...sophomores have picked up some of the hitting slack for the Elis. Outfielder Steve Marchel currently carries a .379 average, and catcher Tony Paterno is close behind at .367. Trying to pick up where Darling left off on the mound are senior hurler John Impagliazzo (2-3, 5.87 ERA so far) and soph Ken Martin...
...Harvard fielders chipped in with three errors to give Darling, the finest college pitcher in the East, an 11-run lead before he put toe to rubber. The Elis held on, of course, taking a 14-2 decision in the opener of yesterday's doubleheader and riding Joe Impagliazzo's four-hit pitching to seal the nightcap, 4-2. What began as a weekend of promise on Friday has, two rain-days and two losses later, turned into a nightmare for Harvard...
...Darling and Impagliazzo are this awesome the rest of the way, forget it. The former drew a dozen scouts to Cambridge, most equipped with speed guns that timed the junior's fastball consistently in the high 80s and once or twice in the 90s. What impressed them most was that this is how Darling looked with a 14-run lead, not exactly pressure conditions.

...second game, Impagliazzo and Greg Brown hooked up in a pitchers' duel that settled in at 2-1. Yale, after both sides scored in the fourth. Neither team put together a rally again, but in the top of the seventh Yale got a two-out double from Darling--who is also on of the EIBL's finer hitters--and football star Rich Diana rode a Brown fast ball over the right-center field fence for a two-run shot. Impagliazzo set the Crimson down 1-2-3 to seal the sweep...
...which puts a good deal of pressure on Greg Brown, a young man with no worse credentials than a no-hitter in his last start. Brown will face Darling in today's opener, with Jim Curtin battling Joe Impagliazzo in the nightcap. Not only does Brown have to worry about matching Darling, who simply might not allow a run, but he also must face Darling the hitter--along with Rich Diana, Yale's hottest...
