...field and working to recover from injuries and sharpen his approach at the plate. Now fully healthy, Douglas is being given the opportunity to put his accumulated knowledge to work, and at this point he is impressing—he hit two home runs, including a grand slam, in the Crimson’s season-opening three-game set against Wichita State.“From what we’ve seen so far it looks like he can be a real bonus for us,” Stack-Babich says. Although the Crimson no longer boasts its Murderers?...
...Goldwater extremism-in-defense-of-liberty-is-no-vice sense of the word, but also in the wacky let's-relitigate-the-currency-debates-of-the-1820s sense of the word. The late William F.

After Harvard manufactured a trio of runs, it loaded the bases for junior Harry Douglas, who crushed a grand slam to put Harvard ahead, 7-5. The Crimson would score once more in the eighth and post a pair of runs an inning later to take a 10-5 advantage into the bottom of the ninth. But shaky pitching from Watson and Zailskas and an error created an opening...
