Juniors Catherine Callaway and Jillian Leslie recorded Harvard’s only other hits on the day. Callaway doubled to lead off the second inning for Harvard, her third of the season.
Cabe finished her start in four innings, giving up three earned runs and seven hits while striking out three. The loss dropped Cabe’s record to 6-3 on the season. Duncan came on in relief and limited the Rams to one run in two innings of work.
Lantz and sophomore Alexa Altchek stole a base each, but neither steal led to a run for Harvard.
The second game of the doubleheader, in which Harvard had a double-digit lead, was called due to darkness and declared a no contest.
Although this unfinished game has no bearing on the standings, the team is using it as a positive indication of Harvard’s potential.
“The second game. . . was how Harvard softball should always show up to play,” Galindo said. “That's what our offense is capable of.”
