Despite the frustrating offensive performance and personal insecurities, the Lampoon stayed civil for most of the game.

Tensions flared briefly between the two teams in the seventh inning, though, when Lampoon junior Willie Decherd, who is also a Crimson editor, charged the mound after leaning into a curveball from Wirzbicki, who is also a Crimson editor.

Decherd's impudence cost him his hat later that inning after Crimson fashion warden and former president Josh Simon confiscated the garment, deeming it "too gauche."

The multi-gallon headpiece remained safe in Crimson hands until the end of the game, despite the ineffectual efforts of sophomore Lampoon thug Matthew M. Wrenshall to wrestle it away from Crimson security.

After the game, Wirzbicki praised the Lampoon for "giving it all they had."

"It's a promising young team they've got out there," he said. "Once they all get past puberty, we might be in trouble."

The Crimson's undefeated season continues next week with matches against the Harvard Salient and the Harvard-Radcliffe Undergraduate Council, a semi-relevant Holworthy Hall student group that used to occasionally enact so-called important legislation.
