Barbiaux singled and trotted home in front of Stoekel's second home run. Thomas and Smith doubled, and a single by Hampe produced Cornell's third pitcher, Bill Haley.
Haley utilized a double play to end the threat. He got out of a bases-loaded situation with another one in the fourth after Stoekel had singled and scored for the third time in the game. In the fifth Brayton doubled and McGugan homered, and the Crimson got two unearned runs off of the fourth Cornell pitcher in the sixth to round out the romp.
In the second game Harvard turned three first inning errors into three runs, and singles by pitcher Sandy Weissant, McGugan and Smith added two more in the second.
But the tide quickly turned in the third inning when McGugan was ejected for fighting after a Big Red runner shredded his right stocking on a force play. The next batter hit a three-run homer, and after a single and a walk, Mike O'Malley came in to relieve Weissant. Before the side was out, Cornell had scored eight times.
Anyzeski Makes Name
Cornell pitcher Alfred Anyzeski had made a name for himself earlier this season when he threw a four-hitter against Arizona State. He contributed a single and a bases-loaded triple to the big rally. But when his lack of control allowed another Harvard run in the bottom of the third. Cornell's ace righthander Steve Storey came in to pitch the rest of the game.
Stockel scored in the fourth inning on a walk, a wild pitch and an error, and O'Malley retired the side in order three times before getting into trouble in the seventh, when Brayton came in with men on first and second to get the third out.
Harvard tied the game with two outs in the last inning. Barbiaux reached base on an error and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Hampe. Storey got the second out on a pop up, but Art Serrano, who was filling in for McGugan at second base, lined a triple to right for the tying run.
The next inning was anti-climatic, to say the least. Cornell scored six runs on two hits to salvage a split in a doubleheader and something to talk about on the long ride back to Ithaca
