What is even more dangerous is that the three bashers don’t just hit a lot of balls out of the park, but that they do it in clutch situations. Take last weekend’s series against Cornell as an example. In a must win second game on Sunday Princeton trailed 5-4 in the seventh inning. Welch led off with a homerun to tie the game and then Lettire smashed a walk off home run that propelled the Tigers into the ILCS...
