...campaign featured the continuing ascendancy of Haviland, Vance, and Wilson; the dynamic swan songs of standout seniors like slick-fielding shortstop and captain Morgan Brown; and the emergence of untapped talents like Brunnig, who in addition to going 4-0 on the mound, hit well in the designatted hitter spot, Chris Mackey, who contributed solid play in left field, and Meehan, who hit .330 in 22 starts. In all, it amounted to another winning season for Harvard, culminating in the unsettling reminder that the best laid plans, in baseball especially, often go awry. —Staff writer Jonathan Lehman...
...contest all year—cruised to 3-1 wins in both matches. “Of all the teams in the league, we probably match up best with East Stroudsburg,” Ridolfi said. “Both our strengths are through the middle, and our middle hitters are better than theirs. So they played to our strength, and we were able to beat them twice.” But ESU kept winning, and the Crimson was left fighting for second place and a spot in the end-of-year EIVA conference tournament.

Down the stretch, McKiernan's teammates looked to the co-captain with the match on the line. And more often than not, he delivered. "You know if you set Seamus the ball, fifty to sixty...
...Cole from the game and build an insurmountable lead in its series-clinching win. Cole, who had allowed just one hit through the first five frames, appeared rattled by a pair of errors to start the inning—a booted groundball by shortstop Morgan Brown that allowed leadoff hitter Dan DeGeorge to reach and a high pickoff throw that permitted him to move to second—and, after hitting a batter, surrendered an RBI double to Zach Wendkos, a two-run double to Sal Iacono, and a walk before exiting with the score...
