Washington & Jefferson completed a weekend sweep of the Bearcats with an 8-3 victory at Bearcat Ballfield in Presidents' Athletic Conference baseball action.

Saint Vincent and Washington & Jefferson began the game with a pitching battle. Neither team allowed many base runners through the first two innings and no runs were scored.
 
W&J crossed the plate first after putting runners on the corners with only one out. The Presidents drove in the runner from third on a deep sacrifice fly to right field. Dylan Pietrantoni worked his way out of the inning giving up only one run and held the Presidents to a 1-0 lead after two and a half innings.
 
SVC couldn't get much offensive production throughout the first four innings and the Presidents then extended their lead in the top of the fifth picking up five runs on five hits.  W&J loaded the bases with no outs and drove in the second run of the game on another sac fly. The Presidents ended up clearing the bases and scoring four more in the inning to give them a 6-0 lead over the Bearcats.
 
The Bearcats responded in the bottom half of the fifth, picking up two runs on a series of hits.  Jason Vater scored the first SVC run on a wild pitch.  SVC picked up their next run from an RBI single off the bat of Brennan Hoffer, reducing the Bearcats' deficit to 6-2.
 
W&J added another run in the top of the sixth inning to give them a 7-2 lead.
 
SVC got the run back in the bottom of the seventh inning off a home run to left field by Aaron Burger. The home run cut W&J's lead to 7-3, but the Presidents would then earn another run in the top of the ninth inning to make the score 8-3.
 
The Bearcats were unable to comeback from the five-run deficit and W&J took the game after nine innings by a final score of 8-3.

Pietrantoni worked five innings and took the loss.  Collin Laguzza worked 2.1 scoreless innings in relief for the Bearcats. Riley Groves (5-2) picked up the win for W&J, while Joe Vita earned his second save, working the final three innings.
