Baseball Falls to California Baptist in Series Opener, 5-1

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Senior right-handed pitcher Gio Colasante did not allow an earned run over 5.0 innings in the start, but Harvard University baseball fell to California Baptist University, 5-1, in the series opener on Friday night at James W. Totman Stadium.
 
Opening a four-game series at the outset of Harvard's spring recess, the Crimson (0-10) did not give up a run in six of the team's eight defensive half innings, but the host Lancers (15-4) scored four runs in the fourth and one in the eighth to take the decision.
 
Colasante allowed four runs – all unearned – on three hits and four walks with four strikeouts while first-year right-hander Davis Kahn, senior right-hander Jack Smith, and senior left-hander Brian Dowling combined to throw 3.0 innings in relief, giving up only one run on two hits and two walks with one strikeout. 

Harvard Highlights

  • Senior right-handed pitcher Gio Colasante did not allow an earned run over 5.0 innings in the start, giving up four unearned runs on three hits and four walks with four strikeouts.
  • First-year right-hander Davis Kahn threw 1.0 scoreless inning in relief, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks.
  • Senior right-hander Jack Smith gave up just one run over 1.1 innings, and senior left-hander Brian Dowling did not allow a hit, run, or walk in 0.2 innings.
  • Senior shortstop Jack Rickheim posted a hit, a run, and a walk.
  • Senior third baseman Jordan Kang tallied an RBI.
  • Junior second baseman Tyler Shulman and sophomore left fielder Gavin Smith each notched a hit while Shulman added a walk.
  • As a pitching staff, Harvard permitted just one earned run and five hits. 

How It Happened

  • Gio Colasante did not allow a run or hit over the game's first three frames.
  • CBU then plated four unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth, scoring once on a throwing error before bringing in three runs with a double to right center.
  • The Crimson cut the margin to 4-1 with a run in the top of the sixth. After Rickheim walked with one out, he moved to second on a single from Shulman before later coming home following a ground ball from Kane.
  • The Lancers scored once more in the bottom of the eighth on a sacrifice fly to take a 5-1 edge.
