The Harvard offense had Groom’s back. It immediately scored four runs in the top of the fourth inning on three hits, including Davis’s home run. The Crimson also received a little help from the Brown defense, which surrendered two errors in the inning.
“I had a couple decent outings, but I really felt support behind me,” Groom said.
Harvard never lost its lead, pushing across two more runs in the seventh after a leadoff triple by freshman Zoe Galindo to seal the game.
Regan also had two hits in this game and sophomore Katherine Appelbe had two RBI to match Davis’ team-high in the contest.
“Haley is seeing the ball really well,” Kasey Lange said. “The same thing for Stephanie Regan.”
