Catastrophic late-inning lapses had become a fatal habit with Coach Stahl's charges. But the picture changed yesterday when, behind Moe Berg's five-hit hurling, the Crimson struck early and hard for a six-run lead, and held the opposition to half that total for a 6 to 3 victory over the Fort Devens Recordation Center team at Soldiers Field...
