Coastal Carolina snapped a 1-1 tie with three runs in the seventh inning to knock off Harvard, 4-1, in the Crimson's final game at the Buzz Classic in Atlanta.

Harvard pitcher Suzanne Guy had pitched five scoreless innings before the Lady Chanticleers (17-21) finally got on the board with a run in the top of the sixth, courtesy of an RBI single by right fielder Danielle Jenkins.

Then, with two outs and the bases empty in the top of the seventh, Coastal Carolina strung together four hits that, together with a wild pitch by Guy, led to three Chanticleer runs.

Coastal Carolina starter Lauren Yates then set the side down in order in the Crimson half of the seventh to earn her fifth victory of the year against twelve losses.

SW MISSOURI 8, HARVARD 0

Southwest Missouri State third baseman Jessica Gorham went 3-for-3 with three RBI to lead the Bears past the Crimson, 8-0.

The mercy rule was invoked in the sixth inning when Harvard failed to score after Southwest Missouri State (16-16) erupted for five runs in the top half of the inning.
