They may have been suited up with what looked like a beekeeper’s helmet, a mix between a bulletproof vest and an apron, and one white glove à la Michael Jackson, but still “they were hitting pretty hard,” Vloka said. Up to four people from each house were allowed to compete, and the entire men’s and women’s varsity...
