...show’s creator spoke in the voices of three characters in front of a wet crowd crouched under umbrellas in Tercentenary Theatre yesterday. Event organizers estimated that between a few hundred and 1000 people attended the speech, while others watched on screens in Science Center lecture halls and classrooms in order to avoid the rain that poured down on the audience for most of the ceremony...
...festivities, but according to Adams, the Class of ’06 would not succumb to the weather. “I heard people say they almost enjoyed it more with the rain,” she said. “Limbo was especially fun with the grass all wet,” said Adams. “[The rain] was fun in its own right.” Outings to Fenway Park for games between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Devil Rays and a talent show also appeared on the week’s docket.

Harvard (21-18-1) engineered a dramatic comeback with five runs in the ninth inning to topple host Northeastern (21-17), 7-5, in a wet non-conference affair. With two outs and runners on the corners, sophomore third baseman Steffan Wilson crushed a 1-0 fastball from Huskies closer Matt Morizio through the now-driving rain into deep centerfield. The ball bounced up against the 435-foot mark on the wall as the centerfielder slipped in pursuit...
