...Brown] would be disappointing.”Considering the squad has a slim chance of accomplishing its goal of winning the Ivy League, it is a bit ironic that the Crimson has finally found its stride. In the last four contests, Harvard has scored an average of 8.25 runs per game. The team, however, dropped two of those games—one loss came from a walk-off homer against the Bulldogs and the other from a walk-off infield single against Northeastern.“The thing that’s really keeping me going is the attitude...
