Pitchers Pull Double Duty

Despite having only a 2-2 split to show for it, the Crimson posted its most impressive offensive performance of the Ivy season.

In the four games, Harvard averaged more than nine runs and 10 hits per contest, while also smashing 11 home runs.

Sophomore Zak Farkes and Mann led the way with four each, while Hendricks added two and sophomore Lance Salsgiver hit one. In the midst of it all, several Crimson sluggers crept up the record books.

Farkes claimed sole possession of the Harvard single-season home run record with his first dinger of the series, which gave him 11 for the season. His final homer of the weekend gave him 22 for his career, also a new Harvard record.

Mann’s four homers gave him 10 on the season, tied for the second-most in a single season, behind Farkes. Hendricks’ pair gave him 20 for his career, putting him in third place all-time in the career books.
