Drexler 2, Harvard 1
Although Fu's blast was equalized in the bottom of the inning, the run was important for Harvard's offense.
"She had a great riseball," Fu said. "I think it taught us that we need to adjust to different styles or it will cost us. We'll be better prepared for the next pitcher like [Swanson]."
Both pitchers maintained control of the game. Swanson turned in a virtuoso performance, striking out 15 hitters in the game. Whitton regained control after a wild second and pitched the rest of the game for the Crimson.
In the bottom of the seventh, Drexel edged out the Crimson on a RBI double by sophomore Cassie Snow.
The Crimson hopes to sustain its strong play against top teams as it heads to Georgia for the Buzz Classic.
