Berger Homers, Baseball Beats Fresno State, 8-2

FRESNO, Calif. – Sophomore shortstop Jake Berger hit his first career home run, the Crimson bullpen allowed just one hit over 3.0 innings, and Harvard University baseball beat Fresno State, 8-2, on Tuesday night at Bob Bennett Stadium.
 
Competing in its first mid-week game of the season, the Crimson (7-5) opened the game with a 7-0 lead over the host Bulldogs (7-10) as Harvard won its third straight contest during its 10-day, eight-game road trip to the state of California.
 
Berger totaled two hits, two RBIs, and two runs alongside his homer as four Crimson student-athletes posted multiple hits in the game. Junior first baseman Logan Bravo, sophomore left fielder Ben Rounds, and first-year second baseman George Cooper each posted two hits.
 
Junior right-handed pitcher Will Jacobsen earned the win, tossing 6.0 innings and allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts. Sophomore Porter Jordheim, first-year Tanner Smith, and sophomore Chris Clark each threw an inning of scoreless relief.
 
Harvard opened the game with three runs in the top of the first, including RBI singles from Bravo and sophomore Chris Snopek. The Crimson tallied another three runs in the third with another RBI single from Bravo and a two-run homer from Berger. Rounds made the score 7-0 with an RBI single in the fourth. After Fresno State plated two runs in the bottom of the fourth, Harvard closed the scoring in the ninth with an RBI single from Cooper.
