...Walsh said. “All I’m worrying about is how well we play.”The Crimson will throw sophomore Dan Zailskas and seniors Max Warren, Shawn Haviland, and Brad Unger out on the mound this weekend. Zailskas will pitch Saturday, but the second starter for that day has not been chosen. “It’s definitely different than any other year that I’ve been here,” Haviland said. “At the same time, the intensity will be there because no one is eliminated...
...second time in the game, Walsh made the decision to intentionally walk Huskies leadoff man Mike Tamsin to face Lyon, who leads his team with a .405 batting average and 29 RBIs this season.

Watkins was relieved in the first by sophomore Dana Roberts., who earned the win, throwing 4.1 scoreless innings and allowing only two hits. Madick closed the game, pitching the final two innings and striking...
...yesterday’s doubleheader at Yale, it seemed that, no matter what, the weekend’s results would feel like a victory for the struggling Harvard baseball team.Yesterday, the Crimson (4-25, 3-9 Ivy) continued its breakout offensive weekend and received two solid outings from veteran starters Shawn Haviland and Brad Unger, but a heartbreaking walk-off loss in the weekend finale left it with a sour taste in its mouth—and a split that won’t help it gain ground in the Ivy League standings. Hot Harvard bats paced the Crimson...
