This weekend breathed life into the hopes of Harvard softball, as forces conspired to put the Crimson in a three-way tie in the loss column atop the Ivy standings.
Harvard (18-18, 9-3 Ivy) hopped, hooted, and hollered its way to a sweep over Brown and Yale. The vociferous Crimson squad never went silent, encouraging each other to four wins.
The Crimson's clutch performance kept it even in losses with Dartmouth (16-14, 9-3) and Cornell (29-14, 11-3). Harvard got help from Princeton, as the Tigers split with the Big Red and gave Cornell its all-important third Ivy defeat.
The Crimson needs to sweep the Big Green in order to force a playoff with Cornell. The defending champs head to Hanover to take on Dartmouth next Saturday.
Brown
The Bears (6-30, 3-9) dropped two against the Crimson, as the Harvard hurlers also led the way at the plate.
