Johns Hopkins University took advantage of eight Soviet errors to win, 15-2, in the first U.S.-Soviet Union baseball game ever played on Russian soil.

A team from the D.I. Mendeleyev Institute of Chemical Engineering didn’t have a baserunner until the fourth inning, when Sergei Volkov reached first on an error.

A crowd of about 300 people scattered throughout the Lenin Komsomol Automobile Factory stadium cheered both teams during the 7-inning game but also whistled in displeasure at the Soviet errors.
