Meanwhile, in the Harvard batter's box, a super mound performance by Ravinas coupled with the Crimson's ever-dwindling hit totals to produce nothing short of ineptitude at the plate...
...game hijinx at chilly MIT were particularly spectacular yesterday. Shortstop Burke St. John demonstrated some juggling ability of Harvard Square kiosk quality, while lanky Steve Baloff's ability to balance a fungo bat on his nose is a gift that few others can claim.
