Walsh showed confidence in his sophomore, letting Crockett work the full nine for his fifth career complete game and his second of the season. Crockett allowed one earned run on eight hits, striking out eight and walking just one. Crockett's strikeout-to-walk ratio on the year is 19-2.

Harvard's ninth-inning rally was textbook smallball. Franey worked a four-pitch leadoff walk and moved over on Binkowski's sacrifice bunt. Lentz then beat out a ground ball to deep short to put two men on for Bridich, who turned on Boehle's inside fastball and one-hopped it off the left-field wall.

Lentz was 3-for-5 with two RBI and drove in Harvard's first two runs with a monster triple to right in the first.

Lentz drove in the game-winning runs in both halves of Saturday's doubleheader in Ithaca, N.Y., while Nyweide and Madden went deep on the mound to give the Crimson a sweep on Ivy opening day.

Lentz stroked a two-run single in the top of the first in the opener for the Crimson's only runs, then hit a two-run triple in the top of the ninth in the nightcap, giving him four RBI in the doubleheader.

In Game One, Nyweide (2-2) was the workhorse, going 5.2 innings while allowing six hits and Cornell's only run, an RBI single by designated hitter John Osgood in the bottom of the sixth. He also struck out six and trimmed his ERA to 3.71. Nyweide was 0-3 with an 11.74 ERA as a mid-week starter last year.
