BOSTON--The Harvard baseball team got the opportunity yesterday to do something every Little Leaguer dreams about when it took the field at Fenway Park for the Beanpot consolation game.

Unfortunately, the game's result proved less than magical, as Boston College downed Harvard, 8-5.

With the loss, the Crimson (15-19, 8-5 Ivy) finishes last among the four Beanpot teams for the first time in the eleven-year history of the tournament.

Harvard also has dropped its last four games.

In each of those contests, the Crimson has jumped out to an early lead, but then allowed the opposition to sneak back into the game.

Yesterday, Harvard owned a 4-2 advantage after four and a half innings of play, but a four-run explosion by the Eagles (28-14) in the bottom of the fifth put the Crimson away.

"We seem to always start off well, but then we lose it in the end," said sophomore third baseman Nick Carter.

Senior pitcher Mike Madden's outing yielded mixed results for Harvard, as the right hander displayed flashes of brilliance while flirting with disaster.
