In the sixth, Penn once again took a commanding lead, but freshman catcher Elizabeth Shively’s first career home run in the bottom of the seventh shifted the momentum back in the Crimson’s favor.

The game come down to the wire as it was tied in the bottom of the eighth inning after freshman infielder Meagan Lantz drove in a run to make the score 10-10.

With two outs and Lantz in a position to score, it was up to junior Bay Shore, N.Y. native Panariello to finish the game. The second baseman delivered, lacing a walk-off single to right field to win the game.

“Having Giana come in and get the game-winning hit was just really clutch,” Galindo said.

HARVARD 4, COLUMBIA 3

The second game in Friday’s doubleheader was another close matchup as the Lions pushed the Crimson defense all seven innings.

Columbia sophomore infielder Taylor Troutt drove in two runs with a homer over the right-center fence in the first inning to give the Lions a 2-0 advantage over Harvard.

The Crimson would not respond until the fourth inning, as sophomore outfielder Dallas Hogan, junior infielder Savannah Bradley, and Lantz all drove in runs to put Harvard up, 3-2.

Troutt would come up big again for Columbia in the top of the fifth inning with a double to bring the score to an even 3-3. However, Kaplan’s sacrifice fly to center field in the following inning allowed Rich to cross the plate and secure the victory for the Crimson.
