Batsmen Maul Terriers, 14-2

Crimson Salvages Consolation; Eagles Win 'Pot Final, 3-1

"It was the farthest ball I've ever hit, plain and simple," Morgan said. "I felt like it was the most power I could get from a swing."

After the game, discussion centered on how far it went. Senior pitcher Sean Johnston claimed it was "500 feet at least."

A veteran Boston Globe reporter, estimated a conservative "450 feet".

The tale of the tape is yet to be told, but the consensus is that it was the longest homerun in the tournament's three-year history.

Morgan went 2-3 on the day with four RBIs.

Harvard batted around in the sixth inning as freshmen substitutes Bo Bernhard, Bryan Brissette and Crowley all registered singles.

With all the offensive fireworks, it's easy to forget who held the Crimson's lead.

Junior pitcher Ray Desrocher (2-0 ) hurled a splendid four-hitter, walked none and struck out six. He allowed only six baserunners and retired the BU side in order in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings.

Boston College downed Northeasern 3-1, to win the third annual baseball Beanpot championship.
