Baseball Takes on Dartmouth for Title

Crimson can win Red Rolfe division with sweep

Exactly one year ago, a heartbreaking, extra-inning loss to Dartmouth knocked the Harvard baseball team out of the Ivy race, effectively ending a disappointing season.

This weekend, the Crimson looks for more than just revenge. It hopes to regain its familiar place atop the Ivy League.

Harvard can clinch a share of the Red Rolfe crown this weekend by winning at least three games of a home-and-home doubleheader series against Dartmouth. Harvard travels to Hanover tomorrow before returning to O'Donnell Field Sunday.

The Crimson enters this weekend's contest playing its best ball of the season. Harvard has won eight out of its last ten games, including three of four last weekend at Brown.

"Last weekend took us over a hump," said sophomore pitcher Kenon Ronz.

"Everything is finally clicking, and we're becoming a full ball club."

Harvard (17-21, 10-6 Ivy) heads into the final weekend of league play atop the Red Rolfe Division standings, holding a one-game lead over Dartmouth (15-15, 9-7) and a two-game lead over Brown (16-21, 7-7).

The Bears, however, have two games in hand on the rest of the league, due to a postponed doubleheader against Cornell that will be replayed early next week.
