Vermont 3, Harvard 2
The loss spoiled a fine combined effort from two of Harvard's newest pitchers.
Sophomore righty Barry Wahlberg got the starting nod for the Crimson. After giving up a run on a pair of hits in the first inning, Wahlberg settled in and was touched for just one additional run over the next 4.1 innings.
He was spelled by freshman Trey Hendricks, who impressed through three innings of work, yielding just three hits and one walk. But with the game knotted at two in the home half of the eighth, a Harvard error paved the way for Vermont's go-ahead score.
The unearned run was charged to Hendricks, who ended the day as the tough-luck loser.
For Harvard, junior DH Javy Lopez went 2-for-4. He delivered the Crimson's second run in the fifth when his single to right scored junior second baseman Faiz Shakir, who had doubled.
Junior third baseman Nick Carter plated the Crimson's first run in the fourth inning on a fielder's choice.
