Hanging on to a precarious 10-3 lead, the Yardlings entered the inning with Paul Thornton on the mound. In the nightmare that followed the Huskie freshmen scored six runs on one hit, six walks, three wild pitches, and two crucial errors.

Experiencing Endgame is in a way like walking into the monastery chapel a few blocks down from Eliot House: we are thrown into another world and made to forget...
