B.C. 9, Harvard 1
The early game seemed to end as quickly as it began, as Harvard's mental mistakes and hot BC bats combined for eight runs in the first two innings.
The Eagles rally was sparked by freshman Jacqui Goodchild, who singled to reach base. She broke the single season BC record for hits, and now has 60 on the year.
After a walk and double steal, sophomore third baseman Lisa Fischer
doubled to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead. Sophomore first baseman Qalison Erbig bunted, and a four-base error on the part of the Crimson allowed her to round the bases.
Senior ace Chelsea Thoke tried to come out and shrug off the four-run deficit, but the Crimson gave up four more runs.
The big strike was a three run home run off the bat of sophomore shortstop Cara Blumfield. Her three-run dinger gave BC a 7-0 lead. The Eagles would add another run on a Fischer double.
Harvard leftfielder Lisa Watanabe started the rally for the Crimson's lone run on the day in the third. She doubled and moved to third on a passed ball. Freshman third baseman Breanne Cooley brought her in with a single up the middle.
