The Bearcats pounded out 20 hits in a 16-3 victory over Westminster College on the road. The Titans scored first, tallying a run in the bottom of the second inning, but it would be their only earned run of the day off Bearcat starter Chris Zampogna, who went the distance to earn his second straight win. Saint Vincent answered back in the top of the third, with singles from Mike Hustava and Mike Christensen providing the RBIs. In the fourth inning, SVC scored eight more runs on six hits, with Danny Jackson driving home two with a bases loaded single. Two batters later, Hustava drove home two more with a double and the Bearcats continued to pile up runs. Later in the game, Hustava crushed a three-run home run, completing a 6-RBI day for the freshman, as he went three-for-four with three runs scored. Kenny Primeaux and Shouey each had three hits as well. Jackson was 2-for-5 with three RBI, while Jeremy Rodgers was 2-5 with four runs scored. Christiansen and Mike Adams each went 2-4 on the day. Zampogna worked the full 9 innings, yielding 17 hits but holding the Titans to just a single earned run while walking one and striking out one. With the win, Saint Vincent is now 8-28 on the year. The team will travel to Beaver Falls to take on Geneva College on Tuesday afternoon.
