...When a team splits every single weekend, is it a model of inconstancy or just the opposite? Whatever it is, the Harvard baseball team (14-22, 7-7 Ivy), which has split every weekend that it has played league opponents, must change its course in order to keep the Crimson’s hopes for the Ivy League playoffs alive...
...blowout in which junior Max Perlman and freshman Andrew Ferreira combined for a five-hitter with no walks. Even with a Beanpot loss, Harvard seemed to have more than enough momentum to break its streaking habit with dominant wins over Yale (17-19-1, 4-10), the last-place team in the Rolfe Division. One game into the doubleheader, the Crimson was right on track. But the goal of a sweep was soon derailed when the Bulldogs scored seven runs in the first inning of game two and rolled on to a 15-1 win, facing few challenges...
...some sports, that might represent a lackadaisical attitude, but for the Crimson baseball team, it actually makes sense. Despite its mediocre record, Harvard has demonstrated time and time again that is has all the talent it needs to get the necessary victories to make the Ivy League tournament.

The older O’Hara is right behind the pair, standing at second in batting average (.323), on-base percentage (.411), and walks (19), while slugging at a .476 clip for third-best on the team...
...there’s really no question that Harvard has the talent to make the Ivy League tournament, and with a doubleheader against Yale coming up tomorrow, the team has another opportunity to take control on the field and roll into its weekend games against Dartmouth (19-13, 9-5) with momentum. It just has to make strong performances a certainty rather than a question mark. And should the Crimson succeed in making the tournament, its raw talent alone over the course of the season indicates that Harvard can make...
