Offensive contributions from a variety of hitters and dominant pitching from both the starters and the bullpen led Harvard softball (8-6) to four wins at the Loyola Marymount Tournament in Los Angeles, Calif.

“Every single game was a real team effort,” senior Rachel Halperin said. “Our coach has been moving people around a lot. It’s a really dynamic lineup.”

The Crimson concluded the tournament with a loss against the host Lions (17-8) as Loyola Marymount jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first four innings behind eight hits, including three doubles.

Lions junior Rachael Farrington shut out Harvard in the game’s first six innings before sophomore Maddy Kaplan ripped a two-RBI single in the seventh, which was quickly followed by a two-run home run off the bat of junior Catherine Callaway.

The last-inning comeback fell short, however, as Harvard was unable to overcome Loyola Marymount’s six-run lead.

Two doubles and three runs batted in from Callaway provided the offensive spark that pushed the Crimson past Fairleigh Dickinson (2-10) for the second straight game.

Captain Morgan Groom was one out away from recording a complete-game win. The senior from Lowell, Mich. struck out 10 Knights, a career high, while only allowing two runs to cross the plate.

“I think [junior] Taylor Cabe and Groom have been really great,” Halperin said. “They’re very consistent, and I think that has allowed the offense to really lock in and win some games for us, too.”

Freshman Meagan Lantz went deep twice and drove in four, leading Harvard to its third win in Los Angeles. The pair of home runs were the first in the Parkland, Fla. native’s collegiate career.

Cabe improved her record to 6-2 with another win in the circle. In her third appearance of the tournament, the righthander tossed five shutout innings, allowing only two hits and striking out three.

Harvard took advantage of its offensive opportunities in its first game against Fairleigh Dickinson, only stranding two runners throughout the game.
