It was euphoria. Utterly predictable euphoria.

And then Sunday was the same story all over again. More games, more heroes.

Hendricks pitched all seven innings of the first game, a 5-2 win, then came in and picked up the victory with 2/3 innings of much needed relief to finish up the ninth.

Schuyler Mann blasted two home runs to cap a 9-for-15 weekend. Farkes knocked his second homer of the series to tie the single-season Harvard record with 10. Hale made two phenomenal catches in a two-inning stretch, saving a triple with the second, a diving stab at a sure gapper in front of the 370-foot sign in right-center.

There was so much drama. But for a team with a flair for the dramatic and a character that defines clutch, it was, as Walsh said, “Just another Harvard game.”

It didn’t take long after the Game 4’s thrilling ending for the talk to turn to Dartmouth. The Big Green was the preseason pick to win the division and has won seven-straight league games—including a four-game sweep of Yale over the weekend.

They have momentum and the best lineup in the Ivy League. They have Crimson-killer Scott Shirrell. And they have more motivation than you can imagine after losing the division title to Harvard each of the last two seasons.

But the Crimson? The more unbelievable the win, the more inevitable.
