Nearly ten years ago, a small band of wary Americans boarded an air-worn converted C-141 tanker. They roared off into the night from Andrews Air Force Base, held their ears from the shattering sound, chewed on half-cooked steaks, and eleven hours later stumbled onto the Helsinki tarmac as the November sun set.

Harvard fought back after Charlie Santos-Buch scored on a passed ball in the second inning and Jim Peccerillo doubled home two runs in the fifth to give Harvard a 3-2 lead. Santos-Buch scored on a wild pitch, after reaching third base on a triple, to give the Crimson an insurance run in the sixth...
