Small ball enough to win four

Mike Scioscia, manager of the 2002 World Series champion Anaheim Angels, espoused a baseball rationale known as ?small ball.? The tactic emphasizes getting runners on base, moving them over and driving them in, one step at a time ? more commonly ?get?em on, get?em over, get?em in.? The softball team has benefited from many home runs this season, but the small-ball approach and an emphasis on each play are the reasons for its 12-0 Ivy League start.Princeton (13-19 overall, 12-0 Ivy League) completed a home-and-home doubleheader series against the Columbia Lions (12-23, 3-9), sweeping all four games.
