The Muhlenberg baseball team dropped a wild 13-12 loss at Haverford despite two record performances.

Senior Jake Swerdloff homered twice, hitting a two-run blast in the fourth and a go-ahead solo round-tripper in the ninth. After homering in both games of the Mules' doubleheader against Franklin & Marshall on Sunday, he tied a school record for most consecutive games hitting a home run. Five players previously went yard in three straight games, most recently in 2015.

Senior Christian Schwarz also tied a school record with three doubles. A Muhlenberg player has hit three two-baggers in a game six other times, including Schwarz himself against Gallaudet last year. He is the only Mule to accomplish the feat twice.

The Mules and Fords (15-16, 5-6) combined to score in six straight half-innings from the bottom of the third to the top of the sixth in the back-and-forth game. Muhlenberg (13-17-1, 6-5) trailed 5-1 after three innings before scoring three times in the fourth, the last two on Swerdloff's first home run, to cut the gap to one.  

It was 8-6 after five, and the Mules plated three runs in the top of the sixth to take their first lead. Schwarz brought in the first run with his second double, a single by sophomore Brendan Hughes tied the game, and senior Caleb Tereska brought in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly.

An RBI single by Hughes and a fielder's choice scored two more runs in the eighth, giving Muhlenberg an 11-8 advantage.

Haverford scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game and two in the bottom of the ninth to walk off with the win. 

Hughes finished 4-for-4 to raise his batting average in Centennial Conference games to .489. Junior Ryan Riccio (pictured above) drove in a career-high four runs on an RBI single, groundout and two-run single. Junior Jack Kent went 3-for-6.
