After an RBI groundout for Dartmouth, Jordan Kelly countered with a sacrifice fly, giving Princeton a 7-1 advantage after six innings.
Dartmouth made one more push, scoring four times in the eighth inning highlighted by an RBI single by Jackson Hower.
Jacob Faulkner closed out the action in the ninth stanza. After a single, the junior closer got a double play and lineout to end the game.
Sean Episcope returned from injury and allowed just one hit over four innings. Andrew D'Alessio earned his third win of the season while Faulkner corralled his fourth save.
The last time Princeton swept Dartmouth on the road was the 2004 Ivy League Championship Series. The last time Princeton swept Dartmouth in back-to-back years was 2002-03.
The Tigers are now second in the Ivy League at 11-7, trailing only Columbia (15-3). Cornell is 10-8 followed by Penn (9-9) and Yale (9-9). Princeton and Columbia face off in a three-game series next weekend (May 4-5).
