...HARVARD 0Harvard did all it could, but at the end of the day Torero starter Josh Romanski walked off the mound with a no-hitter and a complete game shutout.

Mosby, in an Oxford shirt and slacks, shouted over a flutist - a lifelong Republican Mosby had already converted - busking nearby. When people stopped he not only offered help filling out their forms, he gave them his pitch on why he changed his registration from Independent to Democrat to vote for the Illinois senator. "He's the greatest breath of fresh air I've seen in eight years, and possibly in my whole voting career," Mosby said...
