...Whitton was also the Crimson starting pitcher. As in her previous two starts, she managed to pitch herself into a difficult situation by walking a pair of batters, and then find a way to escape fairly unscathed.

...Whitton followed up Amberg's surprise with a round-tripper of her own, a towering fly ball over the left-center fence. It was Whitton's third home run of the year, and the second time Harvard had hit back-to-back home runs this season.
