Harvard was not able to overcome this deficit, despite the splendid relief pitching of freshman Jamie Irving.

Irving replaced Davidson and proceeded to retire seven straight BC batters in an amazing ambidextrous show. Irving pitched the third inning right-handed and sent BC down 1-2-3 in the fifth left-handed.

He had tallied three strikeouts when he ran into trouble in the sixth and was replaced by the Crimson's closer, junior Tony Lancette.
