Another tough break led to the winning run in the sixth.

Feinberg, who made several great plays at second base, snared a line drive and threw to first to try to get a double play.

Unfortunately, the B.U. runner's helmet deflected the throw away, and the next batter--West--blasted a double to center to score the run.

Oh, those B.U. pitchers!

West retired six of the seven hitters she faced in the sixth and seventh innings for the victory.

West, who featured a wicked riseball, was certainly the best pitcher Harvard had faced this year, entering yesterday's game with a 10-2 record and 0.32 ERA.

"She is known for her riseball," Kreuder said. "It had a lot of movement and kept us guessing."

On the whole, the game was a pitchers' duel. Harvard freshman Tasha Cupp and sophomore Rachel Salzman kept the Terriers scoreless for the first five innings, allowing only two hits. The Terrier hurlers combined for 14 strikeouts and yielded just two hits.

But hitting against that type of pitching is a must for Harvard, since defending Ivy League champion Princeton (28-6, 4-0) comes to Soldiers Field for a doubleheader tomorrow afternoon beginning at 1 p.m.

Harvard has never beaten Princeton in 24 meetings, and the Tigers possess some more pitchers who can throw the riser.

"We have to play hard--[Princeton is] not going to make mistakes," Allard said. "We will do all that we can to give our best, and that's all that you can ask of [the players]."
