...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.

Sure, it's disappointing to see Rick Wise give up eight runs in the first two innings, but when George Scott lets...
