The women, clad in T shirts and jogging pants, munch on fish and chips and sip beer. Hipster...
...returning starters, Wendy Bingham and Melissa Finley, have each posted .500 records thus far. At the plate, First Team All-Ivy first baseman Kristen Del Calvo is off to another torrid start with a .348 average, Finley is hitting a team-best .383 and Snyder has lit up opponents with a .326 pre-Ivy rookie campaign...
