Brown sparkled in a complete-game, one-hit shutout, ringing up six and retiring 18 straight batters.

Harvard had two hits in the first three innings before getting on the board in the top of the fourth.

Freshman Mariel Sena walked and advanced to second on Shiotani’s fielder’s choice. Krysiak’s single helped Sena make it to third safely, and Schellberg flew out to bring Sena home.

The only other hit of the game came in the seventh, when Schellberg hit a single to right field. The co-captain leads the team with a .321 average.

QUINNIPIAC 3, HARVARD 2

Given the way the Harvard offense started out on Saturday afternoon, it seemed that its 10-game losing skid would finally come to an end. But the Crimson squandered two leads to let the hosts take the win.

The game sprung to life in the second inning when Harvard scored its first run of the day.

Ferri was up first for the Crimson. She struck out but advanced to first on an error. A wild pitch by Quinnipiac sophomore Heather Schwartzburg allowed Ferri to get to second, and the rookie came around on groundouts from junior Emily Henderson and Shiotani.

It didn’t take long for Quinnipiac to respond with a run of its own after an illegal pitch allowed the Bobcats’ Katie Allendorfer to reach home plate.

Shaw saw a chance to break the tie and sent the ball out of the park in the third inning for her first home run of the year.

But Quinnipiac rallied once again, plating a pair of runs off Ferri in the bottom of the inning to take the 3-2 lead.

Both teams were then quiet for the rest of the afternoon, as Bobcat reliever Heather Schwartzburg struck out nine in four innings.
