Harvard freshman lefthander T.J. Sevier was impressive mopping up, retiring all five of the batters he faced, striking out one. Sevier is 0-1 with a 4.05 ERA this year.
Harvard 6, Princeton 3, 9 innings
Harvard managed a season-high 15 hits--10 off Tiger starter Ryan Quillian and five off loser David Boehle (1-1)--but couldn't capitalize until Bridich drove a two-run double over left fielder Jon Watterson's head to score Franey and Lentz and break a 3-3 tie. Bridich then stole third and scored when Hildreth's throw skipped into short left field.
Bridich, who also had a run-scoring single in the third, finished 3-for-5 with three RBI.
"The at-bat before, I was struck out on a curveball in the same situation, so I was thinking about it," Bridich said. "I was looking curveball and he hung one up and it was just nicely timed."
Harvard almost didn't need extra innings. Crockett (2-0) was within a strike of burying Princeton 3-2 in seven and had retired nine straight, but Watterson capped a two-out rally with the Tigers' third straight bloop single, scoring pinch runner Mitchell to make it 3-3.
Crockett then battled in the eighth, striking out third baseman Eric Voelker with runners on first and third and two out to preserve the tie.
