Rowland (4-2, 2.30) lost to the Crimson, 3-0, in the second game April 10. Bradley can also turn to a pair of righthanded workhorses in the bullpen in junior Jason Quintana (4-4, 3.40), who leads the Tigers with 45 strikeouts, and senior Howard Horn. Senior Tim Killgoar is the southpaw most likely to see action.

But Harvard's bats have come alive of late and the Crimson is averaging 7.25 runs in its last four games. In addition to run production from the heart of the lineup, Harvard has also received contributions from its two weakest hitters--sophomore left fielder John Portman (.282, 10 RBI) in the nine-hole and captain Hal Carey (.287, 24) in the leadoff spot.

"We've just got to keep doing what we've been doing over the last few weeks," said Carey, who belted two home runs Wednesday against Massachusetts. "We struggled to score runs last time against Princeton, but the key to this game is to not swing at a lot of balls, especially against Young. If we're disciplined at the plate we'll be alright."

Carey holds the school record for career hits (203) and doubles (45), but senior center fielder Andrew Huling (.417, 50), who is second to the senior third baseman in both categories, has anchored the lineup all season. He finished the regular season second in the Ancient Eight in batting average and leads the Crimson in nearly every offensive category.

Huling should bat in front of senior cleanup hitter Peter Woodfork (.375, 26), who is second on the team in batting average. According to Walsh, though, Woodfork is still hampered with a sore elbow and will probably be restricted to designated-hitter duties.

That means freshman Faiz Shakir (.429, 4), who has had 21 at-bats in 16 appearances, should replace Woodfork at second base and junior Jeff Bridich (.365, 20) might move from designated hitter to the outfield. Binkowski (.315, 30) and senior catcher Jason Keck (.296, 24) will provide experience to the lineup and the infield. Freshman shortstop Mark Mager (.327, 26) and sophomore outfielder Scott Carmack (.323, 14) round out the solid batting order.

But Harvard should rely on its pitching, as usual. Walsh said senior righthander Garett Vail (3.09, 1-2), who lost to Young on April 10, will take the mound in the first game.
