Baseball Split Keeps Lehigh
On Top In All-Sports Race
All-Sports Trophy competition,
between Lehigh and Lafayette,
resumed last Friday with the
Engineer baseball team splitting
a pair with the Leopards.
Freshmen Jeff Sperring and
Joe Lanzoni combined on a
shutout in the first game at the
Saucon Fields, to win 2-0 before
Lafayette retaliated with a 10-7
edge in the nightcap.
Sperring, of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
went eight and one-third innings
to make his first collegiate
triumph a big one, and Lanzoni
finished up when the Leopards
threatened in the ninth. Lanzoni
is from Trenton, N.J.
Outfielder Chris Dax unloaded j
a grand slam homer in the second
contest, pulling Lehigh into a
temporary 7-4 lead, but the
Leopards jumped on Lanzoni in
this one to pull out the decision.
The split left Lehigh with a 4-3-1
