WAYNESBURG, Pa. -- The Grove City College baseball team improved to 5-2 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference by sweeping a conference doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Waynesburg University. The Wolverines pulled out a 4-3 win in the opener, then bombed the Jackets in the nightcap, 21-3. 

In Game One, freshman first baseman Mally Kilbane (Olmsted Falls, Ohio/Olmsted Falls) broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the seventh when he singled in freshman second baseman Luke Vittone (Seven Fields, Pa./Eden Christiani) with the game-winning run. 

Senior pitcher Tate Ostrowski (Essex, Mass./Covenant Christian) then pitched a perfect seventh to record his first collegiate save. He preserved the win for freshman pitcher Evan Umland (Pasadena, Calif./La Canada), who threw the first six innings. Umland struck out four and walked one while permitting six hits.

Vittone doubled, singled and scored a pair of runs in the opener while Kilbane also finished 2 for 3.
