Stenhouse started the eighth-inning rally with a two-out triple (his second of the game, sixth of the season) to right-center off Tufts southpaw Art Georgeu. Jumbo coach Bill Samko then made the mysterious decision to intentionally walk Harvard cleanup hitter Mark Bingham, a left-handed batter, to get to Peccerillo, a righty who had stung the ball all day and had--unbeknownst to Samko--been hitting .500 the past week...

The junior righthander yielded only one hit, but he hit one batter and walked six others before coach Alex Nahigian yanked him in favor of southpaw Paul McOsker midway through the third inning...
