Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

The Muhlenberg baseball team opened Centennial Conference play by getting swept at Washington College, 8-0 and 2-1.

Senior starting pitchers David Anderson and Matthew Lawsky combined to allow only three earned runs while striking out 11 in 11 innings but received little support.

The Shoremen (9-4, 2-0) used a dropped fly ball, two infield singles, two walks and a hit batter to break open the first game with a five-run fifth inning. Seniors Michael Giordano and Brett Rosen each had two hits, but the Mules (5-8, 0-2) did not get a runner past second base until two were out in the ninth inning.

Senior Nick Plinio had two of Muhlenberg's four hits in the nightcap. He led off the fifth with one of them, a double, and eventually scored on a groundout, cutting Washington's 2-0 lead in half. The game ended with the tying run on third base.
