Crimson President "Rocket" Bob Boorstin, who is stronger than he looks, smashed the go-ahead run, and The Crimson protected its lead with the polished double-play combination of Jeff Toobin to Dave "Stretch" Wilson, amazing outfield grabs by Dave Frankel and John Bruce, and the traditionally flawless pitching of Mark Director, now 2-0 on the season...
