With two arms, he could pitch every day of the wee. Cheaper, too."

Irving topped out at 82 miles per hour on the guns...Harvard successfully executed its second double steal of the season when Morgan and sophomore designated hitter James Crowley took second and third in the fourth inning UNH, 1-0 at Soldiers Field           R  H  E UNH  010  000  000  --  1  3  2 Harvard  000  000  000  --  0  4  2
