Crimson freshman right-hander Brendan Reed (1-1) picked up his first collegiate win, allowing three hits and two earned runs in three innings of work.

Coming in to relieve Reed, freshman left-hander Kenon Ronz retired six of the first seven batters he faced, allowing only one hit in two innings of work.

Sophomore right-hander Justin Nyweide was equally effective, striking out a pair without allowing a run in two innings pitched.

"We have a lot of good pitchers and a lot of strong arm, especially the young guys," Lentz said. "It's important to get them on the mound. Our depth on the mound is going to depend on how fast our freshman develop."

Tri-captain catcher Jason Larocque got things started for the Crimson in the second.

With two-away and a runner on second, Larocque doubled to left to score Lentz and give the Crimson an early 1-0 lead.

After a walk to Binkowski, Llanes took Crusader freshman right-hander Dan Lucey (0-1) deep to left once again with an RBI double.

With a pair of runners in scoring position, sophomore shortstop Mark Mager completed the Crimson barrage with a single to center that scored Llanes and Binkowski to give Harvard a 4-0 lead.
