Taylor didn't get much rest before the fifth as Malinowski struck out two while facing only five batters. Taylor tired after just two batters, giving up a single to pinch hitter Jim Thomas and walking Durso. Tufts reached into their bullpen once again and came up with Steve deMoraes, who allowed another six Harvard runs to come across the plate...

Nawrocki was sent back to left field and Glenn Erickson, a pinch hitter in the first game, came on to walk in three more runs on thirteen pitches.

The Soviet Union's estimated $570 billion G.N.P. is roughly half that of the U.S., yet the nation spends fully as much on defense and capital investment as the U.S. does. Inevitably, the pinch has come on consumption.

...Crimson uprising in the ninth began with one out as Smith singled into center field and Larry Barbiaux drew a walk from Yale ace Bob Corcoran. Rich Bridich then fanned with three mighty cuts that indicated he was looking for the fences. Pinch hitter Joe Mackey managed to reach first after Yale first baseman Dick Jauron bobbled the ball and then made a late throw to first that Mackey just beat out by a few angstroms or so. Durso then faced four misplaced pitches to give the game the type of ending little leaguers dream about...
