The defeat at the hands of Brown gave Harvard its 10th league loss of the season. Before this year, Harvard had lost a combined 10 league games in the previous four seasons.
Harvard 3, Brown 2 (9 innings)
Sophomore hurler Ben Crockett (4-4) earned the win for the Crimson, pitching 1.2 scoreless innings of relief.
Crockett had entered the game in the top of the eighth in place of freshman starter Kenon Ronz.
Ronz had worked the previous 7.1 innings, allowing just six hits and two runs, neither of which were earned.
The first of those two runs came in the top of the second. Brown shortstop Dan Kantrovitz started the inning with a double, moved to third base on a passed ball, and then scored on a groundout by first baseman Shaun Gallagher.
The Crimson, however, responded in the bottom of the inning, when sophomore second baseman Josh San Salvador smacked a two-run homer over the wall in right field.
