...sport star MIKE SMERCZYNSKI has a tip. "The best restaurant in Boston," says the Peabody native, "is Tecci's, right behind North Station." Smuzz, a fullback with the football team in the fall and a relief pitcher with ALEX NAHIGIAN's batsmen in the spring, lists a dish called Steak Mafia as the house specialty, and calls the prices "very reasonable...
...That was undoubtably a turning point right there," Harvard coach Alex Nahigian said after the game. And when Larson and second baseman Gaylord Lyman finally connected on their much-practiced pickoff play moments later, trapping Pete Rappa off second for the final out, Columbia's most dangerous rally was extinguished...
...been Donnie Allard. Everyone always knew he could hit, but a slow start this season nearly finished the sophomore the way it did last year. Instead, Allard has caught fire. He is now hitting .276, and his 17 runs batted in lead the team, as do his six doubles. Nahigian's increased confidence in him is evident; after opening the season at the bottom of the batting order, the right fielder is now batting fifth. With six hits in his last 11 at bats, he is the squad's hottest hitter...
...Nahigian has picked his second and third starters, Billy Doyle and Greg Brown, for tomorrow's twin bill. Both have looked good and bad, so the high earned-run averages (5.82, 5.14) are somewhat misleading. Then again, the figures are a good indication that last year's pitching consistency hasn't yet returned. Doyle has been hit hard (25 safeties in 20 innings); both have been hurt by walks...
...some good news, Nahigian has found his lead-off hitter in freshman center fielder Bruce Weller. A quick singles hitter with a bit of power, Weller has matched his solid play in the pasture with a nice performance at the plate. He walks often (11 in 64 plate appearances), can steal bases and has hit around .330 all season. Nothing special compared to Columbia's kiddie corps, but good enough for second on the team around here...
