The Big Green did about all it could, beating Harvard, 3-1, in two doubleheaders. But the Bears countered with a 3-1 series win over Yale. Still, Princeton waited. Sitting one game behind the idle Big Green, Brown played a makeup doubleheader against Cornell on Wednesday, needing a sweep to claim a tie with Dartmouth in the standings. And still, Princeton waited.
Games have a tendency to turn into a slugfest.
I think everyone prefers to play Dartmouth. But then again, Brown would have to win three games to get to us, so they might be a little tired. But with the way the Tigers have been playing, the opponent does not seem to greatly affect the outcome. Last year, the Tigers found themselves in the role of underdog to the Big Green, who had both the league's best record and best pitcher. But this season, Princeton sits in that spot.
