...bottom of the fourth with a two-run home run by cleanup hitter Bill Scott, but Harvard regained its lead in the next inning as Karp began to lose control. He misfielded a playable ball of the bat of sophomore second baseman Faiz Shakir, and he walked the next batter, Harvard tri-captain Jeff Bridich.
