Offense Lapses Hit At College World Series Pitcher
Brad Dickson notes a CWS pitcher struck out 17 and allowed one hit in batting practice as offense falters at this year’s College World Series. The prompt also recalls the 1933 All-Star Game at Comiskey Park where the AL won 4-2 with Babe Ruth’s two-run homer and highlights 1957 when Althea Gibson became the first Black champion at Wimbledon.
