...game the Crimson came back from a 6-3 deficit with ten runs in the seventh and four in the ninth to successfully fend off the Oshkosh offense. Harvard used four pitchers, but righthanded ace Larry Brown finished up and got the win. Mike Stenhouse provided most of the plate punch, going 3 for 6 with six RBIs on a three-run homer and a triple...
