...performance marked the second impressive start by a freshman in as many days. In Tuesday’s 2-1 victory at Cornell—its first win of the Ivy slate and its second overall—rookie Zach Hofeld threw a complete-game four-hitter to allow the Crimson’s slumping lineup to stay...
...Crimson pitching staff is banged up, with front-of-the-rotation sophomore starter Eric Eadington possibly out for the next six weeks, if not more, and just about every veteran in the bullpen hurting in some capacity. The lineup has been equally unreliable, with captain and top hitter Matt Vance playing through some pain, senior outfielder Tom Stack-Babich catching the injury bug, and the rest of the order just playing inconsistently in general.

The Crimson hasn’t posted a victory since a 4-1 decision over Lafeyette on March 16.Locked...
