Crockett and sophomore John Franey each struck out the side, while junior Mike Madden and senior Garett Vail breezed through one-two-three frames.

Harvard pitching allowed just Kim's triple and two singles, not allowing a runner to reach second base after the first inning.

The Crimson now turns to more pressing business, namely capturing its fourth straight Red Rolfe Division title. Harvard winds up its league slate with a four-game set against traveling partner Dartmouth (15-20, 8-8). The home-and-home series begins with a doubleheader tomorrow in Hanover and concludes with another twin bill Sunday at O'Donnell Field.

With a two-game lead over second-place Brown (19-15, 11-5), the Crimson's magic number is three. The Bears start a home-and home versus last-place Yale (13-27, 5-11) this afternoon in Providence.

The Big Green, as per usual, sport a hard-hitting, poor-pitching squad with a .314 team batting average and 27 home runs, plus 44 stolen bases in 62 attempts.

Mike Levy paces the squad with a .412 batting average and 28 RBI, while Mike Conway is hitting .346 with 45 hits. Slugger Aaron Meyer, who challenged for the Ivy League Triple Crown last year, is hitting .342 with 11 home runs and 42 RBI.

For once, the Green has sported some success on the hill. Starter Jeff Dutremble is the reigning Ivy League Pitcher of the Week, after tossing a two-hit shutout in last weekend's 5-0 win over Yale in the series opener. Dutremble is 4-2 on the year with a 4.24 ERA, but has issued 27 walks in 46.2 innings.

Other likely Dartmouth starters include John Velosky (1-5, 4.11), Mark Swan (2-3, 5.31) and Conor Brooks (3-3, 6.46). The staff lugs around a 6.00 ERA on the season, and opponents bat a healthy .323 against it.
