...special quality of the 1977 edition of Harvard baseball, they never looked back, only ahead. Brown was the next prey in the team's sights and was soon coldly dispatched, 9-2, on May 6. Mike Stenhouse a freshmen second baseman from Cranston, Rhode Island, fired the biggest shots on the visitors from his home state, hammering two home runs to give McOsker all the runs he needed and Harvard its third win in the Eastern League...
...opener Peter Bannish, last season the starting first baseman for the Crimson and this season Park's top (and only) left-handed reliever, used this day to turn in his best performance of the year. The Crimson, on the strength of the southpaw's three-inning stint, rallied from a 4-1 deficit to overtake the Elis, 6-4. Offensively, Dave Singleton shone with a 4-for-4 day at the dish, but the big play was donated by little-used outfielder Bobby Jenkins. The speedy Jenkins, yet another one of Park's adept freshmen, singled as a pinch hitter...
Deadlocked 1-1 after the regulation seven innings had passed, the Crimson raced two runs home in the first extra frame on the strength of a triple by freshman first baseman Mark Bingham.

Baloff did just that, but two sloppy fielding plays, events which nobody had seemed to expect or worry about during the other 25 games of the season, were made...
...Devils had whipped Clemson, the ACC Champions and the only other team repeating a 1976 trip to Omaha, 10-7, largely on the efforts of freshman third baseman Jamie Allen. Allen smashed a homer and two singles and then pitched the Sun Devils out of a ninth-inning jam, earning a save to boot...
Even in losing, the Devils made noise. Trailing Southern Illinois 3-2 in the botton of the ninth with two out and nobody on, Allen tapped to the pitcher to end the game, except that the first baseman forgot to catch the ball, bringing the winning run to the plate in Horner, who had already belted one out of spacious Rosenblatt Stadium. Horner slammed the first pitch some 350 feet, only to have it caught at the wall. College baseball at its finest...
