Nyweide worked 2.2 innings, allowing five earned runs on four hits, walking four.

Harvard put together mini-rallies in the fifth and the sixth to narrow the final margin. In the fifth, the Crimson got an RBI double from Freshman utility man Mark Mager and a sacrifice fly from senior center fielder Andrew Huling. In the sixth, senior catcher Jason Keck scored on a wild pitch and Mager collected his fourth RBI of the doubleheader on a fielder's choice.

Mager was 2-for-6 with four RBI and a run scored on the day.

B.C. starter Brendan Nolan (3-1), a high school teammate of second baseman Peter Woodfork and closer Mike Madden at Swampscott High, earned the win, working 5.1 innings and allowing four earned runs on six hits.

Last season, Nolan surrendered a game-winning double to Woodfork in the opening game of a doubleheader at O'Donnell Field.

B.C. 12, Harvard 6

And you thought seven runs in the third inning was a lot?

The Eagles scored all 12 of their runs in the third, getting a grand slam from Langone plus solo and three-run homers from McGowan during a nine-hit outburst which keyed a 12-6 win in the opener.

Madden started and worked two clean innings in the first and second before putting the first seven batters he faced in the third on base. He surrendered Langone's slam and McGowan's first homer of the inning.

Sophomore Mike Dryden replaced Madden and was effective, limiting the Eagles to one earned run on five hits, walking none, over the last four innings.

Madden (1-2) went two innings, giving up seven earned runs on seven hits, all with no outs in the third.

Harvard led 2-0 after two, on the strength of junior designated hitter Jeff Bridich's two-run home run, which also scored Keck.

The Crimson continued to get nice production from Mager, who in the last four games has played shortstop, third base and left field.

Mager hit a two-run triple in the fifth, scoring Carey and sophomore right fielder Scott Carmack. He is now hitting .320 with 13 RBI, and has also stolen five bases.

Huling, second on the team in batting average at .375, helped the Crimson close to 12-6 with a two-run home run, his team-best fourth of the season, in the seventh inning.
