Softball Falls to Princeton in Series Finale, 5-1

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sophomore Lauren Bobowski hit an RBI single in the fifth to bring the Crimson within one run before Harvard University softball fell to Princeton University, 5-1, on Sunday afternoon at Soldiers Field in the series finale of the three-game set.
 
Completing its first home Ivy League series in over 1,000 days, the Crimson (9-13, 3-3 Ivy) pulled within 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth on Bobowski's RBI prior to the visiting Tigers (11-10, 5-1 Ivy) scoring three insurance runs in the top of the sixth.
 
Sophomore pitcher Anna Reed tossed a complete-game 7.0 innings, permitting just two earned runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts.
 
For the series, junior Allison Heffley hit .571 (4-for-7) with one run and four walks for a .727 on-base percentage, Bobowski went 4-for-10 (.400) with two runs and an RBI, and senior Morgan Melito finished 3-for-9 (.333) with four RBIs and a triple.
 
In Sunday's series finale, after the Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first off a home run from Adrienne Chang, Reed did not allow an earned run the rest of the way. The Crimson cut the margin in half in the top of the fifth as Bobowski sent a single up the middle, and junior Kaitlin Lampson scored from second, evading the tag at home plate. The Tigers then plated three unearned runs in the top of the sixth to close the scoring.
