Santos (2-0) recovered nicely after coughing up four in the fourth, holding the Crimson scoreless through the eighth. He worked 4.1 innings, allowing seven hits and four earned runs, while walking four.
"Santos got ahead in the count starting in the fifth," Binkowski said. "And he started throwing his slider for strikes. He was throwing it in the fourth, but it didn't have much bite and I think he was nervous, it being Fenway and all."
Senior third baseman Hal Carey had a solid afternoon, going 4-for-5 with two runs scored, while Huling was 2-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI.
Notes
"It's great, I guess," Bridich said. "If we were 1-8 or something, it wouldn't mean quite as much, but it's nice to know that the offense is putting up numbers and I'm helping us win."
Senior righthander Donny Jamieson, who notched a win and a save during the four-game set, was named to the Honor Roll.
The Crimson will face Northeastern tomorrow at 11 a.m. in the third-place game. Harvard routed the Huskies 11-0 in last year's semifinal. Interestingly, both UMass and Northeastern are also on Harvard's regular schedule for next week.
