Five days after he flew in from the bullpen like Superman against Brown to put Harvard in control of its own destiny, and one day after he twirled a one-run, six-hit gem to keep it there, Crockett was taking a well-deserved day off at Dartmouth yesterday. But before the sweat had even dried on his cap, his team already needed him again...
Standing on the sidelines in street clothes during Game Two, Crockett watched the Crimson simultaneously give up a 2-0 lead and the chance to clinch the Red Rolfe division title outright. Now Harvard will have to meet a menacing Brown squad in a one-game playoff on Wednesday. Harvard Coach Joe Walsh has already named his rubber-armed ace as his starter. He’ll pitch on three days’ rest...
...Crockett hasn’t been asked to start a game on short rest yet this year, but he showed little sign of being tired in his one-inning relief stint last week...
Even if Harvard wins on Wednesday, the real winner will be the Princeton Tigers, champions of the Lou Gehrig Division. The Tigers could potentially avoid seeing Crockett altogether in the best-of-three Ivy championship series. Unless Walsh decides to play sadist and pitch him on two days’ rest, the earliest Crockett could take the mound would be Game Three on Sunday. And even then, he would be pitching on three days’ rest for the second time in a week...
...been the rule during most of Walsh’s tenure, Harvard will go as far as its pitching will take it. After Crockett, though, there may not be much that can be taken for granted anymore...
