Just two days removed from clinching the Red Rolfe division title and a berth in this weekend’s best-of-three Ivy League Championship Series with Princeton, the Harvard baseball team was set back by elements beyond its control yesterday.
Steady rains postponed an afternoon non-conference duel between the Crimson (20-18-1, 14-6 Ivy) and crosstown foe Northeastern at the Huskies’ Parsons Field. The game has been rescheduled for today at 3 p.m.
The rivals last met on April 18 at Fraser Field in Lynn, Mass. for the first round of the Beanpot baseball tournament.
In that game, an 8-5 Havard win, freshman lefthander Hampton Foushee pitched four innings of one-run ball in his first collegiate start.
Harvard head coach Joe Walsh will likely use a combination of pitchers today, with the effect of using the occasion as a midweek tune-up against live hitting. No. 1 starter Shawn Haviland, named Ivy League Pitcher of the Week for the second straight week yesterday, will likely make an appearance.
