As a staff the Princeton pitchers have...

After dropping three consecutive games to the Big Green, the determined Crimson finally assured that it would end its otherwise disappointing Ivy season on a high note.Harvard lost game one against Dartmouth, 8-4, as senior ace Shawn Haviland struggled against a potent Dartmouth lineup despite remaining on the mound for the length of the contest.But the Crimson suddenly came alive in the nightcap, clawing its way out of a six-run deficit by posting eight runs in the ninth inning to upset the Big Green, 10-8.HARVARD...
