GAME TWO
• Score: Johns Hopkins - 3, Swarthmore - 8
• Records: JHU (12-11) • SWAT (10-14)
• Pitching Decision: W: Webb (1-0) • L – Dillard (2-4)
• The Short Story: Five baseballs left the yard on Friday afternoon in Baltimore, but the Blue Jays were on the wrong side of a 8-3 contest with Swarthmore. 

How it Happened
• Starting Pitchers Matthew Dillard and Matteo Sollecito both retired the first three batters they faced in a breezy first inning before the Garnet lineup struck against Dillard. Matthew Silvestre and Paul Cooke both took the senior right-hander deep for solo shots to put Swarthmore on top 2-0 in the second inning. 
• The Blue Jays had an answer via the long ball in the second as Jared deFaria got on base with a one-out walk for Hopkins before Tripp Myers left the yard to tie the contest at 2-2. Myers' homer was a slicing line drive to left center field, his fifth longball of the year.  
• SWAT tacked on runs in the third and fourth to jump back on top and extend the lead to 4-2. In the third, the Garnet got a pair of infield singles and used strong base running to manufacture a positive opportunity. With runners on second and third, Austin Burgess grounded out to short, scoring a run to make it 3-2. In the fourth, Nate Jbara hit a blast to left center, putting the Garnet on top by a pair of runs. 
 • Shawn Steuerer led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a titanic blast to left, nearly nailing the video board to cut the deficit to 4-3. A single from deFaria chased the Swarthmore starter, Sollecito, but Owen Webb retired the next three batters. 
 • Dillard's outing came to a close in the top of the sixth inning with the Garnet tacking on two more in the inning. Burgess doubled to left center to start the frame. A pair of walks loaded the bases and Jbara nearly cleared the bases with a double, scoring two as the third runner held. Jonah Offman entered the game for Hopkins, walking his first batter, but retiring the next three to minimize the damage. 
 • The Garnet added two more in the ninth, getting a double, a Blue Jay error and a SAC fly to help take an 8-3 victory in Baltimore. 

Inside the Box Score
• AJ King was the only hitter with multiple hits in the contest, going 2-4 with a double at the plate. Today's game was just the third time the Jays were held to six hits or less. 
• Myers' homer gives the Blue Jays four players this season with at least five home runs. Steuerer took the team lead with his sixth in the fourth inning. Myers, Matthew Cooper and Jack Pausic all have five. 
• Offman threw 4.0 innings out of the bullpen, allowing three hits, one earned run and striking out three to lower his ERA to 4.20. 
• The Garnet got 6.0 scoreless innings out of their bullpen, allowing just three hits and no walks.

What's Next
• The Jays will head to Carlisle, PA tomorrow morning for an afternoon doubleheader with the Dickinson Red Devils.
