Things only got worse for Ronz in the next inning. Apparently trying to work his pitches inside a bit more, Ronz hi t two batters and missed Lentz on a third pitch before he was taken out in favor of fellow sophomore Brendan Reed.

Reed didn't fare much better. He was able to get out of the inning but began to fall apart in the third, allowing two consecutive singles and a wild pitch that allowed a run to cross the plate. Sophomore Madhu Satyanarayana came in to replace Reed and fired one past Hopps two batters in. Satyanarayana eventually settled in and pitched the duration of the seven-inning game, allowing only one additional run in the sixth.

The Crimson bats could get nothing off of John Burns. The starter for the Huskies-who entered the game with a 12.00 ERA-scattered seven hits while going the distance for Northeastern.

Harvard had its opportunities. Hendricks grounded into a double play with men on first and second with one out in the second inning, and the Crimson failed to get any runs out of a similar one-out, first-and-second situation in the fourth.

It took two Northeastern miscues to bring Harvard's first run across. Pena dropped a Javy Lopez fly ball to open the bottom of the fifth, an error that landed Lopez on second base. He later trotted home from third on a balk by Burns to break the shutout.

The other Crimson run scored in the final frame, when senior Scott Farmer brought freshman Marc Hordon home from second with a sharp single off the third baseman's glove.

Walsh left the field upset with his team's overall performance at the Beanpot.
