Baseball Drops Series Opener to Cal Poly, 5-0

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The Crimson pitching staff did not allow an earned run through the game's first seven innings, but Harvard University baseball fell to Cal Poly, 5-0, in the series opener on Friday night at Baggett Stadium.
 
Opening a 10-day, eight-game road trip to the state of California with the first of four games against Cal Poly, the Crimson (4-4) did not permit an earned run to the Mustangs (6-7) until the eighth inning when the hosts plated two earned runs as insurance.
 
Sophomore shortstop Jake Berger and junior center fielder Hunter Baldwin each posted a double in the game. First-year right-handed relief pitcher Tanner Smith threw 2.0 innings of hitless and scoreless relief with four strikeouts against no walks.
 
Cal Poly scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth – all unearned. The Mustangs tacked on two runs in the last of the eighth on a walk and sacrifice fly.
