Robbed of a shutout victory over Pennsylvania by a ninth inning grounder through Art Johns at second scoring Dick Field, Ed Ingalls showed the best form of the season in trimming the Quakers 4-1 Saturday afternoon at Soldiers Field.
Following Thursday's disappointing showing against Tufts, Coach Fred Mitchell inserted now punch in his line-up against the Quakers. Bob Gannett broke into the batting order, playing right field with Jim Sullivan patrolling left, while Johns, still wobbly on his spiked heel, returned to his position at second.
At the expense of the amazed Pennsylvanian pitcher and catcher, the alert Crimson baserunners marked up a third tally in the sixth. Frankie Owen hit sharply to the left garden, stole second and wound up at third when the Quaker backstop tossed one into centerfield. Johns walked and so effectively...
Spoiling Ingalls' hopes for a shutout, the Penn third baseman, Field, gained the initial sack on a fielder's choice, reached second on Jim Hauze's liner through the pitcher's box, and scampered across the plate when a grounder skimmed through Johns legs.
Returing batting eyes are expected to carry the Crimson through. Mitchell is starting his regular lineup with the exception of Dick Grondahl who replaces the injured Art Johns at second base.
