Senior designated hitter Michael Rytelewski (Brick, N.J.) scored the opening run in the bottom of the first when senior right fielder Matt Scherer (Havertown, Pa.) hit the grounder through the legs of the Swarthmore third baseman. Sophomore center fielder Greg McDonough (Ambler, Pa.) also scored on the play to give the Pride a 2-0 advantage.
