During the bottom of the eighth, Bryant hit four more singles and scored three more runs.

In the top of the ninth, the Crimson had a man on base but was unable to capitalize on the opportunity.

“We’re just not able to put the three main components of the game together,” Walsh said. “Pitching, defense, and hitting. Today we didn’t have any of those three, and you’re not going to win too many baseball games when that happens.”

Despite the loss, there were still some positive outcomes from the game.

“It was a good day for the younger guys who don’t get much playing time to go out and get their chances and get more experience on the field,” captain Tyler Albright said.

Even after a rough start to Harvard’s season, it still has a chance to improve, as the team is only a quarter of the way through Ivy League play.

“There are some great kids on the team and everybody is working hard,” Walsh said. “We have a bunch of good ball players. We’re just not getting anything out of it so far this year in terms of winning and being able to play up to our capabilities.”
