...score indicates, Brandeis pitchers had along hard day on the mound. Particularly discouraged must have been the Judges' Boudreau, the first relief pitcher. He came in after five hitters, and left after 14; he allowed six hits, nine earned runs, three walks and failed to retire a single batter. Del Rossi gave up six hits and struck out five as he pocketed his sixth win of the year...

Where else could Pitcher Don Drysdale, who won 25 games last year for the Los Angeles Dodgers, give up six walks, 20 hits and 13 runs, hit one batter, throw a wild pitch, and lose two games in a row? Where else could the Mets split a two-game series with the World Champion New York Yankees, who, by the way, were playing .350 ball with 7 wins, 13 losses? Where indeed? At least, that was the consensus...
