SOFTBALL: Emmerson Slams Two Bombs, Riley Throws No-Hitter
Swarthmore freshman Melissa Emmerson hit two home runs and sophomore Kathryn Riley added a home run and pitched no-hitter as the Garnet swept Captial and Wilson on the second day of competition at the 2008 Sea Gull Tournament hosted by Salisbury Sunday. The Garnet completed their 10-game spring break road trip with an even 5-5 record, defeating Capital 8-3 in the morning and then rolled past Wilson 17-0 in the afternoon. It is believed to be the 7th no-hitter in school history and the first in 20 years (Barbara Schaefer had four in 1988).

BASEBALL: Gill, Sinemus Combine For Shutout
Returning from their spring break trip, Swarthmore baseball (6-3) shut-out the City College of New York 17-0 on Sunday afternoon at the Clothier Fields. Garnet sophomore pitchers Jimmy Gill (Lewes, Del. / Cape Henlopen) and Zach Sinemus (Short Hills, N.J. / Millburn) shared the shut-out against CCNY, who led all of Division III in hitting last season (.368 team batting average).

WOMEN’S LACROSSE: Vachal Leads Hat-Trick Party
Swarthmore freshman Amy Vachal tallied her fourth hat-trick of the season in the 15-4 win against Moravian (2-2) in women’s lacrosse action at the 2008 Tri-Co Invitational Sunday afternoon at Clothier Field.
