Dartmouth 3, Harvard 2
By contrast, the Crimson would have to rely on freshman Kenon Ronz, who was making only his third start of his collegiate career.
Ronz (1-3) shocked the Big Green with a remarkable performance. Showing outstanding control with his fastball and curve, Ronz matched Brooks pitch-for-pitch for ten innings. Ronz gave up two runs in the first, then held the Green scoreless for a full nine innings before surrendering the winning run in the eleventh.
"His effort on Saturday was maybe the best pitching effort we've had all year," Carmack said. "Except for the first inning, he was almost perfect."
A leadoff double by Big Green shortstop Matthew Klentak in the eleventh forced Ronz out of the game. After advancing to third on a foul out, Klentak scored the wining run on a sacrifice fly off Harvard pitcher Justin Myweide.
Harvard threatened in the bottom of the inning, but second baseman Faiz Shakir grounded out to end the game, stranding a runner on second.
Brooks pitched all 11 innings, striking out 12 while walking only two.
