Philly Leader

The University of Pennsylvania baseball team is set to begin its Ivy League play this weekend against Harvard. The series will take place at Tommy Lasorda Field at Meiklejohn Stadium in Philadelphia, with a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday and a single game on Sunday.

Penn enters the series following four consecutive victories, including a sweep of Lafayette and a significant win over Lehigh. "Well, the #QuakeShow had no issues with the last four games," reads part of the team's recent performance summary. Ryan Taylor has been a standout player, leading the offense with notable statistics including three triples and five RBIs in recent games.

Harvard, still seeking its first win of the 2025 season after 13 losses, will be Penn's opponent for this Ivy opener. Despite their current record, Harvard has faced strong teams such as Northwestern and Michigan State early in their schedule. Key players for Harvard include Matt Giberti and George Cooper, who lead various offensive categories.

On the pitching front for Penn, several players have shown improvement. Freshman Sebastian Haggard leads with 21 strikeouts while Noah Millikan has become a key starting pitcher for series openers.

All three games between Penn and Harvard will be available to stream live on ESPN+, with Cory Nidoh providing commentary. Fans can also follow live stats online.
