Harvard made some noise in the top of the sixth. Having already scored a run on Portman's single, it had runners on first and second with two outs, but Peter Donoghue fanned freshman shortstop Mark Mager to end the threat.

"We had runners on base in both games," Huling said. "Nobody stepped up."

Henry improved to 2-0 with the win. Dryden, giving up 6 hits and 4 runs--only two earned--in 3.2 innings, took the loss to fall to 1-2. Donoghue earned the save.

Northeastern 6, Harvard 1

The Huskies touched up senior starting pitcher Quinn Schafer for three runs on three hits and an error in the bottom of the second to take a 4-1 lead and cruise to a 6-1 victory.

After both teams traded runs in the first, Husky DH Peter Wysong led off the second with a double. A pair of singles brought him home. Lewis grounded out to advance the runners and a beanball loaded the bases.

A Crimson throwing error allowed two more runs to score. Husky pitchers Greg Kelley and Donoghue shut the door the rest of the way. Donoghue earned the win.

"You always have to give credit to the pitchers when they throw strikes," said Woodfork, who drove in the Crimson's lone run. "But it really was our hitting more than their pitching."

Perhaps the only good news of the day was Woodfork's pain-free play. Second on the team with a .388 batting average he has been fighting an elbow injury the past couple of weeks.

"I'll work hard to get ready in the next two weeks," Woodfork said. "The elbow didn't bother me at all today."
