“I think for him it was just getting out there,” Herrmann said. “We’re definitely not worried about him.”
Wilson finished with three RBI and junior Josh Klimkiewicz went 2-for-4.
HARVARD 17, BETHUNE-COOKMAN 3
A Friday storm in rainy Daytona delayed the Florida arrival of Harvard’s much-hyped offense, but not for long.
Mann got things started Saturday with his first home run of the season—a third-inning three-run blast following a Griff Jenkins RBI single—and Wilson delivered four RBI in a 3-for-5 breakout performance.
Klimkiewicz added three hits and two RBI—and in the process, raised his early-season batting average to .500.
“He’s coming around,” Herrmann said. “He hits it hard.”
Starter Javier Castellanos (1-1) coasted through four innings, yielding one unearned run and only two hits for the Crimson. It was his first start since No. 17 Louisiana-Lafayette roughed him up in Minneapolis last weekend.
