...hits of the day in the second game,” Bock said. Henderson scored again, along with junior outfielder Stephanie Krysiak, who is also a Crimson Sports Editor, to put Harvard up 5-1 in the final inning. But in the bottom of the seventh, Penn threatened to derail the Crimson’s lead. With two outs, the Quakers had the bases loaded, but Vertovez, who pitched the final two frames, and the Harvard defense held fast to shut Penn down and win 5-2.“It was a close call in the seventh inning...

The communal will to avoid a return to the dark days of the Troubles is simply too strong. Yet, until Saturday night, there had been no major terrorist incident to try the collective will of Northern Ireland's most recent power-sharing executive. With the contentious issue of security at the top of the political agenda once again, the cracks in Northern Ireland's fractious devolved government may widen even further...
