His mental coach has instructed him to focus on his own game, as there's not much he or anyone else can learn from studying his monumentally talented rival. "It's silly to pay attention to someone so gifted and expect to learn from [him]," Rotella says. "You can learn a lot more...

It was nice to see us stay in our swing...
...play on the mound and in the field ultimately doomed Harvard (4-17, 2-2 Ivy) to a disappointing 12-11 defeat.“When you get 13 hits and 11 runs and a team gives you five errors you take advantage of it,” Crimson coach Joe Walsh said. “I’m tired of being in slugfests and coming out on the short end of them.”In an ugly contest that featured five lead changes and runs scored in every inning, it quickly became evident that the game would...
