WP: Carrie Jeffries (8-5); LP: Heather Brown (1-6)
Senior Heather Brown (1-6) gave up 10 hits in the nightcap, but she allowed the Minutewomen just one earned run and kept Harvard in the ball game for the duration. The Crimson, however, could muster only three hits and failed to get on the scoreboard against UMass freshman Carrie...
"We just didn't hit the ball in the second game," Abeles said. "Batting is about making adjustments, and we weren't doing it against [Jeffries]."
Jeffries delivered a speech at Harvard severalmonths later at the invitation of three blackstudent groups. The Crimson objected, calling himanti-Semitic in a staff editorial. Jeffries'backers reacted with criticism of what they calledbiased coverage in The Crimson.
The BSA's invitation of Leonard Jeffries, a professor at City University of New York and an alleged anti-Semite, to appear on campus in 1992 provoked another debate over supporting campus protest groups at the expense of Jeffries' right to express his opinions.
