CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Harvard Crimson (21-12-1, 12-3 Ivy) completed the sweep of the Yale Bulldogs (15-17, 7-8 Ivy) with a walk-off 5-4 win in game one and a 5-0 shutout in game two on Saturday. The Crimson have now won four Ivy League series.

GAME 1 | Harvard 5, Yale 4

How it Happened

The Crimson were trailing 3-0 in the fourth inning when they first put runs on the board. Harvard's offense started clicking and put up four runs, including a one-run single off the bat of senior Trina Hoang.
Yale then rallied to tie the ballgame at 4-4 before Harvard walked it off in the bottom of the seventh on Brianna Jewett's one-out RBI double.

• Junior Anna Reed (7-6) got the win out of the bullpen for Harvard. The right-hander went 3.2 innings, giving up one run on three hits, allowing one walk and striking out four.
