BASEBALL pitcher Steven Miller ’08’s final start had a rocky beginning: Two walks, an error, a hit batsman, and another walk in the first inning gave Cornell a 2–0 lead April 27. But Miller settled down, striking out 10 Big Red batters in seven innings and never allowing a hit in a 3–2 Princeton victory. Miller was the first Tiger pitcher to throw a complete-game no-hitter since Randy Blevins ’73 in 1973.
MEN’S and WOMEN’S TRACK each finished second to Cornell at the Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships May 10–11.

Three Tiger men also took top honors: David Nightingale ’08, 5,000-meter run; Alex Pessala ’09, hammer throw; and Eric Plummer ’10, shot put.
WOMEN’S WATER POLO finished third at the CWPA Eastern Championships April 25–27, losing to host Michigan, 7–4, in the semifinals and beating Maryland in the consolation round, 9–2.

The men’s lightweight eight, rowing in Worcester, Mass., placed second to Ivy-champion Cornell. The men’s heavyweight eight finished third, less than 0.18 seconds behind second-place Brown.
