The majority of offensive production for the Chanticleers came from the middle of the lineup—the two-through-six hitters accounted for all 10 RBIs.

All three Crimson pitchers to take the mound struggled to contain the Coastal Carolina offense. Junior pitcher Sam Dodge gave up five runs, including three earned, before he was pulled in the fourth inning.

Martin served as the bright spot for the Crimson in the loss. The only Harvard player to total more than one hit, the center fielder contributed three singles and a stolen base.

OHIO STATE 11, HARVARD 0

In its first game of the weekend, the Crimson failed to muster the necessary offense and fell, 11-0, to the hot-hitting Buckeyes (8-4).

Harvard had no answer for Ohio State junior pitcher Jaron Long, who tossed a complete game, three-hit shutout. The Crimson was unable to work the count as Long pounded the strike-zone all day long, finishing at only 87 pitches.

Only two Harvard players managed hits on the day. Freshman designated hitter D.J. Link reached a five-game hitting streak with two singles and senior first baseman Rob Wineski also contributed a base knock.

Coming off a scoreless outing last weekend against Bucknell, senior pitcher Matt Doyle struggled on the mound, allowing six earned runs in four innings. The three Crimson relievers who followed Doyle could not stay out of trouble and each surrendered at least one run.

Ohio State received a big performance from freshman third baseman Jacob Bosiokovic, who went four-for-five with a pair of two-run homers to left field. Bosiokovic accounted for six RBIs and scored twice.
