Bears Shut Down Batswomen

Crimson Blanked by Brown in Doubleheader, Continues Offensive Slide

The second game was more of a duel between junior pitcher Chris Carr and Blaser, but an early first inning run by the Bears proved to be the difference.

Again, Brown coach Phil Pincicne had his "bread and butter" batters to thank. Fairbanks singled to freshman Jana Meader in center, while Blumer moved her to second and Johansen followed with another stroke to Meader for a 1-0 Brown edge.

Carr, with nine strikeouts, and some adventurous Crimson defense Kept Brown of the scoreboard for the rest of the game.

Harvard challenged for runs more seriously in the second game, getting four singles, but Brown's fielders and Blaser held ground when necessary.

"[Catcher] Shelby Marshall called a great game on the corners and the defense made the big plays," said Blaser. "Some days thing work out and sometimes they hit with runners on base."

Despite its offensive output, Harvard was not too discouraged after dropping to 0-6 in the Ivy League.

"Teams haven't been hitting us that hard and we're excited to finally play good softball," Resnick said. "But, the Ivy League teams have been the most competitive we've faced and we're not quite there yet."

Harvard will have the chance to polish its skills against Southern Maine on Thursday at 4 p.m. In addition to a more prolific attack, the Crimson is also hoping for tempreatures above 35 degrees.
