Sophomore designated hitter Scoop Ruxin led the team with three hits, while junior first baseman Nicko Burnett, junior second baseman Nick Constantino, junior third baseman Cody Ruben, and sophomore shortstop Danny McMahon each picked up two.  Constantino and sophomore catcher Joe Rizzo each earned two RBIs.

Eight different players finished with at least one hit as part of Swarthmore's 14-hit day.

After falling behind by a run in the third, despite a small-ball first inning run manufactured by McMahon and Constantino, the Garnet took advantage of Muhlenberg mistakes in the fourth to reclaim a lead that they would not relinquish; after sophomore centerfielder Trevor Shepherd reached on a two-out error, back-to-back RBI singles by Constantino and Ruben gave Swarthmore a 3-2 advantage.

In the fifth, the Garnet expanded its lead, as Rizzo singled in two with the bases loaded. McMahon's seventh-inning single capped Swarthmore's scoring; although the Mules attempted to rally in the bottom of the inning, scoring twice, senior Swarthmore starter Ramsey Walker worked his way out of a jam to preserve a 6-4 advantage.

Walker pitched capably over his seven inning of work, allowing three earned runs to pick up his team-leading fifth win of the season.  Junior Matt Bertuch earned his third save of the season with a pair of scoreless innings.

The Garnet will try to turn the win into a winning streak on Friday, as Muhlenberg visits Clothier Field for a rematch.  First pitch is set for 3:30 pm.
