HARVARD – Carlie Gabrys hit a two-run, one-out double in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift Harvard’s softball team to a 7-6 victory against Hampshire on Wednesday in Big Northern Conference East Division play.

Gabrys was 1 for 3, and teammate Sam Hereley was 2 for 4 with two triples and a run scored.

Maty Brincks earned the win, scattering five hits, four strikeouts and three walks in seven innings.

“I think it was a good team win,” Harvard coach Will Benson said. “Everyone contributed in some way offensively and defensively.”

Randi Blazier was 2 for 3 with a run, and Brittany Finke was 2 for 2 with two runs for the Hornets (13-8 overall, 4-4 BNC East).

Grace Jakubowski was 1 for 3, and Christina Potempa was 2 for 4 with two doubles for Hampshire (5-16, 2-5).
