GROVE CITY, Pa. -- The Grove City College baseball team improved to 7-6 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference Wednesday afternoon by earning a 15-3 home victory over Saint Vincent at Jack Behringer Field.

Senior first baseman Matt Waugaman (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny) paced Grove City's 12-hit attack by going 3 for 5 with two home runs and six runs batted in. Meanwhile, sophomore pitcher Micah Burke (Gilbert, Ariz./E.V.A.C.) fired eight innings, allowing three runs in earning the victory.

In addition to Waugaman, four other Grove City men posted multi-hit games. Senior shortstop David Laylock (Pittsburgh, Pa./Pine-Richland) doubled and singled while sophomore third baseman Bobby Dulay (Youngstown, Ohio/Ursuline) and senior right fielder Nolan Myers (Landisville, Pa./Hempfield) each went 2 for 4. 

Junior second baseman Cameron Smail (Apollo, Pa./Kiski Area) went 2 for 5, his first multi-hit game of 2017.

Grove City (10-13 overall) grabbed a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Laylock and junior left fielder Tyler Graham (Vandergrift, Pa./Kiski Area) both scored on a mishandled grounder. Waugaman scored the third run of the inning on a sacrifice fly by freshman DH Matt Dayton (Allison Park, Pa./Hampton).

Waugaman blasted a solo homer in the third inning, pushing the lead to 4-0. Smail capped the inning with a two-run single that brought in Dayton and Myers. In the fourth, Waugaman laced a two-run single, extending Grove City's lead to 8-0.

Saint Vincent (10-12, 5-5) cut the lead to 8-2 but Dayton scored the Wolverines' ninth run on a wild pitch in the sixth. In the seventh, Waugaman launched a three-run homer. Grove City added three more runs in the eighth on Dulay's two-run single and Laylock's double that drove in Dulay.

Senior pitcher Cedric Hils (West Homestead, Pa./Central Catholic) pitched a hitless ninth inning in relief of Burke.  

Grove City will visit Saint Vincent for a conference doubleheader Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. in Latrobe.
