SWARTHMORE, Pa.--Swarthmore College Baseball swept Stockton at Clothier Field on Sunday afternoon and didn't allow a run in the process.
Sophomore
Sawyer Lake and junior
Ricky Conti were responsible for the 10-0 and 6-0 complete-game shutouts.
The Garnet have won 11 games this season, which is a win total they hadn't reached until April 15 in 2017. Swarthmore has just five losses so far.
Game One: Swarthmore 10, Stockton 0
Swarthmore wasted no time taking a lead as sophomore
Cole Beeker drove in junior
Charles Levitt on a single in the bottom of the first. Sophomore leadoff hitter
AJ Liu as well as Beeker and Levitt each plated a runner on hits in the second inning as well, giving the Garnet a 4-0 lead.
Lake only allowed one hit over the first six frames and just three through the entire game. He struck out a career-high 11 batters while walking just one, bringing his record to 2-1 in five appearances this season.
Swarthmore brought four more to the plate in the fifth inning and two in the sixth. Liu, freshman
Sam Jacobson and senior
Matt Palmer accounted for those RBIs.
For just the second time this season, the Garnet went a full game without committing one error in the field.
Game Two: Swarthmore 6, Stockton 0
Stockton junior pitcher Ray Hughes hadn't allowed a run in 12 innings of work this season entering today's game, but junior
Charles Levitt changed that quickly, striking his team-leading fourth home run of the season over the right field fence in the bottom of the first to score two runs.
It wasn't until the sixth inning that the Garnet would score again and expand their lead to 6-0. Junior
Conor Elliott and sophomores
Holden Bridge and
Jared Gillen scored on errors while sophomore
Kenji Yoshii drove in freshman
Coleson Hebble with a single.
The complete-game shutout was the first of Conti's collegiate career. His nine strikeouts were also a career high.
Swarthmore travels to Widener on Wednesday and Elizabethtown on Friday for single-game outings before returning home to open Centennial Conference play in a doubleheader against Johns Hopkins on Saturday beginning at 3 p.m.
