...Crimson started off the fireworks yesterday afternoon, reaching eventual game winner Craig Gibson (3-0) for four runs on five hits in the first inning. After left fielder Paul Scheper led off with a strikeout, Danny Bowles and freshman centerfielder Bruce Weller hit back to back singles. Cleanup hitter Brad Bauer then slapped a Gibson delivery over the fence for a 3-0 Harvard lead. Bauer was the only big bat for the Crimson all afternoon, adding a single and a double to his first inning round tripper to go three-for-five...
Navy came right back in the bottom of the first but managed just one run after loading the bases with one away.

Bowles, a lefty swinger with a sweet stroke, is a fine hitter and a good fielder--his arm may be the best on the club. His only question-mark may be an ability to hit lefties, but only because he has not seen many. Bowles in right will be a Crimson strength...
...squad's only natural lead-off hitter, left fielder Paul Scheper, is another of the role players who helped Harvard to the title last season. His .333 average in 33 at bats includes some clutch hits, and although he has little power, he does a lot of little things well with the bat. Scheper's speed (seven stolen bases) will help in left...
