Saylor (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield) went 3 for 4 and drove in four runs while sophomore shortstop Lucca Baccari (Irwin, Pa./Penn-Trafford) doubled twice and scored three runs.

Junior right fielder Anthony Tambellini (Pittsburgh, Pa./Montour) and freshman second baseman Luke Vittone (Seven Fields, Pa./Eden Christian) both doubled and singled. Freshman third baseman Shane Cato (New Castle, Pa./Shenango) and freshman first baseman Mally Kilbane (Olmsted Falls, Ohio/Olmsted Falls) each added a pair of hits. 

Cato opened the scoring in the third inning when he came home on a wild pitch. His squeeze bunt in the fourth inning brought in Baccari. Saylor cracked a two-run single to give Grove City (10-4, 1-0 PAC) a 4-0 lead. Sophomore DH Markus Williams (Sewickley, Pa./Eden Christian) drove in senior left fielder Jesse Clary (Cranberry Township, Pa./Eden Christian) with the fourth run of the inning when he hit a sacrifice fly.

Grove City broke open the game with an eight-run fifth inning. Tambellini doubled in Rodriguez while Saylor and Vittone both had two-run singles. Baccari doubled home Williams and Rodriguez later doubled home Baccari and Vittone. 

Grove City added two runs in the seventh inning as Vittone scored on a Baccari double and senior outfielder Colton Lineman (Apex, N.C./Northwood) later singled in Baccari.

Senior Tate Ostrowski (Essex, Mass./Covenant Christian) earned the pitching win by tossing five shutout innings. He struck out six, walked none and gave up two hits. Senior Robby Randolph (Cranberry Township, Pa./North Catholic) pitched two innings of relief and gave up two runs. Senior Noah Sedmak (Falls Church, Va./Falls Church) allowed an unearned run in the eighth while sophomore Christian Hoffmann (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) closed out the win with a scoreless ninth inning.

The teams will conclude their three-game season series Friday with a doubleheader at Geneva at 1 p.m. The doubleheader had been scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday in Grove City but has been moved up a day due to field conditions in Grove City and Saturday's unfavorable weather forecast.
