...eighth, Bridich proved an unlikely hero for a second time, as the Crimson put two unearned runs on the board for the eventual winning margin. Harvard used a dropped third strike and two walks to load the bases for Bridich with two outs, and the junior battled reliever John Dolan to a full count. He fouled off several 3-2 pitches before driving a hard ground ball at third base...

In the days after last Wednesday night's initial air attack, the anger and determination that brought NATO and Yugoslavia head-to-head seemed to snake out like that tiny flame in the video, triggering all kinds of "secondaries." On Saturday night the combat came home to Americans, who had their television shows interrupted by images of an F-117A Stealth fighter in flames on the ground inside Yugoslavia--and the astonishing story of the rescue of the downed pilot.
