After averaging seven-and-a-half runs per game in their first four contests, the batswomen scored only four against Wheaton on Monday, and could only eke out the lone run yesterday.
After each squad went down in order over the first three innings, B.C. got on the board first.
In the top of the fourth, after the leadoff batter was retired on a bunt attempt, Eagle catcher Anglea Seusel reached when shortstop Sharon Hayes had trouble handling her ground ball.
After Seusel was erased on a fielder's choice, Dickerman hit the skids, she yielded a single up the middle, and then proceeded to walk three in a row.
Harvard retaliated with its first hit of the day in the bottom of the fourth, as Hanva Bluestone lined one into left. She was cut down stealing however, and the mini-threat died.
Hayes's single in the fifth was the only other Crimson safety, until the fated seventh rolled along.
As the Cantabs prepared for their final turn at but, an air of expectancy arose-the heart of the lineup was due up, and the squad had come back to win in a similar situation just 24 hours earlier.
Mary Baldauf doubled to open things up, and Gin Barrest followed with a looping single to right. With runners on the corners and none out. Harvard looked like it might be about to repeat an end-of-game comeback.
All the next three batters could generate, though, was a Hayes sacrifice fly to center for one run-one short of another miracle. Game Winning RBI-LaBreque, E-Hayes, LOB-Harvard 2. Boston College 4 2B-Baldauf, LaBreque CS-Bluestone S-Hayes
