The Crimson strung together four runs in the fourth to tie the game at 4-4, fashioning two of Columbia's six errors into three unearned runs. Sophomore leftfielder John Portman delivered a sacrifice fly, while Carey's double and freshman third baseman Mark Mager's infield single kept the rally rolling.
Lennon (1-1) gave the lead back in the bottom of the fourth, surrendering an RBI single to catcher Jason O'Reilly then a second home run to Aswad in the fifth, getting stuck with his first loss of the season.
Harvard rallied from a 9-4 deficit in the top of the seventh off Wayne, getting RBI singles from Mager and senior centerfielder Andrew Huling plus a sacrifice fly from senior catcher Jason Keck and had the go-ahead runs on board with two out for senior second baseman Peter Woodfork.
Woodfork, who leads the team with a .419 batting average and 26 hits, worked a 2-2 count but bounced into a game-ending 6-4-3 double play, perfectly symbolic of Harvard's frustrations on the afternoon.
Harvard 9, Columbia 1
The righthander baffled the Lions with a seemingly effortless complete-game three-hitter, facing just three over the minimum and striking out five.
Crockett (1-1, 6.06 ERA) showed off a high-80s fastball with excellent location and good movement and also threw his curveball effectively for swinging strikes. He breezed through the game in just one hour and 45 minutes.
