Crockett and Jamieson will both likely start this weekend despite pitching yesterday. Harvard will also send senior Garett Vail and sophomore John Birtwell to the hill in this, its penultimate home weekend of the season.
If there is an early favorite for Ivy Pitcher of the Year, it may be Birtwell, who was named Pitcher of the Week for the second straight week on Wednesday.
At 4-4 (11-19 overall), Yale sits in last place in the Red Rolfe division, but the Elis sport what is arguably the best pitching rotation in the Ivy. Therefore, the Harvard bats will need to be on their best behavior, or at least as good as they were yesterday.
"Yale has to be the most important series of the year," Mager said. "Yale is our biggest rivalry and we think we're ready for them. If we just play like we did today, and look to swing the bats, we'll be fine."
