PORTLAND, Ore.—Swarthmore College Baseball's trip to the Pacific Northwest began with a split in the first two games of a three-game series with Lewis & Clark College. Swarthmore took game one 4-1, but fell 11-10 in extra-innings in game two. The game two loss was Swarthmore's first setback on the season (5-1 overall). Swarthmore tallied 26 hits across the pair of games including two home runs.

GAME ONE: Swarthmore 4, Lewis & Clark 1
Ricky Conti had another strong performance, improving to 3-0 while striking out four batters and scattering four hits. Adam Schauer got the hold in middle relief while striking out two, and Jack Corkery earned the save after going one-two-three in the bottom of the ninth.

AJ Liu had two RBIs, including an RBI double to right center in the third inning. Swarthmore would later score runs on a groundout, an error, and a fielder's choice.

Matt Palmer made good contact in game one and batted 3-for-4 with two runs scored.

Freshman Coleson Hebble recorded a triple in the win.

GAME TWO: Swarthmore 10, Lewis & Clark 11 (10 in.)
Swarthmore cranked two home runs in the third inning with freshman Michael Sepe hitting his first collegiate home run. Charlie Levitt homered later in the inning, a two-run shot.

Cole Beeker brought in a pair of runs with a bases-loaded single in the top of the fourth. Swarthmore added one more the inning when Jared Gillen hit an RBI-double down the left-field line.

Swarthmore led 8-5 going into the ninth and added two more runs on doubles from Beeker and Kenji Yoshii. 

Lewis & Clark, however, had some last-inning heroics and tied the game at 10-10 with a grand slam. A double in the 10th inning brought home the winning run. Corkery took the loss on the mound.

Swarthmore looks to win the three-game series on Sunday. First pitch is at 3 p.m. (ET).
