It was IVC's second straight win over Harbor, after beating the Seahawks, 15-1, on Tuesday on the road.
The victories improved Irvine Valley's record to 10-11 overall, while LA Harbor's record fell to 7-14.
LA Harbor got out to an early lead on Thursday, scoring four runs in the top of the second inning off of Irvine Valley freshman pitcher Austin Reynolds.
