Leading 10-4 in the top of the ninth, Hopps ensured that there would be no Crusader comeback.

With the bases-loaded and none out, Hopps singled to score a pair while pinch-hitting for Larocque.

The Crusaders scored two in the bottom of ninth, but their rally would fall short as freshman right-hander Matt Self got senior Jeff Miller to fly out to center with runners at the corners.

Harvard hit extremely well under pressure, scoring 10-of-12 runs with already two outs in the inning.

"With two-out, it's important not to think about it," Lentz said. "If you think about it too much, it will mess you up. The most important thing is just not to give up with two away."

The two-out magic is beginning to become a trend for the Crimson.

Facing Columbia last Saturday, Harvard rallied from a 5-0 deficit with seven runs in its last at bat, six of which came with two-outs.

The Crimson face Boston College today before travelling to Yale for four games over the weekend.
