Eddie Kikla supplied

the power yesterday as Penn
State opened the 1960 baseball
season with a 6-1 win over
Gettysburg (0-3) at Beaver
Kikla, a strong-armed south
paw, displayed mid-August form
in freezing April weather and
struck out 13 Gettysburg batters
en route to his first victory of
the year.
Kochman collected two hits in
four trips, including a booming
two-run homer which cleared the
left center field fencc and made
his varsity debut a huge success.
The fleet Lion centerfielder,
who doubles as one Of Penn
State's best halfbacks during
football season, blasted his home
run off Gettysburg starter Dick
Hawkins in the seventh inning
to give State its final 6.1 mar
gin. ow
Gettysburg got its only run off
Kikla in the first inning, but aft
er that the Lion junior was •in
complete control giving up just
eight scattered hits and walking
none.

With Ken Fruchter on first, left
fielder Gordie Kissner and sec
ond-baseman Jeff Kahler banged
successive singles to score Fruch

lead.
Hawkins, a stylish lefty, made
the lead stand up until the
fourth when he hit a wild
streak which completely ruined
him.
After striking out Fegley, the
leadoff man, Hawkins walked

drilled one down the third base

Lefifielder John Phillips work

loaded the bases and Larry
Beighey and John Adams did
the same, sending two runs
across.
Kikla helped his own cause
with a two-run single before Haw
kins snuffed out the rally. The
Lions' other two runs came on
Kochman's homer with shortstop
Bob Hrobak on board.
With the exception of the
fourth, Hawkins pitched quite a
ball game too. He only gave up
four hits while striking out nine

The Penn State coaches, while
pleased with Kilda's strong open
ing day performance, felt that he
could do much better.
"Why his curve didn't even
wrinkle," said Bedenk. "He's not
as sharp as he could be, but he
pitched a good ball game." add

lar.
Switching the subject, Bedenk
was all smiles over Kochman's
home run. "When he hits it, it's
going to go out," Bedenk said
with a wink.
The Lions will be home again

header with Syracuse starting
at 1. Following Saturday's twin
bill, they move to Philadelphia
for a two-game road trip against
Villanova and Penn.
