The Muhlenberg baseball team continued to hit and continued to win, sweeping Albright to move to 5-0 on the season.

The Mules took a big early lead in the first game, winning 13-1, and scored late in the second for an 8-3 victory. They are 5-0 for the first time since 2016; before then they had not started a season with five straight wins since 1944. They have scored 57 runs in their first five games, reaching double figures in four of them.

Sophomore Jonathan Toth (pictured above) made history by beginning and ending his day with home runs. He hit a solo home run in the first inning of Game 1 and belted a three-run blast in the seventh inning of Game 2. It's the 14th time in program history that a player has gone yard in both ends of a twinbill. 

Toth's first round-tripper capped a five-run first inning that also featured the first career home run for junior Jake Swerdloff, a three-run shot. Muhlenberg led 5-0 after its first at-bat and tacked on four more runs in the third, an inning that included an RBI double by senior Danny Monzo and an RBI single by junior Caleb Tereska.

The offense was more than enough for junior Quinn Rovner, who tossed six scoreless innings and fanned a career-high seven to pick up his second win of the season. Rovner allowed only three hits, faced only two batters over the minimum, and did not allow a runner past second base.

A two-run pinch-single by sophomore Ryan Riccio highlighted a four-run seventh.

In the nightcap, Muhlenberg trailed 3-0 before erupting for four runs in each of the last two innings.

The Mules had runners on second and third with two outs in the sixth before a single by Toth and a two-run triple by freshman Brendan Bussiere tied the score. Sophomore Nick Whelan followed with a single to give Muhlenberg its first lead.

Senior Ryan Gilbert drove in an insurance run with a double in the seventh before Toth's second home run gave the Mules more breathing room.

Freshman Brendan Hughes pitched four innings in his first career start, facing the minimum nine batters through the first three frames before allowing a two-run homer in the fourth. Senior Will Nomura worked the final three innings to earn his second relief win of the season.

Swerdloff had two more hits in the second game, as did senior Thomas Rodgers. Junior Christian Schwarz went 4-for-7 in the doubleheader.
