Harmon struck out of 17 Huskies before tiring in the seventh.

 

“I was looking forward to a perfect game today, but I know it’s not the most important thing. Still, it would be nice to get one eventually this season,” says Harmon.

 

Bulldogs finished off the game with a grand slam by Alexa Hanowski. To date Becker is undefeated his season. It will place them above Albany in the conference standings with a 3-0 record.
