The Game One victory clinched Grove City's spot in the season-ending conference tournament.

Four men produced three-hit efforts in the opener for Grove City, which has outscored opponents 64-15 during its six-game win streak.

Hamilton sparked Grove City's three-run second inning by leading off with a double. Orner singled home Hamilton, putting Grove City up 1-0. Flaming doubled home freshman shortstop Lucca Baccari (Irwin, Pa./Penn Trafford) with the second run of the inning, then scored on Jenks's triple. 

Hamilton's infield single in the third inning drove in Saylor. Baccari gave Grove City a 5-0 lead when his groundout scored Hamilton. 

Bethany cut Grove City's lead to 5-3 in the third but the Wolverines answered with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Saylor singled home Clary in the fourth while Orner came in on a fifth-inning passed ball. In the sixth, Hamilton doubled in Clary to put Grove City up 8-3. Abbott's groundout then scored Saylor.

Hoffman went a career-best 4 for 4 to help lead the Wolverines' 17-hit attack. Abbott, Clary, Lew, Orner and Saylor all had two hits. 

Grove City trailed 2-0 in the third inning but quickly tied the game on back-to-back doubles by Hamilton and Abbott. Bethany reclaimed a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the third but the Wolverines countered with an eight-run outburst in the fourth.

Orner's game-tying two-run double scored Lew and junior right fielder Colton Lineman (Pittsboro, N.C./Northwood). Saylor gave Grove City the lead for good by driving home Clary with a single. Hoffman and Lew both had run-scoring doubles in the inning while Abbott and Lineman each had sacrifice flies.
