The Crimson added two more on McKendry's two-run home run in the fourth, for a 7-2 lead. Harvard got its last run when Abeles scored on Fu's single in the sixth.
The offense was a definite improvement from last week's Georgia outing. This time, the middle of the order showed off its power and ability to get hits with runners on base. The defense complemented Guy's strong performance, knocking down a lot of balls in the infield and saving extra-base hits.
"Of course, there was a considerable difference in competition," Abeles said.
Abeles and Fu were the big hitters on the afternoon, with Abeles going a perfect 2-for-2 and Fu going 4-for-4 with five RBI's. Abeles also scored four runs.
The game was Harvard's first home game and will be the only one until mid-April, since the Crimson travel around the better part of the East coast until then.
The second game of the doubleheader was cancelled due to inclement weather.
"It was nice to just come back to our field and play so well in this bad weather," Abeles said. "It was good we got to play some situational defense with runners on base, because that's the kind of practice we'll need for Ivy League games."
Harvard returns to the diamond next Sunday against St. John's in New York City.
