Saturday's game against Army was a mirror image of last year's contest--the same but reversed. Last year, Barry DeBolt, the Cadet's star pitcher, was hooked up with Harvard's legendary Paul Del Rossi in a pitching duel until a bungled run-down between home and third allowed Skip Falcone to score the run, that beat Army 1-0.
