Baseball Sweeps Heidelberg for Third-straight Win

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - The Swarthmore College baseball team earned their third-straight victory with a pair of wins over Heidelberg University on Sunday. The Garnet shutout the Knights 10-0 in the opener before completing the sweep with a 4-3 victory in game two. 

The Garnet received excellent starting pitching as Liam Alpern and Joshua Rankey combined for 8.0 innings with one earned run and eight strikeouts. Matteo Sollecito was also strong in four shutout innings of relief with two strikeouts and three hits allowed.

GAME ONE: SWARTHMORE 10, HEIDELBERG 0
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Alpern retired the side in the second inning with two strikeouts as he coasted through the opening two innings. Roffwarg singled to left field to spark a two-run second inning and later came around to score on a two-run single from Emmet Reynolds, 2-0.

- The Knights threatened in the third inning as they put runners on second and third with no outs. Alpern then generated a ground ball to third base to hold the runners before striking out a batter and then inducing an inning-ending flyout to escape the inning unharmed. 

- The Garnet added a run in the fourth inning on a Roffwarg double to plate Xavier Taylor. Alpern then completed his day with a clean fourth inning to hold the Knights scoreless.

- Nate Jbara homered to left field in the fifth inning to expand the team's lead to four runs. Roffwarg added to the advantage in the sixth with an RBI single, 5-0.

- Sollecito escaped some trouble in the fifth inning before retiring the side in the sixth and seventh innings. Swarthmore added a pair of insurance runs in the seventh. Taylor plated a run on a single, while the Garnet scored another run on a throwing error, 7-0.

- The Garnet added an exclamation point to their decisive victory with three runs in the ninth inning. Taylor drove home another run with a single, while the team scored on another throwing error before Roffwarg plated the final run with a single, 10-0.

- Rankey closed out a solid outing with another shutout inning in the fourth. Alex Schoessler then took over in the fifth with a 1-2-3 frame. 

- Heidelberg regained the lead with a run in the sixth inning. The Garnet then answered in the bottom of the frame with three runs.

Swarthmore added their go-ahead run on a sacrifice bunt from Taylor before plating another run on a dropped flyball, 4-2.
