I was at the game. I remember Jim Mortis the skipper for tech came out to the mound and started kicking the dirt up pissed off after about 3 pitching changes.

I was there as a member of the Coaches Committee ground crew. I remember Koerner made the third out....I thought he had also made the first out We were in the ground crew pen waiting to go work the field after the game ended.....and it went on and on. I had a friend that worked with me at Dow that was a GT grad, and he was sitting in the seats behind home plate. I ragged him after about the 10th run. Most enjoyable game I ever saw, and we made it to 5 CWS wins.

Morris actually made the first and second outs of the inning and got a double in between. The NCAA record 17 consecutive batters to reach base started after he got out the first time and ended with his second out of the inning.

He did in fact make up for it later in the year, lol
