Harvard head coach Joe Walsh will likely use a combination of pitchers today, with the effect of using the occasion as a midweek tune-up against live hitting. No. 1 starter Shawn Haviland, named Ivy League Pitcher of the Week for the second straight week yesterday, will likely make an appearance. —THE CRIMSON STAFF
