Sophomore infielder Catherine Callaway led the team with three hits in the contest, along with scoring a run and driving in an RBI.

In the circle, Cabe notched the first win of her sophomore campaign, throwing all seven innings, allowing three runs on seven hits.

HARVARD 8, WICHITA STATE 0 (5 innings)

The opening game of the weekend proved to be Harvard’s strongest performance, as the team outperformed the Shockers (7-7) en route to an 8-0 win.

The Crimson tacked on a run in each of the two opening innings, but was able to break open the door in the fourth, scoring six runs to seal the game by mercy rule.

Leading the Harvard offense was senior shortstop Emily Gusse, who had three hits in the game, including the game’s only triple. Freshman outfielder Maddy Kaplan and Callaway both homered for the team, with Kaplan tallying two RBIs.   

“This weekend showed us a lot about the team that we’re shaping up to be and what we need to work on,” Gusse said. “We’re starting to figure out what works out together in the time before we start conference play. In reality we want to use all 22 of our players and we’re trying to find the best way to make that happen.”
