Baseball Tallies Four Home Runs in 18-2 Win over Merrimack

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard University baseball blasted four home runs – its most in a game this season – including two grand slams to power its way to an 18-2 win over Merrimack College on Tuesday afternoon at O'Donnell Field.
 
The Crimson (14-16) plated five runs in the third, five in the fifth, and four in the seventh as part of its season-high run total, while not allowing the Warriors (10-21-1) a hit until the top of the seventh inning in the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
 
Junior Logan Bravo tallied three hits, two home runs – including a grand slam – and a career-high seven RBIs, junior Will Jacobsen registered three hits, a grand slam, and a career-high six RBIs, while also throwing 1.1 innings of scoreless relief, and sophomore Jake Berger notched a home run for the third straight game alongside five runs scored.
 
Jacobsen drove in the first five runs of the game for the Crimson with an RBI double in the first and a grand slam to left center field in the top of the fifth. Following an RBI single from junior Spencer Williams in the third, Berger launched a solo shot to right center in the fourth, making the score 7-0. An RBI single from first-year Sawyer Feller and sacrifice fly from Berger extended the lead to 9-0 in the fifth.
 
Bravo hit the first of his two home runs in the fifth, launching a three-run homer to left center to push Harvard ahead 12-0. His grand slam to left field in the seventh made the margin 16-0. After Merrimack plated two runs in the top of the eighth, sophomore Chris Snopek and Jacobsen each notched RBI singles in the bottom of the frame to close the scoring.
