...Libertarian candidates have peeled off enough votes from Republican congressional candidates to cost the party races in Washington, Nevada, Montana and, most recently, Louisiana.

Game three stung even worse. To add insult to injury, after the Crimson lost starting quarterback Liam O’Hagan to a season-ending injury, backup hurler Chris Pizzotti fumbled the ball in Mountain Hawk territory with the game tied at 13 and 30 seconds left on the clock. Lehigh defensive tackle Paul Bode scooped...
