Bearcats win on Finn blast in 10th inning


Freshman Bobby Finn crushed a two-run home run in the 10th inning to lift the Bearcats to a 5-3, comeback win over the Bethany Bison on the road in West Virginia.

The Bearcats jumped to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first.   Luke Fox singled to lead off the game, then moved to second on a Chris Winkler groundout.  After Ben Webb walked and Greg Martin was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Bobby Swartwout plated Fox with a groundout, but SVC was unable to add more runs.

SVC started Dave Culeton kept the hosts off the board until the bottom of the third, when the Bison scored on back-to-back doubles to tie the game.
 
Bethany added single runs in the sixth and eighth innings, taking a 3-1 lead into the 9th. 

With one out, Dylan Kugler hit a pinch-hit single up the middle.  An out later, TJ Kuny kept the game alive by drawing a walk.  Brennan Hoffer then hit a grounder to second, but a throwing error allowed Kugler to score and moved Kuny to third.  A passed ball then tied the game.
 
Culeton then yielded to Martin after tossing 8 innings and giving up just two runs. 
 
In the top of the 10th, Winkler led off with a single, then moved up two bases on a sacrifice by Webb and a groundout by Martin. That set the stage for Finn, who hit his first collegiate home run to make it a 5-3 game. 

Martin then shut down the Bison, striking out the side in the bottom of the 10th to pick up his second win of the season.  Saint Vincent is now 5-1 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference, 12-7 overall.  The Bearcats will host Thiel College on Wednesday (April 6) at Bearcat Ballfield in a 2PM doubleheader.
