@TOD HOWARD HAWKS CC 66 Columbia Tennis vs. Columbia Baseball:
Columbia Tennis is the 2019 Ivy League Champion! Congratulations to Coach Goswami and all the players on the squad! Though I didn’t watch the contest, it is my understanding that the match against Cornell, and the Ivy Championship, came down to a tiebreaker, which Ambrosy heroically won. Unbelievable guts!
Meanwhile, Columbia played Harvard in baseball yesterday afternoon (Sunday, 28 April). My understanding is that if Columbia had beaten Harvard in that game, Columbia would have become the Ivy Champs in baseball. While I again didn’t watch the game, I did check the score from time to time. The first time I checked, Columbia was leading 6-0 in the fourth or fifth inning (I forget which it was); nonetheless, I thought Columbia had the game, and concomitantly, the Ivy Championship won. Columbia had a six-run lead with the game almost half over.
I am not a baseball coach, but I thought all Columbia had to do to win the whole enchilada was to keep Harvard from scoring seven runs, and to do that, I thought, all Columbia would have to do is use its very best pitchers to keep Harvard at bay.
Well, when I checked back later, I was, of course, shocked to see the score was tied 9 to 9 in the eleventh inning. How had this happen, I thought? Later, when I saw that Harvard had won the game in the 14th inning by a score of 10 to 9, I was so upset I couldn’t bring myself to read the recap to learn how Columbia had managed to lose the game, and the Ivy Championship, when seemingly, at least to me, they had had both in the bag.
Now, if Columbia Baseball wishes to emulate Columbia Tennis, they will have a much more difficult row to hoe.
