Franey followed with a RBI-double to the triangle in center field, and advanced to third on a groundout by junior right fielder Scott Carmack.

With junior designated hitter Scott Hopps at the plate, Harvard coach Joe Walsh then made a gutsy call, sending Franey with the pitch as part of a suicide squeeze play.

Hopps executed the play to perfection, laying down a well-placed bunt just in front of home plate. Franey crossed the plate with ease, putting the Crimson up by two.

The Harvard lead would not last long, however. By the bottom of the fifth, the Eagles had figured Madden out.

In that inning, B.C. got singles from its first three batters, producing one run and putting runners at the corners. Eagles right fielder Mike Quirk then hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring home the tying run.

Designated hitter Steve Langone followed with a double to the left field corner that plated the Eagles' fifth run.

At that point, Harvard senior Matt Devine relieved Madden. Devine eventually closed out the inning, but not before B.C. scored its sixth run, which eventually proved to be the game-winner.

Though the Crimson managed to cut the deficit to 6-5 with a run in the sixth, the Eagles added two more runs in the bottom of the inning off Crimson reliever Justin Nyweide to seal the win.
