PRINCETON, N.J. (Interstat) — Harvard defeated Princeton 11-6 on Sunday afternoon at Bill Clarke Field, completing a three-game sweep of the Ivy League series.

The Crimson, who had won both games of a doubleheader Saturday by scores of 10-3 and 7-5, improved to 11-26 overall. The Tigers fell to 14-27.

Right fielder Liam Wilson led Harvard’s offensive attack, going 2 for 3 with four runs batted in. Catcher Dominic Brancel added a solo home run, a two-run homer and three RBIs, finishing 2 for 4.

The game turned decisively in the top of the fifth inning. With Harvard already ahead 3-0 after a three-run first that benefited from two Princeton errors, the Crimson sent 11 batters to the plate and scored six runs. T. Shulman led off with a single, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by J. Rickheim and scored on a single by J. Kang. G. Colasante followed with an RBI single, and after a walk to M. Witkow loaded the bases, Wilson cleared them with a double to left field, scoring three runs. G. Smith followed with an RBI double, and Brancel added an RBI single. Harvard led 9-0 after the inning.

The Tigers mounted a comeback. In the bottom of the fifth, Princeton capitalized on a Harvard error to put a runner on base, but reliever Davis Kahn worked out of trouble. In the sixth, Princeton scored twice on a two-run single by catcher Will Robbins, cutting the deficit to 9-3. Harvard answered in the seventh when Brancel crushed a two-run homer to left field, scoring Wilson who had walked and stolen second.

Princeton scratched back again in the eighth. After a throwing error by Harvard shortstop allowed a runner to reach, D. Zdunek doubled and B. Kaufman singled through the left side, driving in two runs to make it 11-6. But Harvard reliever Daniel Sams entered and struck out the next two batters to end the threat. Sams worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out four.

Harvard starter Gio Colasante, who also served as designated hitter, pitched four innings, allowing zero hits and one earned run with two strikeouts. Kahn allowed three earned runs over 3 1/3 innings despite giving up no hits, with three strikeouts. The Crimson pitching staff combined to hold Princeton to six hits.

Princeton shortstop Tommy Googins homered in the seventh. Right fielder Jake Koonin went 2 for 4 with a double and a stolen base. Robbins finished 1 for 4 with three RBIs. Parker Codington took the loss for Princeton, allowing two earned runs in 2 1/3 innings. Ethan Hsu pitched a scoreless ninth.

The most critical sequence came in the top of the fifth, when Harvard’s six-run outburst put the game out of reach. Wilson’s three-run double was the key blow, extending the lead to 8-0 and providing the Crimson with a comfortable cushion they never relinquished.

Wilson’s performance continued a strong stretch at the plate. In the previous two games against Princeton on Saturday, he went 2 for 5 with one RBI in the first game and 2 for 5 in the second. He also had a 2-for-4 game against Penn on April 26 and a 1-for-4 outing at Holy Cross on April 28.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Princeton 6, Harvard 2, while Interstat’s ELO system gave Harvard a 50.30 percent probability to win. The actual result saw Harvard exceed those projections by a wide margin, powered by a relentless offense and timely pitching.
