For a pitcher's club, the Harvard baseball team sure found a weird way to split a pair of doubleheaders.

The Crimson (2-2) dropped 1-0 and 4-2 pitchers' duels to Charleston Southern before bouncing back to win the nightcaps 13-5 and 7-4 last weekend in Charleston, S.C.

Harvard got solid plate performances from senior second baseman Peter Woodfork, who went 5-for-14 with five RBI and two stolen bases, and senior centerfielder Andrew Huling, who finished 5-for-12 with five RBI, four runs scored and three stolen bases.

On the hill, senior Andrew Duffell switched to the bullpen and picked up his first win of 1999, while classmate Garett Vail threw a complete-game gem, but lost a 1-0 heartbreaker.

But at times it seemed like Harvard's main opponent wasn't the Bucaneers (10-13)--it was the weather.

In a travel routine that looked like a comedy of errors, the Crimson spent Thursday night snowed in at Washington, D.C., getting only four hours of sleep before Friday's twin bill.

But the fun wasn't over yet. The Crimson couldn't fly out of Charleston Sunday afternoon and spent 12 hours in airports before arriving in Cambridge in the wee hours yesterday morning.

"I don't want to talk about it," Woodfork said. "It was just ridiculous. It was a torturous road trip."

CSU 1, Harvard 0

Harvard arrived at Buccaneer Field approximately two hours before game time in a fleet of cabs direct from the Charleston Airport, dressed in the dugout and got jumped by CSU, losing 1-0 to starter Ryan Smith (2-0).
