About Harvard
In the first weekend of Ivy League play, Harvard kept pace with
defending league champion Dartmouth by splitting doubleheaders at
Princeton and Cornell. The Crimson received some impressive
pitching performances during the weekend and a 2-to-1
strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Will Keuper highlighted the weekend out of the bullpen with 5.0
shutout innings of one-hit baseball at Princeton in what was a
12-inning affair. Keuper struck out six and did not walk a batter
while allowing just an infield single.
Eric Eadington threw eight strong innings in a 4-2 win over
Princeton with five strikeouts against just one walk.
On Sunday, Brent Suter got the victory in a 12-6 decision at
Cornell with seven strikeouts in six innings of work.
Offensively, Harvard got on track with a team batting average of
.305 thanks to some monster efforts from Sean O’Hara (.538,
three sacrifices), Kyle Larrow (.467, 8 RBI) and Tyler Albright
(.400).
Larrow went 3-for-5 with five RBI in the first game at Cornell,
hitting his first career homer and adding an RBI triple. Larrow and
O’Hara played prominent roles in Harvard’s 4-2 win at
Princeton as O’Hara had a two-run double and a pair of
important sac bunts while Larrow drove home the game-winning run
with a double and an insurance run with a suicide squeeze.
For the season, Jeff Reynolds leads the team with a .315 batting
average while O’Hara (.299) and Larrow (.297) follow close
behind. Dan Zailskas has also had a fine early season with a .292
average.
About Bryant
Bryant is in its second season as a Division I member. Last season,
the Bulldogs posted an impressive 32-22 record in their first
go-around while playing as an independent.
This year’s team has won six straight following starts of 0-6
and 3-13.
Nick Campbell (.330), Kevin Brown (.326, 10 2b, 3 HR), Dylan Stone
(.326) and Jeff Vigurs (.318, 15 RBI) lead the team
offensively.
Brent Almeida (1-0, 4.76) could be tapped to start on the mound for
Bryant after earning a win with 5.1 innings of work against Marist
last Wednesday. John Michael Ryan (0-3, 6.63) is the only other
non-weekend pitcher to have started a game this season.
