...base on balls, a passed ball, a wild pitch, and three errors were the Bowdoin contributions to their downfall in the first. The Crimson nine added a stolen base and four hits, so that when the dust cleared away, the score read Harvard 6, Bowdoin...
This is the way it all happened: Jones sauntered and went to second on a passed ball. Zarakov chased him over with the first marker, and himself took third when Ellison's hit, aided by the wind, dropped safely for a single. Todd smacked the ball to the third baseman, and Zarakov was trapped between home and third.

Which last completely floored me, since I had spent weeks of patient research in hunting down that particular epistle and expected...
