Baseball Beats Dartmouth in Series Finale, 9-1, Sweeps Weekend Series

HANOVER, N.H. – Sophomore right-handed pitcher Sean Matson tallied a career-high 10 strikeouts over 8.0 innings, the Crimson totaled double-figure hits for the third time in three games in the series, and Harvard University baseball defeated Dartmouth College, 9-1, on Sunday afternoon at Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park.
 
Closing out the three-game set, the Crimson (11-16, 7-2 Ivy) broke the game open with five runs in the fifth and two runs in the sixth on its way to the series sweep of the Big Green (1-23, 0-9 Ivy). Harvard improved to 9-2 in its last 11 games, extended its winning streak to six games, and captured its third Ivy series in as many weekends to open its conference slate.
 
In the win, Matson posted career highs in innings (8.0) and strikeouts (10), giving up one run on three hits and walking none. Senior left-hander Tim Williamson came on for the ninth, throwing one shutout inning, while allowing no hits, with no walks and one strikeout.
 
Junior Ben Rounds led the way offensively for the Crimson, going 3-for-4 with a walk and three RBIs. Senior Will Jacobsen compiled a 2-for-4 effort with a walk and two RBI, and senior Logan Bravo tallied a hit, a walk, and two RBIs.
