Groom shouldered the loss in the first game and was relieved by Ruiz in the fifth inning.
Groom finished with two strikeouts, five walks, and six earned runs.
Harvard was down, 5-0, at the top of the third before three solid innings of hitting put the Crimson ahead, 7-5, at the end of the fifth. RBIs from five different Harvard hitters, including three from Lange, helped to put the Crimson ahead going into the final two innings.
Harvard was unable to keep its lead, though, as runs from the Big Red’s Laeufur and McGivney tied up the game going into the final inning.
After three runs in the top of the seventh from Cornell, the Crimson had the chance to rebut but was unable to score any runs.
Harvard now sits at .500 in Ivy League play going into the final few weeks of the season.
“I think we minimally wanted to be at .500 after playing the other division,” Allard said. “So it’s going to be tough, the next few weekends are going to be a dogfight, so we have to play our best.
