In the opening contest, Harvard got in a hole early but showed it had the tenacity to come back, winning 6-5 as Goldberg again contributed with a clutch late-inning hit to plate the Crimson’s winning run in the seventh.

Goldberg singled in classmate Sara Williamson to give the Crimson the late lead, and Guy pitched a solid seventh for her second victory of the weekend.

Guy came in for Brotemarkle, who relieved Whitton in the second after Yale tagged her for two earned runs. A low throw home on a bases-loaded chopper back to the mound yielded a third. After Brotemarkle came in to face one batter, Guy came in and stymied the Bulldog rally.

“I hadn’t pitched in two weeks, and just wasn’t hitting my spots,” Whitton said. “Suzanne came in and was great in relief.”

In a 4-0 hole in the fourth after another Yale run, Harvard scored four of its own to knot the score.

Again, Koppel’s bat got the Crimson going. With Whitton reaching on a single, Koppel sent a Shayna Filson offering over the fence.

“It felt good to get started up again at the plate,” Koppel said. “But the really impressive part of the games was the great team effort. Everybody contributed, one through nine.”

With the deficit at 4-2, Harvard continued its rally with a string of singles and Yale errors to tie the game.

The teams traded runs in the fifth, and the stage was set for Goldberg’s late-inning heroics.

“Every inning was a battle against Yale,” Whitton said. “We went out there and played hard, and got some really clutch hitting.”

Harvard 4, Brown 2

Harvard hopped out to an early lead and never looked back in the second game against Brown on Saturday.

With Guy starting on the mound, the Crimson supported her cause by scoring three runs in the third inning.

Again, Goldberg was central to the Crimson’s rally, as her consistent hitting from the ninth spot put her on base for the heart of the order. Whitton brought her in with a single to give Harvard a 2-0 lead. After adding another, Guy had all the runs that she would need.
