The Big Red scored an additional insurance run in the inning on Raul Gomez's RBI single. Cornell junior Brendan McQuaid went the distance against Harvard, allowing one run on six hits while matching Crockett all the way.
Harvard finally got over the hump in the afternoon, scoring a big 17-5 win to split the two-game series with Cornell. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Harvard. It also marked the third consecutive occasion Harvard split a weekend double-header with an Ivy League opponent.
Harvard erupted for seven runs in the fifth inning to put the game out of reach. Junior third baseman Nick Carter delivered his team-leading fifth home run of the season. Carter is hitting .335 for the season and has asserted himself as the team's number one performer on offense. Though the
team committed three errors in the win, the outpour of offense was an uplifting capper to the weekend.
