Kelly had a one-hitter going until the ninth inning, when he gave up three hits-and the lone run-to the bottom of the BYU batting order. He got himself out of the jam, though, by collecting one of his two strikeouts to end the game with the tying run at the plate...
...earned-run average (1.01), strikeouts (78), shutouts (4) and complete games (8). His approach is devastatingly simple: "I blow them down"-meaning he pitches fastballs 80% of the time.

Fastball artist Barry Malinowski came on in the fifth and struck out five before getting himself into a two-run jam in the seventh. Sophomore Sandy Weissent held Tufts in check in the final two frames...
