Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 GETTYSBURG, Pa.--Swarthmore College Softball split a doubleheader with first-place Gettysburg College on Sunday, losing the first 2-1 and winning the second 7-3.

The Garnet (17-11 overall, 7-7 Centennial Conference) gave the Bullets (15-13, 10-2) their second conference loss of the season.

Swarthmore has now split four straight doubleheaders against Centennial opponents.

Game One: Gettysburg 2, Swarthmore 1

Senior Emily Bowman pitched all six innings for the Garnet, but Swarthmore wasn't able to overcome the 1-0 deficit it faced after the first inning.

In fact, Swarthmore didn't a score a run until sophomore Emilie Morse drove in sophomore Gabriella Natoli on a single in the sixth inning.

Game Two: Swarthmore 7, Gettysburg 3

Two big innings proved to be the difference in the game as Swarthmore plated four in the third inning and three in the sixth.

A double by sophomore Kennedy Kings gave the Garnet a 2-1 lead. Morse and sophomore Kalli Segel singled to score runners in that same inning.

In the sixth, junior Marit Vike came up with the bases loaded, and she cleared them on a triple to left field.

Bowman pitched 5.2 one-run innings and earned the win in this one, bringing her record to 5-5. Freshman Lucy Decker came on to pitch 1.1 scoreless innings in relief.

Vike, Morse, Segel and freshman Victoria Overbeck all had two of Swarthmore's 13 hits.

The fifth-place Garnet remain very much alive in the race to compete in the Centennial playoffs. They've got two games at fourth-place Haverford College on Tuesday beginning at 3 p.m. That will wrap up conference play for Swarthmore. The Fords are 7-5 and also have to play second-place McDaniel College twice.
