...rare start, held the potent Northeastern offense to three runs in 5 1/3 innings, and classmates Brendan Byrne and Andrew Casey contributed two hits apiece in what was likely their final collegiate outing—as of press time, Harvard was still trying to schedule an additional non-conference matchup for some time this week...
...four, and Mayweather, undefeated in his 37 times in the ring, will square off on May 5 in Las Vegas for the super welterweight (no more than 154 lbs.) championship. The fight will be shown in a record 176 countries and may become the most watched pay-per-view matchup ever--at $55 a pop in the U.S.--perhaps topping the 1.99 million buys to see Mike Tyson bite off a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear in 1997.

As a result, Harvard’s Beanpot Tournament consolation matchup against the University of Massachusetts at Fenway Park has been cancelled.
