For Catsam, who went 2-for-3 in the first game of the doubleheader, the solo blast was only his second career homer. The first also came in a meeting with Harvard, back on April 3 of last season.
In his two-year career, Catsam has hit at a miserable.228 clip (23-for-101). But for whatever reason, in his four career games against the Crimson, he is 6-for-11 with the two homers.
Before Catsam's dinger stole the show on Saturday, Harvard's pitchers had turned in an impressive afternoon. In fact, if not for an error at by Carter that produced two unearned runs, the Crimson might have entered the fateful ninth inning in the lead. Instead, sophomore starter Kenon Ronz received a no-decision, despite throwing 6.1 innings and fanning five.
Carter later atoned for his costly fielding miscue, blasting a solo homer in the sixth and lacing an RBI single in the eighth to tie the game 2-2.
But that accounted for all of the Crimson's scoring, as Harvard went down in order in the visitors' half of the ninth, paving the way for Catsam's heroics in the home half of the inning.
HARVARD 14, COLUMBIA 0
