With the score knotted at 5-5 in the top of the sixth and the bases juiced, Keck ripped a double down the right field line against Princeton senior righthander Howard Horn.

In the bottom of the frame, with two runners on for Koonin, the Tiger leadoff hitter who homered in the second game, Keck caught a pitch from senior righthander Donny Jamieson and rifled it to Woodfork at second base to pick off Princeton junior catcher Buster Small and end the inning.

Keck and Woodfork outsmarted Princeton baserunners in the fourth inning of the second game. With Tigers at the corners, Princeton senior third baseman Chris Loving tried to swipe second base. Keck fired to Woodfork, who cut off the throw and returned the favor to Keck. That forced Tiger senior first baseman Matt Evans into a rundown between home and third, and it was fitting that Keck finally applied the tag.

Keck rose to the occasion in the third game, going three-for-four with one RBI. He started Harvard's title-winning rally in the top of the ninth when he singled to right field.

"In the bottom of the eighth while I was catching, I was thinking that this could be last game, and my last at-bat for Harvard," Keck said. "But then I blocked it out of mind. When I came up I just did the things at the plate that I always do--stay back and try to drive the ball up the middle."

Captain Hal Carey's biggest contribution came in the first game. The senior third baseman continued his tear at the plate, hitting his third home run in two games in the top of the fifth. That came after Princeton had grabbed a 5-2 lead and sparked a three-run rally that pulled the Crimson even.

Carey's four-bagger set the stage for senior center fielder Andrew Huling to double two batters later. He went two-for-three and reached base four times in the first game, scoring twice. He went two-for-five and scored a run in game three.
