AUBURNDALE, Fla. -- The Grove City College baseball team improved to 5-0 on its Florida trip by earning a 7-3 win over New York power St. John Fisher at Lake Myrtle Field. 

Senior catcher C.J. Saylor (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield), junior first baseman Markus Williams (Sewickley, Pa./Eden Christian), sophomore third baseman Mally Kilbane (Olmsted Falls, Ohio/Olmsted Falls) and sophomore DH Josh Minnich (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Cumberland Valley) all had two hits for Grove City, which finished with 11 total hits. 

Minnich opened the scoring when he came home on a wild pitch in the second inning. Saylor tripled home Kilbane in the third inning, pushing the lead to 2-0. 

St. John Fisher, a 2021 and 2022 NCAA Tournament qualifier, cut Grove City's lead to 2-1 in the top of the sixth inning. The Wolverines answered with a pair of runs, however, as Williams singled in sophomore pinch runner Sam DiStefano (Fairview, Pa./Fairview) and Minnich scored on another wild pitch.

Grove City then sealed the win with a three-run seventh inning. Saylor singled home freshman center fielder Nick Sampson (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) to give the Wolverines a 5-3 lead. Minnich then laced a two-run single that drove in sophomore third baseman Shane Cato (New Castle, Pa./Shenango) and sophomore second baseman Luke Vittone (Seven Fields, Pa./Eden Christian).

Senior pitcher Tate Ostrowski (Essex, Mass./Covenant Christian) earned his third win of the season by allowing one run in six innings. Ostrowski (3-0) struck out eight men and allowed five hits. Sophomore David Leslie (Butler, Pa./Butler) closed out the victory with a three-inning save. Leslie struck out four and allowed two runs while notching his second save of the trip.
