A five-run Crimson lead vanished after the Dragons put up a four-run fifth inning, but Harvard secured the victory when Bettinelli drove in Rachel Goldberg for a two-run cushion in the bottom of the sixth.

The second half of the double bill was canceled due to lightning with the Dragons up 3-2 in the third inning.

But the Friars’ Michelle Willette hit a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the inning to give Providence the win. Cecily Gordon and Virginia Fritsch each went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a double and Lauren Bettinelli went 7 1/3 giving up five earned runs on five hits.
