Runs Aplenty Open Year

Hendricks finished the game 3-for-5, while Farkes, Klimkiewicz and freshman outfielder David Bach each had a pair of hits.

TEXAS TECH 30, HARVARD 8

Immediately after roughing up the Harvard pitching staff in the first game of a doubleheader, the Red Raiders racked up 12 runs in the first 3 1/3 innings to chase senior Mike Morgalis (0-1) from the mound on their way to an emphatic 30-8 victory.

Texas Tech scored runs in every inning but the second—and plated more than five runners in four separate frames—to rack up the highest single-game scoring total ever by a Harvard opponent.

The Crimson allowed 25 runs two seasons ago in a loss to Dartmouth.

Right fielder Madison Edwards paced the Red Raiders, going 5-for-6 with a home run and five RBIs.

Hendricks led the Crimson with three hits, while Farkes and Herrmann both homered in the loss.

TEXAS TECH 18, HARVARD 6

Sparked by a seven-run third inning, the Red Raiders cruised to an 18-6 win over Harvard in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, pounding out 11 hits in two innings off of the Crimson’s ace Hendricks (0-1) in the process.

Already leading 7-4, Texas Tech put six straight men on base to open the third, leading Harvard coach Joe Walsh to pull Hendricks for sophomore Javier Castellanos. But three-hole hitter Michael Mask welcomed Castellanos to the game with a three-run homer. It was one of three homers for Mask during the game.

For Harvard, Hendricks, Mann and Klimkiewicz all homered, while sophomore right fielder Lance Salsgiver was the only player with two hits.

HARVARD 25, AIR FORCE 20

Talk about opening your season with a bang.

In an offensive explosion unparalleled in Harvard history, the Crimson rapped out 20 hits—including five home runs—in a slugfest win to open its season Saturday morning.

“I don’t think any one of us could expect to hit that well in our first game,” Mann said.
