...inning giving up an RBI single and another unearned run before keeping the Big Red scoreless in the final three innings. “She has been outstanding in relief for us,” Allard said.The Crimson batters then went to work narrowing the gap. In the top of the fourth Harvard put up three runs to cut the margin in half. Freshmen Caitlin Bowers knocked an RBI double to center field and senior Danielle Kerper drove in two more runs with a two-out homer.

The Crimson had been trailing from the beginning of the first frame. Harvard closed the gap to tie with the Chargers eight times before Rosier put the Crimson on top—and for good. With the momentum finally in its favor, the Crimson kept hold of its lead to close out the stanza, 30-27. With Kuld serving, Harvard went on a five-point run early...
