Baseball Sweeps Two From Columbia

Freshman outfielder Mark DiGesu picked up an RBI single and junior outfielder Justin Berti walked to put the tying run on first with the bases loaded.

Beating out the throw to first, freshman third baseman Nick Solaro added an RBI infield single to cut the Crimson's lead to 9-7 with bases still loaded.

Crockett forced another ground ball but could not pull off the double play as Columbia scored again to make it a one-run game.

With two away and the tying run on third base, sophomore infielder P.J. Moynihan flew out to right field to seal a 9-8 win for the Crimson.

Madden (2-0) picked up the win and Crockett got the save as Harvard rallied from an early 5-0 deficit to defeat the Lions.

"With 11 home runs in two games, you've got to keep your pitches low," said Madden, who pitched five innings of one-run ball. "I just tried to keep the balls away so they wouldn't get jacked out of the park."

Lentz started the comeback in the bottom of the fourth, doubling to deep center and then scoring with two outs when Catsam threw the ball into the outfield as Lentz attempted to steal third base on a wild pitch.

Carmack added another run in the fifth off an infield single by Llanes that was bobbled by the third baseman to cut Columbia's lead to 5-2.
