Baseball Wins Sixth-Straight with Series Opener Over Ursinus

SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The Swarthmore College baseball team opened its two-game set against Ursinus College with a 4-2 victory on Tuesday afternoon. The Garnet picked up their sixth-straight victory as they moved to one-game over .500 for the first time since Feb. 26. 

Austin Burgess had a stellar day at the plate with a pair of doubles and the go-ahead RBI as he extended his on-base streak to 21 games. Emmet Reynolds also came through with a massive two-run homer to left field in the seventh inning.

On the mound, Jeremy Jensen opened the game with 2.2 shutout innings as he appeared in his third-straight game without allowing a run. Zach Camp earned the save with three solid innings of work as the senior struck out six batters, while allowing just one run. Rohan Cherukuri also tossed two stellar innings in a winning effort. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Swarthmore struck first with one run in the third inning. Luke Mutz opened the rally with a one-out double to left field. Mutz then stole third base and scored on a Paul Cooke bunt single, 1-0. 

- Ursinus tied the game with a run in the fourth inning, but Owen Webb entered the game and kept the go-ahead run at second base with an inning-ending strikeout. 

- Burgess regained the lead with a double to left-center field in the fifth inning. The Garnet then responded with a pair of runs in the sixth inning on a two-run homer from Reynolds, 4-1.
