...Crimson breakdowns came in pitching and on defense. After Waszczuk walked to lead off the UMass fourth in the opener, Jeff Cimini hit a double-play ball at shortstop Tony DiCesare. DiCesare overthrew second baseman Brad Bauer, and Chris Schindler retrieved the ball. Schindler threw the ball in to catcher Maspons to prevent a run from scoring...

He made good on his second promise, calling free elections three weeks after the coup, but after just two years of civilian rule Rawlngs again moved in with his army strongmen. A leftist revolutionary descended from a Scottish engineer father and a Ghanaian mother, Rawlings promised on regaining power that Cuba would be the model for Ghana's development...
