After Zammarelli's single. Harvard starter Cecil Cox retired 11 straight Crusader batters. But a double and a one-out homer in the sixth Holy Cross a 4-2 lead and brought on reliever Doug Sutton.

Sutton retired five straight, then yielded what looked like a routine (if high) fly ball to start off the eighth inning.

Instead, the wind caught Brian Reale's lofter and helped it over the right field fence. An cut and a single later, George Sorbara came on in relief of Sutton.

On a Brian Foley grounder, shortstop Tony DiCesare went for the force at second, but B.J. Flynn beat DiCesare's throw. The runners advanced on a wild pitch, then scored an out later on a single to left.

Down 7-3, the Crimson mounted an eighth-inning rally. Maspons reached third when a fly to deep right blew away from Rick Rabideau. A Vierra single scored Maspons, and a McAndrews hit and a Frank Caprio walk loaded the bases. Ziegler came in to relieve starter Mark Zapatka, and Vallone hit his Texas Leaguer.
