But like after a little too much chocolate, the complexion of the game got even worse for Harvard the following inning. First baseman Mark Bingham led off with a walk and moved to third when Ravinas's pickoff throw found the first base stands. Paul Halas then walked and stole second to give the Crimson men on second and third and nobody out.

Somewhere along the way of the next two batters missed a sign for a squeeze play, as Ravinas checked Billy Blood, Pearce, and St. John to foil the Crimson's most convincing threat.

"I wish I had something profound to say about today's game to you," Park said after the loss that gave his squad a 10-1 slate for the year.

How about, "What a drag?"

THE NOTEBOOK: With his motto "The Eastern League is all that matters for the playoffs," Park will hurl Larry Brown (5-0) and Steve Baloff (2-0) in the Saturday doubleheader against Dartmouth at Soldiers Field.
