ORLANDO, Fla. – The Harvard softball team wrapped up
its weekend at the season-opening UCF Invitational with a 4-0 win
over local rival Boston College. The win moves the Crimson to 2-3
on the season while the Eagles slip to 7-7 on the year.
The Crimson banged out eight hits in the game and Rachel Brown
picked up her second win of the season, firing a complete-game
shutout, allowing just three hits and striking out nine batters.
Harvard got all the offense it needed in the opening frame, plating
two runs on three hits in the first inning. Melissa Schellberg
singled home Emily Henderson for Harvard's first run and
later scored on a Jennifer Francis sacrifice fly to stake Brown to
an early two-run lead.
Ellen Macadam doubled with one out in the fifth and scored on a
Whitney Shaw single down the left field line to push the score to
3-0. Francis drove in her second run of the day with a double to
the gap that plated Shaw for Harvard's fourth and final run
of the day.
Harvard is back in action next weekend at the Amy S. Harrison
Classic, hosted by UC Riverside.
