Super hitting by Hal Smith, Ed Durso, Kevin Hampe and Larry Barbiaux powered the Crimson through its tour. Left-fielder Smith got 14 hits and eight RBIs in 30 trips to the plate. Four of his hits were for extra bases--two doubles and two out of the park. Lead-off batter Durso socked 13 hits in 28 at bats for a blistering 464 average and got to first base eight times on free passes...
Hustling Pete Rose provided two crucial RBIs for the Reds with a first-pitch-of-the-game homer off Oakland starter Jim 'Catfish' Hunter and with a clutch ninth-inning single...
...Bando (18 homers, 73 RBIs) and Rightfielder Reggie Jackson (20 homers, 52 RBls) provide the power.

They are all backed up by Lee May, the quiet first baseman who is called "Mechanical Man" because...
Varney led the team as a sophomore with a 377 batting average, 29 hits, 18 runs, 2 homers, and 17 RBIs. His home run total is very misleading, for Varney frequently hit 450-foot outs last year in Harvard's fenceless outfield...
