With their win streak now extended to six games, the Swarthmore baseball team boosted their record to an impressive 14-6 with a 15-6 win against Keuka College on Monday afternoon.

The Garnet saw themselves trailing 0-2 in the third inning, until a balk and an RBI single from Gregory Cox ’15 brought the score to an even 2-2. The fifth inning saw an offensive burst, as the Garnet scored seven runs off of hits from Danny McMahon ’15, Bryce Codell ’13, and Rory McTear ’13. Keuka surged briefly in the top of the sixth, scoring two additional runs, but the Garnet extended the lead comfortably with two more hits in the seventh and four more hits in the eighth. Joe Warren ’16 pitched five innings, limiting Keuka to only two runs.
