...bottom of the eighth with the Crimson down 8-5, Holy Cross brought in Ryan Kenny, a reliever whom opponents had batted .353 against so far this year. Kenny (3-4) promptly hit freshman Brian Hale with a pitch, and after striking out the next batter, he threw wide of first in his attempt to pick Hale off.
