...first four hitters in the Crimson lineup, and statistically the finest foursome in the Ancient Eight—went a staggering 3-for-33 on the day. Tigers starters Erik Stiller and Christian Staehely worked quickly, flummoxing them with a steady repertory of fastballs and off-speed stuff, the latter hitting the glove in every count...
