In front of a raucous Big Green crowd at Sachem Field, Harvard swept the twinbill, mounting a sixth-inning rally in each game to win by scores of 7-3 and 6-3, respectively.Freshman pitcher Rachel Brown anchored the Crimson once more, hurling a complete game in the first contest before coming in to save the nightcap. “We went to Dartmouth with a goal to put ourselves in a really good position for [Sunday], and that’s exactly what...
