Really? Harvard Has A Baseball Team?
The Dirtbags annihilated Harvard 15-0 tonight, and what is an Ivy League school doing shipping its players to nationally ranked opponents? Within a week, they faced U. San Diego (14th in today's BA ranking), UC Riverside (not on the list but still no slouches), Long Beach State (fifth), UC Irvine (seventh), and San Diego State (see UCR). Unsurprisingly, Team Crimson has started their season 1-11. Ouch.
And did I mention the Dirtbags swept UCLA in their weekend series? Surprising freshman catcher John Hill was a homer shy of the cycle in the first half of the doubleheader (hitting .522/.556/.652 in a small-sample-sized 23 AB), while OF Jonathan Jones was named Big West Player of the Week for going 7-for-12 in his last two series.
Comments:
Probably can't play at Harvard right now (too cold) plus has the added bonus of enjoying warm southern California for spring break. As someone currently in Wisconsin, that would be WAY more important right now than actually having a chance to win.
At least they got a hit against Long Beach last night. They got no-no'd at USD that same morning. Tough day...
your being too kind about UCR. This isn't 2007, and apparently we ARE slouches this year.
As for Harvard and "who knew?" - well Bush the 1st played 1B at Yale and that was played up in his bio and The Iron Horse played at Columbia - there i'm sure others but the Ivy League they play ball.
Heck, before you know it, even the Chinese will be playing. ;-)
