Inserting safe blows where they were most needed and capitalizing on Crimson miscues afield, the highly-touted Holy Cross nine defeated the Varsity at Worcester Saturday for the second win of their 1935 series.
Bill Lincoln pitched nice ball for the invaders allowing nine hits, while Roy Bruninghaus gave out an equal number for the Crusaders, but was touched more liberally by the revamped Harvard line-up than he had been on Wednesday.
George Tittman, starting his first game, caught the Purple infield flatfooted in the first of the second with a drag bunt along the foul line. Craig Woodruff, handcuffed by Bruninghaus in their preceding meeting, then stepped into one of the cocky Crusader's fast shoots and propelled it out into center for a triple. A moment later he scored on Captain Maguire's infield roller to give the Crimson its first two runs.
Holy Cross came back with two tallies in its half of the second, but the invaders went into the lead again in the fourth when Braman Gibbs, leading slugger for the day, singled sharply to left and tallied on Tittman's double to the same sector.
Three hits, two walks, two errors by the infield, and the pitcher's hesitation on a double-play ball were enough to give Holy Cross three unearned runs in their half of the fourth. Adding three additional tallies and stifling Harvard's attempted rallies the Crusaders held the margin of victory throughout the remainder of the contest.
