Baseball Takes Good with the Bad in Opening Weekend

Northwestern 11, Harvard 6

In one of the Crimson's more disappointing outings this weekend, Harvard jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two innings, but five errors in the field allowed Northwestern to creep back into the game.

After tying the game with five runs of their own in the third, the Wildcats put the game away by scoring seven times in the next four frames.

Harvard starter Justin Nyweide was the victim of the shoddy fielding. The junior righthander went four innings and allowed seven runs, only two of them earned.

Offensively, Llanes and sophomore catcher Brian Lentz each collected three hits on the afternoon, while Carmack and Carter added two apiece.

Despite those impressive individual efforts at the dish, however, the Crimson squandered a number of scoring opportunities. Harvard stranded 11 runners in the loss.

One true bright spot in the game for Harvard was sophomore righty Ryan Tsujikawa, who threw 2.2 innings of hitless relief.

By the time he entered the game, however, the damage was already done.
