BALTIMORE–Runs were hard to come by for the Swarthmore College baseball team (18-12, 2-6 CC) on Saturday, April 16 as the Garnet fell 10-3 and 12-0 to the homestanding Johns Hopkins Blue Jays in a Centennial Conference doubleheader.

In game one, Roy Walker drove in two runs and Wesley Fishburn recorded two hits, including one home run, while Ryan Burnett and Cal Barnett-Mayotte also scored. Charles Groppe fell to 4-3 on the season with five strikeouts and nine runs, only four of which were earned, in 6.1 innings.

Hopkins led 3-0 before Swarthmore got on the board when Walker's sac fly to left field plated Barnett-Mayotte. Fishburn hit a solo shot to right in the fifth inning to make it a 7-2 game and Walker singled in another run in the seventh, but the Blue Jays answered with three more in the bottom of the frame to effectively put the game out of reach.

The nightcap also belonged to the hosts as they limited to Garnet to five hits and scored 12 runs on 12 hits of their own. Sophomore catcher Jaron Shrock finished 2-for-4 in the game and Aidan Greer hit his first career double in the ninth.

Swarthmore remains on the road for another conference doubleheader on Sunday, April 17 against the Gettysburg Bullets. The twinbill, which was originally scheduled for April 9, will begin at 12:30 p.m.
