Yale 8, Harvard 0

Sunday's first game provided the Crimson with a chance to rebound from an embarrassing loss to an inferior team, but they weren't ready for Sudha Reddy.

The senior righthander picked up where McCarthy had left off, dominating the Crimson for nine innings. The dazzling complete game performance by Reddy included seven strikeouts and no walks.

Outside of a 3-for-4 outing by Shakir and 2-for-4 hitting by Franey, Reddy (4-4) allowed only one run.

Sophomore Ben Crockett (3-1) was not quite as fortunate. Last year's Ivy Rookie Pitcher of the year lasted 7.1 innings, but allowed six earned runs on nine hits in losing his first game of the year. Crockett did manage to strike out six, while walking none.

The Bulldogs were able to reach him, though, and this time, they started early. The first batter Crockett faced, Elkins, led off the bottom of the first with a sharp double to left, and left-fielder R.D. DeSantis singled two batters later.

Crockett then threw a wild pitch that allowed DeSantis to advance to second. Coyne followed up with a single up the middle to score Elkins, and catcher Darren Beasley brought DeSantis home to make the score 2-0 Yale.

Yale second baseman Brian Ivy sent a Crockett offering over the left field fence in the sixth to add to the lead, but Yale put the game completely out of reach with a five-run eighth stanza. Coyne's two-RBI triple chased Crockett, and Sevier allowed another RBI single to Beasley.
