Elon Drops 19-2 Contest To Princeton The London bUtz had nothing on the barrage of baseball bombs which exploded into the midst of the Elon diamond squad as the Princeton Tigers blasted out an overwhelming 19 to 2 victory over the Fighting Christians here on Thursday afternoon, .March 31st. After being pent up by weather at home and rained out in their proposed opener with Wake For est at Winston-Salem the pre vious day. the Tigers from the Ivy League’s classic "Big Three” seemed to have put all their base- knecks into one basket as they pounded out fifteen hits off fou» youthful i:ion pitchers. The barrage included five home- run blasts that rode the fences into the blue yonder, along with four ringing doubles, and to maxe matters worse the Elon hurlers gave up nine bases on balls and hit a couple of Tiger batsmen. The five Princeton homers were by five different players on Coach Ixi Donovan’s balanced squad. Captain Mike Ippolito smacked the first homer in a 6-run fourth inning, and Ken Murry, Bill Mc- MiilaH, Gary Trout and Pete Cris- po followed their captain’s exam ple In later Innings, with Murry and Trout blasting theirs back-to- back in a 6-run ninth frame. Meanwhile, three Princton pitch ers combined for an effective day on the mound, limiting the Elon outfit to she scattered hits and holding the Christians away from the plate In all except the seventh and eighth Innings. Mike Little, freshman catcher, got one of Eton's markers with a blast over the left field wall in the eighth. The score by Innings: r k e Princeton .. 200 620 306—19 15 0 Elon 000 000 110— 2 6 3 Douglass, Phillips (5), West (7) and Naples, HoU; Koenig, Teal (‘1), Cunin (6), Isley (8) and Dd- Gals, Little.
