Unfortunately, Bridge is fairly ordinary. Decidedly less bluesy, Popper’s signature harmonica solos are rare and truncated and many of the songs sound like everyday pop, closer to poor copies of Barenaked Ladies or Dave Matthews than...
Harvard split a doubleheader with Mercer. The Crimson fell 2-1 in the first game, but Koppel came through again with a clutch home run, this time a three-run shot in the seventh to propel Harvard to a 4-3 win in the second game...
