After dueling with Yale starter Matt McCarthy to a scoreless tie through five innings, Nyweide watched as the Crimson erupted for seven runs in the bottom of the sixth to pull out a 7-0 win and furnish him his first victory of the year.

The win was well-deserved. Nyweide pitched a complete-game shutout, holding Yale to a measly three hits without issuing a walk.

The ample run support was a welcome change for Nyweide, whose brilliant efforts on the mound had gone unrewarded before this weekend. He entered Saturday's game with a mark of 0-4 despite pitching effectively.

"Nyweide has pitched outstanding for us this year," Walsh said before Saturday's game. "Unfortunately, twenty years from now, his son will come to Harvard, look in the record books and see that his father started the season 0-4. I hope he calls me, because I'll tell him: 'Your dad was one heck of a pitcher. We just had nobody swinging the stick back then-I'm sorry'."

History will now remember Nyweide a little more kindly thanks to the Crimson's seven-run uprising. Harvard captain Scot Hopps opened the innning with a pinch-hit double. He later came around on an RBI-single by Mager. Lentz then added a two-run single, and freshmen Trey Hendricks, Marc Hordon and Bryan Hale each added run-scoring singles to cap the inning.

McCarthy, who gave up six runs on six hits in five innings, took the loss for Yale. He falls to 2-6 on the year.
