The Muhlenberg baseball team scored nine runs in the fifth inning and went on to win at Haverford, 14-4.
The Mules (13-16, 2-9) were already up 2-0 before sending 14 batters to the plate in their biggest inning of the season. They had only four hits in the frame but took advantage of two errors, four hit batters (one with the bases loaded) and two walks (one with the bases loaded).

Trevor Virno and
Danny Monzo hit two-run singles in the inning, while junior
