...Crimson enters a crucial weekend series with Navy and league-leading Penn, it hopes that the bats can power the team to early leads. First baseman Rich Renninger has been on fire, going 9-for-11 in Harvard's last three games. Renninger has catapulted his batting average by 50 points in the last week to give him a .404 team-leading average. Captain Dan McConaghy has just slipped under 400, dropping...
Harvard (6-9-1 overall, 1-3 EIBL) led, 4-3, going to the top of the seventh when Vesuvius gave way. Second baseman Jim Mrowka greeted the Judges by driving the first pitch on to the softball field behind the left field fence.

At the plate, a nervous hopeful up from the minors squares his batting helmet and prays to the puffy clouds above the orange groves: God, please send the next...

Boardwalk and Baseball, which dominates the skyline over surrounding orange groves, features both the Lipizzaner stallions and first baseman George Brett. For a dear $21, a fan can spend a day riding the roller coaster and taking in a contest at the Royals' 8,000-seat stadium, where some 400 major- and minor-league games were played last year...
