Roberts Hits Two Dingers In Garnet Victory

ASTON, Pa. - Swarthmore College Baseball reached the 20-win mark for the third time in the last four seasons by beating Neumann University 12-5 in a non-conference matchup on Wednesday.

Senior Jackson Roberts went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, a walk, five RBIs, three runs scored and a stolen base. His two home runs give him a team-high seven this season and a Swarthmore-record-tying 17 for his career. His senior teammate Charles Levitt also has 17. This was Roberts' first multi-homer game of the season and the third of his career. He had two last season including one three-homer game.

Freshman Luke Mutz also had four hits with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored. He's gone 13-for-27 (.481 average) in Swarthmore's last six games, raising his season average to .325.

Levitt went 2-for-3 and broke a Swarthmore record by clubbing his 13th career triple. He surpassed Patric Staub's record that was set in 1997. He's up to 188 career hits, two shy of the Garnet record of 190 set by Mike Waterhouse in 2012.

The Garnet scored seven of their runs in the first inning on Wednesday and had a 9-0 lead by the third.

Juniors Jared Gillen and Cole Beeker as well as sophomore Michael Sepe also had two hits apiece. Swarthmore had 20 in the game. The Garnet have had 20-plus hits in four games this season.

Swarthmore used six pitchers, and five of them threw one inning. Freshman Kyle Jones-Shah pitched four scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while striking out three. He got the win, and his record is 2-1 this season.

The Garnet return to Clothier Field to face No. 21-ranked Johns Hopkins on Friday at 3:30 p.m. in a pivotal Centennial Conference matchup.
