It was more of the same in the third inning.

With Harvard behind 6-0, Vance and Wallace opened the inning with matching singles, and a walk to Klimkiewicz loaded the bases with one out. But Doyle bore down again, striking out Mann and getting Herrmann to ground into an inning-ending forceout.

“We had our chances today obviously,” Walsh said. “We had middle of the lineup guys up with bases loaded and one out. You get a couple of hits there, it might have got us back in the game.”

Wallace finished with two hits, the only Harvard player with more than one.

The senior also provided what may have been the Crimson’s best moment of the day, a diving stab in left field to rob Jared McGuire of a sure double in the seventh.

But it wasn’t enough.

“We just couldn’t put anything on the board,” Walsh said. “That kid just stopped us today. It was a tough day.”

SHORT HOPS

Junior Zak Farkes was not in the dugout for the game. According to Walsh, Farkes was undergoing an MRI on his leg after colliding with Penn’s first baseman during last week’s series against the Quakers. Farkes started as the designated hitter in the first three Ivy games this weekend, before sitting out the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader against Princeton. “It’s been bothering him, so he’s going to see if it’s a stress fracture,” Walsh said. “Hopefully it’s just a bruise. We’re not the same ball club without him.”…The Crimson will return to action at O’Donnell Field this weekend, when it hosts Yale in a pair of doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday.
