The catcher from Corvallis, Mont., whose two-run shot in Game 4 brought his season total to 10 home runs, has now tied the former single-season Harvard home run record, passed on Saturday by Farkes.

Farkes one-upped Mann with a three-run jack, a missile that continued to rise as it hit the trees beyond Red Rolfe Field’s left field fence roughly 330 feet away, in the fifth—and which broke the Harvard career home run record of 21.

Grant (4-3) took the loss for the Big Green.

DARTMOUTH 13, HARVARD 10

Riding a wave of offense—included during the day were 27 hits and 30 Harvard runs—not seen in Cambridge in weeks, the Crimson was done in, ultimately, by a devastating Dartmouth top of the ninth in Game 2 of the doubleheader.

Up 10-7 going into the inning with Hendricks on the mound, prospects for a Harvard Saturday sweep looked bright. But that was before three-run homers by two of Dartmouth’s best hitters, Brian Zurhellen and Scott Shirrell, powered a six-run Big Green ninth to win the game 13-10.

The home run by Zurhellen after the first two runners reached base was the set-up, tying the game at 10 and reenergizing the Dartmouth dugout.

But the follow-up by Scott Shirrell—a Crimson-killer ever since he hit three home runs and drove in 14 in a game against Harvard in 2002—was the backbreaker.

“I’ll be glad when he graduates,” Walsh said of Shirrell. “The kid’s a hell of a player.”

With two outs and a 3-2 count on Shirrell, the Dartmouth senior blasted a Hendricks fastball over the fence in deep left field, throwing the visiting Big Green faithful into a frenzy.

Up three runs in the bottom of the inning, Dartmouth closer Nicholas Peay retired Harvard’s middle of the order to seal the win.

“It wasn’t like we went out and lost the ballgame,” said Walsh, whose bullpen was stretched thin by high pitch counts and tough ball-strike calls in the late innings. “Give them some credit. The kids hit a couple of two-out homers.”

Even though the Crimson appeared dejected after the loss, few were surprised by Dartmouth’s break-out potential.

Led by Ed Lucas, batting .458 going into Saturday’s games, the Big Green entered the weekend leading the Ivies in runs, hits, doubles, total bases and batting average. Dartmouth was also tied with Harvard for the league lead in home runs.

“Give them some credit,” Walsh said.
