Thoke smacked one home run against Brown on Saturday and one against Yale on Sunday. She now has four on the season, and her strength at the plate has earned her a spot in the line-up even when she isn’t on the mound.

What was not expected was the second-inning blast to left field that propelled Harvard to a 6-2 win.
