Baseball Upsets UCLA in First Round

Team Notches Biggest Win in Recent History; Harvard to Face Stetson Today

After sophomore Andrew Huling walked to put runners at the corners, UCLA coach Gary Adams pulled starting pitcher Tom Jacquez for reliever pitcher Dan Keller.

Keller would fare no better. First Huling stole second. Then, with runners at second and third, sophomore Jason Keck lined a single to center field to score both Huling and Albers.

Increasing the damage, Peter Woodfork singled to left and Forst grounded out to third, advancing both Woodfork and Keck.

After pinch hitter Brett Vankoski walked to load the bases, Keller, noticeably shaky, hit Kessler with the pitch to score Keck. On the next play, Carey hit into a fielders choice, scoring Woodfork and capping a four-run inning for the Crimson.

With Harvard up 7-2, Hogan had all the cushin he needed to sail through the next three innings against UCLA's lefty-dominated lineup. Hogan allowed no runs from the fourth inning through the eighth.

"I was able to hit my spots, change speeds, and keep them off-balance pretty well [yesterday]," Hogan said. "We were thrilled to be here after a terrific season but we also felt that we were capable of even more."

In the bottom of the ninth, Hogan ran into a little trouble, but with two on and no outs, Jamieson forced all three batters he faced to fly-out.

"It was a perfect match-up." Hogan said.

If you are a Crimson fan, it certainly was.
