Harvard never led in either game of its doubleheader against the Cornell (24-16, 9-3 Ivy) on Soldiers Field on Monday. In game one, freshman hurler Shelly Madick could not follow up on her three-hit performance against Penn, and allowed a two-run homerun to Ashley Wolf in the first inning and four more runs in the second. In game two, co-captain Lauren Bettinelli allowed three runs in the first inning, but settled down to pitch a solid game. The Crimson, however, could not touch Cornell starter Whitney Smith, who allowed only one run in six innings...
After the two-run homerun in the first inning by Wolf, the Big Red added four more runs in the second on three hits and two Harvard errors. Cornell loaded the bases after Wolf reached on a throwing error by junior shortstop Pilar Adams. Lauren May then drew a bases loaded walk off of Madick in a 12-pitch at bat. Two more runs scored after a blooper to center field and an outfield error. Madick then walked Erin Kizer to reload the bases, and walked Samantha Hare to force in a run before being relieved by Voaklander...

The second run came on a homerun by sophomore outfielder Susie Winkeller in the bottom of the third...
...much as anyone else. As 84 year-old Johnny Pesky, who has been a part of franchise since 1939, walked through the stadium fans hugged him and thanked him. Was he ever so revered as a player? On this night he might as well have beaten Babe Ruth?s homerun record. ?This is for my father and stepfather and all those guys who kept watching,? said Bob McCauley, 54, who had traveled from South Boston to see his team win. ?I was seventeen in 1967 and the loss to the Cardinals in the World Series was killer...
...games is ridiculous. Though they came out swinging in the ALCS last year, beating New York in the first game, the Yankees won two in a row right after that. And that series went to seven games and in the final game, 11 innings, when only a fluke homerun from Aaron Boone could give the victory to the Yankees. Unfortunately, Aaron Boone won’t be there to help out this time, as he sits knee-injured with the Cleveland Indians. Yes, the Cleveland Indians. That’s gratitude...
