Marit Vike led the Garnet (8-16, 1-5 CC) with four hits.
After Swarthmore took a 3-0 lead in game one on a two-out Anna Jensen three-run home run in the top of the first, Lindsey Miller (Gettysburg, Pa./New Oxford) singled up the middle to lead off the bottom of the frame.
After she stole second, Payton Lewis (Valrico, Fla./Durant) roped a single to the gap to score Miller for a 1-0 lead.
A two-out Hishon double to the gap scored Lewis to close the deficit to 3-2.
A walk a fielder's choice in the third inning put Jamie Weisser (Chappaqua, N.Y./Horace Greeley) on first base with two outs for Hishon, who roped a double up the middle to tie the game.
Miller led off the fifth with a double to deep center field before scoring on a Lewis single up the middle for a 4-3 edge.
An Olivia Kipe (Manchester, Md./Manchester Valley) single through the left side put runners at first and second with no outs.
Alicia Wagner (Bradenton, Fla./Lakeland Ranch) came through with a pinch-hit single to left field to score Lewis before a bizarre baserunning play resulted in two outs.

A Roxana Aviles (Manassas, Va./Osbourn) RBI groundout pushed the lead to 6-3 before Valerie Lamb (Miami Gardens, Fla./Miramar) worked around a one-out bunt single to finish the game and pick up her fifth win of the year in the circle.
Lamb went the distance, striking out six and walking just one.

In the nightcap, Sara Planthaber blasted a two-out solo home run to once again stake the Garnet to an early lead.
Backt-to-back singles by Miller and Lewis in the bottom of the first and a Kipe walk loaded the bases. Hishon dropped a one-out single into right field to score Miller and Lewis for a 2-1 edge.
A Lewis single and stolen base in the third coupled with a Hishon two-out line-drive double to center pushed the lead to 3-1.
Kipe drew a walk to lead off the fifth before Wagner singled to put runners at first and second.
Wagner gave way to Weisser as a pinch runner before Hishon roped her second double of the game to score both runners and stretch the lead to 5-1.
Deichman followed with a two-bagger of her own to trade places with Hishon before a pair of dropped third strikes allowed Deichman to come around and score for an 8-1 lead.
Weisser worked out of a second and third, no-out jam in the top of the sixth before Miller led off the bottom of the frame with a single through the right side.
After she stole second, Lewis walked. With two outs, Hishon laced her program record-tying third double of the game into the left-field corner to score Miller with the game-ending run.
In addition to Hishon's 4-for-4 performance, Miller and Lewis had two hits each.
