The first three pitchers in the lineup last night mirrored the group used by Harvard in the first round of the Beanpot against UMass, as senior Dan Berardo, junior Jonah Klees, and senior Andrew Hatch saw action in that order during both games.
Unfortunately for the Crimson, this group of Harvard pitchers had a less dominant night, allowing four runs.
Though Harvard was able to silence the Eagles’ bats in the seventh and eighth innings, BC doubled its lead to finish out the ninth.
In the ninth inning, the Crimson made three pitching changes, using sophomores Matt Doyle and Zach Olsen and senior Zach Hofeld. Despite the changes, the Eagles converted four more runs in the ninth, to put Harvard in its final eight-run hole.
BC accumulated 12 hits to Harvard’s seven on the night, and five Crimson errors helped the Eagles to the shutout.
In spite of the loss, the Crimson relished the opportunity to play under the lights at Fenway.
“It was a very cool opportunity to play at Fenway, especially under the lights,” Albright said.
“It was definitely a cool experience getting all of the kids an opportunity to play at Fenway,” Colton continued. “It’s an extra competitive experience that we like to have. It’s a lot of fun and I hope the red sox keep letting us play there."
