Cornell 3, Harvard 1

The tears streaming down Thoke's face afterSaturday's second game told the story. Thokeburied her head in the shoulder of sophomorecatcher and roommate Mairead McKendry aftersurrendering the game-winning hit to Cornell'sKelli Larsen in the top of the eighth inning.

But Thoke had no reason to hang her head. TheCrimson's workhorse all season, Thoke has loggedover 114 innings and was pitching her 12th inningof the day after a phenomenal performance in theday's opener. Also, she had taken a line drive offher right knee just two batters earlier.

Larsen's blow came with two out and two on inthe eighth. She drove Thoke's full count offeringdeep into center, where centerfielder JessieAmberg had the ball bounce out of her glove. Bothbase runners scored, and Harvard failed to answerin the bottom of the inning.

"It was a good pitch," said Teller of Thoke'soffering to Larsen. "After seeing [Thoke] for 12innings, I think they were starting to time her.She did great out there. She got hit in the kneeand she was probably getting tired, but she foughtthrough it. It was just a good hit."

The game was one of the most bizarre of theseason. Three batters were hit by pitches, andGodfree joined Thoke on the list of players hit inthe field when she cut her nose on a play at firstin the top of the second.

Two balls, including the game-winning hit,landed in Harvard outfielders' gloves and thenfell out as the players stumbled to the turf. Moreimportantly, with a very strong wind blowing infrom right field, two hits--off the bats ofMcKendry and Abeles--caromed off the fence inright, just inches short of being home runs, and abase runner was thrown out on each hit.

"It was not meant to be," Allard said. "Whenthe ball lands in an outfielder's glove and itbounces out, it's not meant to be. Somebody islooking out for somebody else."

The contest was a scoreless pitcher's dueluntil Cornell broke through for one run in the topof the sixth. Junior Jaime Reed led off with atriple to right and scored on a sacrifice fly byfreshman Annette Sheppard.

Harvard came right back in the bottom half ofthe inning. After a one-out single by Abeles,Koppel smashed a towering, two-out double intoleft center to score Abeles and knot the score at1-1.

That is how it stayed into extra innings beforeLarsen's game-winner.

"We knew we had to come in and sweep[Cornell]," Abeles said. "We played well, we justdidn't get the hits when we needed to. We don'tfeel like we beat ourselves. We gave a goodeffort; it just wasn't good enough today."

Abeles finished 2-for-3 with one run scored,and Koppel went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Guy startedthe game for Harvard and gave up four hits inthree innings. Thoke pitched the final five,giving up four hits and striking out four batters.
