Kathryn Riley tallied three hits in three at-bats against Muhlenberg on Tuesday.

Swarthmore (1-5 CC) defeated a formidable opponent in Muhlenberg (8-2 CC) in the second game of a doubleheader by a score of 5-4.

The Mules took the first contest by a score of 9-3 on the strength of an 8-0 streak in the seventh.

The Garnet kept both the Mules and blustery conditions at bay in the second game by holding onto a 3-0 lead after a spark in the bottom of the third broke a scoreless start.

Kathryn Riley ’10 improved to 6-5 on the mound for the Garnet, while also leading Swarthmore with three hits in three at-bats in the second game against the Mules.

Lauren Walker ’09 had three runs in the victory against Muhlenberg, all of which were batted in by Riley.

Michele Perch ’10 added two RBIs, while Walker also had three steals to her credit.

After proving their worth against one of the top teams in the Centennial, the Garnet will look to keep the ball rolling when they host McDaniel (11-8, 2-2 CC) for a doubleheader on Saturday at 1 p.m.
