Second baseman Tommy Edman (Stanford) went 2-3 for the Red Sox.

Old Dominion rightfielder Nick Walker went 2-3 with one RBI and shortstop Connor Justus (Georgia Tech) went 1-2 with one RBI and a pair of walks to pace the Harwich lineup.
Y-D Red Sox catcher Nathan Rodriguez drove in a run in last night’s 2-0 win at Red Wilson Field.
