Baseball Drops Finale at Harvard; Henseler Again Sets Single-Season HR Mark

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For a third straight season, senior third baseman Wyatt Henseler has set a single-season home run record at Penn, launching his 19th of the year in the University of Pennsylvania baseball team's 14-4 loss Sunday at Harvard.
 
The Quakers (17-21, 9-9 Ivy) earned the series victory with two wins on Saturday, but couldn't finish off the sweep against the Crimson (12-24, 8-10 Ivy) on Sunday.

Quaker Notemeal
*Three Quakers had a multi-hit game as Wyatt Henseler (2-for-4), Carson Ozmer (2-for-3), and Qwynn Ahearn (2-for-4) each tallied a pair of base knocks.

*Henseler has a team-high 19 multi-hit games in 2024, six ahead of Davis Baker (13) and seven in front of Ryan Taylor (12). He also increased his reached-base streak to 23 games in a row.

*Not only did he hit his Penn single-season record 19th home run of the year, but it also marked the 51st in the career of Henseler.

*Henseler hit .556 (5-for-9) in the three-game series with three long balls, a double, and four RBIs. With five walks and a hit by pitch, his 1.455 slugging percentage on the weekend, along with an OBP of .706 gives him an OPS of 2.161 in the series.

*Starter Josh Katz (2-4) picked up the loss after allowing four runs on six hits in 1.2 innings. Danny Heintz had a strong showing in his two scoreless innings of relief, racking up four strikeouts and just one walk. 
 
How It Happened
Penn wasted a one-out double from Wyatt Henseler in the very first inning, as the Crimson took the game's first lead in their half of the first after a single through the right side scored a run, capping a three-hit frame against starter Josh Katz.
 
The Quakers quickly answered back in the second as Jarrett Pokrovsky doubled down the left-field line to drive in Carson Ozmer, tying the game at 1-1.
 
Facing both Katz and Will Tobin in the second, Harvard scored four runs—including an inside-the-park home run—on five hits to surge ahead, 5-1.
 
After Danny Heintz limited damage against the Harvard offense in the third and fourth innings, Penn had two solo homers in the fifth from Henseler—which broke the program's single-season record for home runs with 19—and Ryan Taylor to make it a 5-3 game.
 
John Cerwinski continued Heintz's strong outing with a 1-2-3 fifth, as Qwynn Ahearn belted his second homer of the year in the top of the sixth inning to make it a one-run ballgame at 5-4.
 
The Crimson pushed seven runs across over the next two innings on six hits, adding two more against Eli Trop in the eighth to end the day with a 14-4 win.
 
Up Next
Penn closes the book on non-conference play Tuesday at Delaware State at 3 p.m. The game is set to be streamed live on NEC Front Row.
