Sullivan Leads the Way in 18-Run Slugfest Over Ursinus

SWARTHMORE, Pa. - All nine starters crossed the plate as the Swarthmore College baseball team dominated the first game of a two-game set versus Ursinus College,18-2, on Tuesday afternoon.

Aidan Sullivan led the charge as he reached base in all five plate appearances. The first-year went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with a home run, two triples and a single for a career-high five RBI. 

Matthew Silvestre and Emmet Reynolds also added a pair of RBI on the afternoon. Nine different players drove home runs for the Garnet as they combined for 10 extra-base hits. 

Matteo Sollecito pitched five strong innings to earn the victory for Swarthmore. The senior surrendered two runs on four hits and struck out one batter. Joshua Rankey was also excellent in relief as he blanked the Bears for three-shutout innings.
