With one out, Cirri walked Hordon and sophomore outfielder Chris Mackey, then hit freshmen second baseman Brendan Byrne to load the bases.

Harvard got its first hit in the bottom of the third inning off a bunt from freshman shortstop Julie Kidder, but could manage nothing more until after UMass did more damage...
