In all, the Harvard pitchers allowed seven earned runs on nine hits, while striking out six.
"Our pitching's been good," Carter said. "But we haven't been as good as we have to be."
Early in the game, Harvard had several opportunities to score more runs than it did. On too many occasions, however, the Crimson failed to come through in the clutch.
In the top of the first, three walks by Olson loaded the bases for Harvard with two outs. Hopps, however, popped out to short to end the inning.
The Crimson threatened again in the fourth inning, when sophomore second baseman Faiz Shakir, one of Harvard's hottest hitters, strode to the plate with the sacks full and only one out.
B.C. reliever Mark Sullivan, however, got Shakir to ground into a tailor-made 6-4-3 double play to escape from the inning unscathed.
The Crimson stranded eight runners overall.
