Payne Racks Up 4 Hits in Harvard's 12-6 Win at Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, PA. -- The Harvard Crimson (10-7-1, 3-0 Ivy) got their third win at Penn to finish the opening weekend of conference play 3-0 as they got past the Pennsylvania Quakers (0-19, 0-3 Ivy) 12-6 on Sunday.

How it Happened

The Crimson put runs on the scoreboard first, starting the scoring in the third inning.

The Crimson then lost some of their lead, expanding on their advantage in the fourth inning after the Quakers cut it to 3-1. The Harvard offense exploded for six runs, highlighted by a two-run single off the bat of Trina Hoang and a two-run double from Madi Mays, which brought the Crimson lead to 9-1.
