"Everyone has a lot of confidence in the pitching staff," Montijo said. "No matter who it is on the mound, there is no doubt that they are going to keep us in the game. It was just a matter of when we would score yesterday."
URI pitcher Susan Chymbor was not nearly as successful as her Crimson counterparts. Although for the first seven innings, the result was the same--a scoreless tie heading into extra innings.
Chymbor pitched a complete game, surrendering ten hits while striking out six and picking up the loss.
Allowing only a single walk, Chymbor's control prevented Harvard from capitalizing on its opportunities and turning yesterday's game from a nail-bitter into a rout.
Montijo led the Crimson offensively with two hits and the game's only RBI.
Senior first baseman Ghia Godfree was another offensive sparkplug for the Crimson, batting 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles.
Freshman left fielder Tiffany Whitton led off the game with a double, hitting 2-for-4 on the afternoon, and senior third baseman Crystal Springer picked up a double in the second while going 2-for-3 for the plate.
