Also look for sophomore Lance Salsgiver to come in from right field to close out tight games this weekend. The hard-throwing right-hander, who was predicted to be the team’s closer at the start of the season, pitched three stellar innings of relief in the Crimson’s lone win in New Haven, and also saw an inning of work in the Beanpot consolation game.
“My arm is cooperating right now,” said Salsgiver after the Yale series. “I like that coach has enough confidence in me to put me in in tough situations.”
With the Crimson’s season on the line, there couldn’t be a tougher situation.
But at least Harvard will be at home, where it’s a perfect 5-0 on the season.
“We were all joking about [the perfect record] today,” Morgalis said. “A lot of people are excited to be at home. I think that we’ll get some support from the fans, and it’s always nice to bat last.”
