensive play.
