THE FACTS
Swarthmore (31-9) 2, No. 14 Gettysburg (36-5) 0
What: Centennial Conference (CC) softball tournament semifinal
When: Saturday, May 3
Where: Swarthmore, Pa.
THE SKINNY STORY
Swarthmore scored a pair of unearned runs in the third inning for the game's only offense, defeating No. 14 Gettysburg 2-0 in the semifinals of the 2025 Centennial Conference tournament.
THE LEADERS
•
Carlie Goldstein (Verona, N.J./Verona) had one of the three hits on the day for the Bullets.
FOR THE FOES
• Emily Bertrand had two hits for the Garnet, including a two-run single for the game's only runs.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• After Gettysburg loaded the bases but could not score in the top of the third, Elisabeth O'Connor reached on a throwing error on a bunt attempt to lead off the bottom of the frame. After she stole second, an infield single from Iris Barone put runners at the corners. Barone then stole second before a two-out Emily Bertrand beat out a single up the middle that was kept on the infield with a diving attempt but both runners scored.
THE INSIDE STORY
•
Paige Forry (Reading, Pa./Schuylkill Valley) went the distance, scattering just five hits and striking out five with no walks and did not allow an earned run.
• Swarthmore advances to Sunday's championship game as the 2-0 team in the double-elimination tournament.
NEXT UP
Gettysburg takes on Ursinus in an elimination game in the tournament later on Saturday. Frist pitch is slated for 2 p.m.
