After Carmack had stolen third and Lentz was hit by a pitch and awarded first, sophomore Nick Carter flew out and sophomore Josh San Salvador hit into a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning.

Unlike Harvard's sluggish start, the Catamounts were able to score in each of the first three innings.

Vermont senior center fielder Wade Rikert, who had advanced to third on a wild pitch, scored on Michael Cole's RBI groundout to short in the first inning to get the Catamounts out to a quick 1-0 lead.

In the next inning, Wade's twin brother Kyle drove in designated hitter Jeff Barry with a single to right. Vermont's scored again in the third inning when Wade Rikert scored on a RBI single by senior first baseman Josh Tehonica to give the Catamounts a 3-0 lead.

After the third inning however, Nyweide cranked up the intensity and struck out seven over the last six innings while retiring the side in order for the last four.

The Crimson now turns its attention to finishing the season strong against UMass tomorrow on the road and against Brown at home on Friday.

Coach Walsh explained his strategy heading into the final games of the season.

"All we have to do is score a run in every inning. If we have nine runs and can hold the other team to eight, then we'll win the game. That's my coaching philosophy," Walsh said.
