Baseball Secures Red Rolfe Crown with Room to Spare

After dressing for Sunday’s doubleheader at O’Donnell Field, Brown was back in the infirmary yesterday, Walsh said. In Brown’s place, Walsh started junior Zak Farkes—who is nursing a sore shoulder—in Game 3 and Vance in Game 4.

“We’ve got to get Morgan back,” Walsh said. “We need him out there at shortstop.”

DEJA VU

When junior Josh Klimkiewicz homered in the first inning of Game 3, justice was served. The shot to the gap in left-center not only put Harvard up 1-0 in the division title-clinching game, but it made up for a home run that was washed out of the books—literally—when the Crimson’s Saturday matchup with the Big Green was called after 4 1/2 innings due to rain.

“I was a little more upset knowing that we’d have to come back here than I was about getting the stats washed out,” Klimkiewicz said.

Still, the homer raised Klimkiewicz’s season total to eight, tying him with captain Schuyler Mann for the team lead.

RETURN OF THE KING

With four hits yesterday, Farkes continued his recent stretch of hot hitting.

In Harvard’s last nine games—played in eight days—the junior infielder has gone 19-for-33 (good for a .576 average), with four home runs and 15 RBI.

His .358 batting average is now second on the team, trailing only freshman Steffan Wilson’s .360.
