Baseball Battles No. 11 Boston College, Falls in Beanpot Championship Game, 5-4

BRIGHTON, Mass. – Junior Ben Rounds hit a two-run double as part of a four-run fifth that gave the Crimson the lead, but Harvard University baseball fell to No. 11 Boston College, 5-4, in the championship game of The Baseball Beanpot on Tuesday night at Eddie Pellagrini Diamond at the Harrington Athletics Village.
 
The Crimson (11-17) came back from a 3-0 deficit to take a 4-3 lead in the fifth inning and remained tied with the nationally ranked Eagles (22-9) heading into the ninth inning before the hosts walked off with the win in the bottom of the ninth.

Harvard – which advanced to the Beanpot title game for the 14th time in team history – moved to 9-3 over its last 12 games with the result.
