Madden (2-1) had trouble in the early-going, surrendering two runs in the bottom of the first after facing just three batters.
After that point, however, Madden settled into a groove, retiring twelve of the next fourteen batters he faced.
Madden's effectiveness during the middle innings allowed Harvard a chance to get back into the game.
In the bottom of the second, the Crimson capitalized on that opportunity, pulling across a pair of runs to tie the game at 2-2.
With one out, Carter laced a single to right and advanced to third when junior center fielder John O'Donnell reached on a throwing error by B.C. shortstop Mike Hubbard. Junior left fielder Joe Llanes then brought Carter home with a groundout to second base.
O'Donnell scored later in the inning on a wild pitch by Eagles starter Erik Olson.
Harvard eventually moved into the lead in the top of the fifth. Sophomore shortstop Mark Mager led off the inning with an infield single and moved to single on another error by Hubbard.
