HARVARD 7, DARTMOUTH 6

Propelled by a six-run offensive outburst in the seventh inning, the Crimson rallied late in the game to record its first win of the weekend in Hanover.

The inning commenced with a hit batter and a single from senior infielder Katie Lantz, setting up Del Conte with a chance for an RBI. Del Conte delivered, poking a single through the infield to cut the deficit to 5-2.

Two batters later, Davis lifted a pitch over the fence with two runners on, pulling the Crimson even. Back-to-back hits from senior infielder Adrienne Hume and Appelbe later in the inning brought in two more runs, giving Harvard the lead.

Dartmouth came back with a run of its own in the bottom of the seventh, but Ricciardone got senior Kristen Rumley to fly out to center field to end the game.

“They’ve been an incredible team,” Allard said. “A lot of this team’s success has had to do with being resilient and being tough, and that showed in the games we were able to take this weekend.”

DARTMOUTH 1, HARVARD 0

After the Big Green scored in its first at bats of the series, the scoreboard went silent for the remainder of the contest.

In the bottom of the first, Dartmouth manufactured its lone run after leadoff hitter Katie McEachern was hit by a pitch and stole second. With two outs, outfielder Karen Chaw singled off of Ricciardone, bringing McEachern around to score.

The Crimson offense was able to muster only four hits throughout the game, with two coming off the bat of senior shortstop Emily Gusse.

Riccardone suffered the loss, pitching all six innings while striking out four and walking none.
