Baseball Sputters in Florida, Going 2-8

Led by Mann’s three-hit, two-RBI afternoon, the Crimson pounded out 14 base hits, but Harvard still dropped its second straight game to Rutgers and third overall, 15-6.

In addition to Mann, five other Crimson players had multi-hit games. But that didn’t count for much on a day when Harvard’s pitching surrendered 21 hits.

One day after Morgalis was chased out in the third inning by the Scarlet Knights, Ronz only lasted into the fourth.

He was tagged for seven runs, all earned, on 10 hits.

Morgalis’ first decision in a Harvard uniform didn’t go his way.

The Notre Dame transfer allowed six runs in just 2.1 innings as the Scarlet Knights jumped out to a five-run lead and never looked back in a 10-2 win on March 21.

Lentz and Salsgiver each had RBI singles to account for Harvard’s runs. Hendricks and Farkes added three hits apiece as the Crimson outhit the Scarlet Knights 12-11.

Morgalis (0-1) retired the first four batters of the game, but a one-out single up the middle by Matt Woslki was the first of four straight hits in the second inning for the Scarlet Knights.

One hit-batsman and an RBI ground out later, Harvard found itself in a 3-0 hole.

A two-run double led to Morgalis’ exit in the third, but the damage to his line still wasn’t done.

He had one more run charged to him after giving way to junior Jason Brown, who was the first of four Harvard relievers on the day.
