The Harvard baseball team travels across the Charles to Boston College today, after being rained out at Princeton for the second time yesterday.
"Our games are always good against B.C.," Coach Loyal Park said yesterday.
The B.C. game will be the first of six scheduled for the Crimson in the next six days, including a doubleheader against Cornell on Saturday that will probably decide the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League championship. B.C. is not a member of the EIBL.
"Harvard's a very fine ballclub," B.C. coach Eddie Pellegrini said last night. "And we've been having a very tough time--losing in the thirteenth inning, losing in the ninth inning, but we've been losing. It's just one of those years, I guess--I've never had one before so I'm not used to it."
The Crimson will use the same lineup that beat Tufts Tuesday, with Jim Stoekel, who drove in the winning run in that game, still at shortstop and batting cleanup. Barry Malinowski will pitch.
"They'll be fired up, like anybody else, playing against Harvard." Malinowski said of B.C. yesterday," and they've got a winning record, but I don't think they're as strong as in previous years."
"I just hope we're not looking ahead to the weekend," he went on." "This one's important for the Greater Boston League--MIT and Northeastern have lost only once each."
"But I guess with a doubleheader at Cornell we'll probably be looking ahead anyway," he admitted.
