Struggling Tigers head to Brown, Yale

Last weekend, still seeking dependable bullpen arms and productive bats for the bottom half of the order, the men's baseball team was swept by Dartmouth and Harvard in a pair of home doubleheaders to open its Ivy League season.As the Tigers (4-16-1 overall, 0-4 Ivy League) travel to face Brown (3-13, 3-1) and Yale (14-10, 3-1) tomorrow and Sunday, respectively, another week has been devoted to the search, but the same deficiencies that have doomed Princeton to its wretched start continue to make the immediate prospect of securing league wins unlikely.Not only are the Tigers mired in a seven-game winless streak, but their foes this weekend are each heating up just in time for their returns home.All three of the Bears' wins this season have been claimed over their last four games, and they should be eager to play their first game on their own field after rain cancelled what would have been their home opener Wednesday night.
