Westminster sweeps Fredonia State

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster College baseball team earned a non-conference doubleheader sweep Wednesday afternoon over Fredonia State. The Titans picked up a 14-8 win in game one before holding on for a 5-4 win in game two. 

In the opener, Westminster (2-1) took a 5-2 lead in the bottom of the third inning on a bases-clearing triple by junior left fielder Matthew Randza (Beaver Falls, Pa. | Blackhawk). The Titans broke an 8-8 tie with a six-run sixth inning after batting around in the frame. 

Five Westminster players had multi-hit games in the opener. Randza finished 2-for-4 with a triple, four RBIs and a pair of runs scored. Junior first baseman Carter Chinn (Grove City, Pa. | Grove City) went 2-for-3 with two walks, three RBIs and a run scored. He also stole a base. Graduate student right fielder Seth Schrader (Fredonia, N.Y. | Fredonia) went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base. Junior second baseman Donald Shimko (Greensburg, Pa. | Greater Latrobe) finished 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and run scored while junior third baseman Braeden Campbell (Glenshaw, Pa. | Shaler) went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored. 

Senior right-hander Hunter Stellato (Struthers, Ohio | Struthers) earned the win in relief, throwing 1.1 scoreless innings. He struck out one batter in the seventh inning.

Westminster jumped out to a 4-0 game two lead, scoring three runs in the fourth inning. Chinn's triple scored junior shortstop Logan Murgenovich (Aliquippa, Pa. | Central Valley) before Randza smacked a run-scoring double that plated Chinn. Sophomore catcher Marco Gambino (Pittsburgh, Pa. | Thomas Jefferson) delivered a sacrifice fly that scored junior designed hitter Jake Dockum (Fairport, N.Y. | Allendale Columbia).

Fredonia State scratched out a pair of runs in the top of the sixth to cut Westminster's lead to 4-2. The Blue Devils scored two more runs in the seventh, but junior right-hander Phillip Keller (Coraopolis, Pa. | Montour) ended the game with a strikeout. 

Randza went 1-for-2 with a double, sacrifice fly and two RBIs. Chinn finished 2-for-3 with a triple, an RBI and two runs scored while Mergenovich went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored. 

Junior left-hander Logan Exler (Verona, Pa. | Serra Catholic) picked up the win after throwing 5.0 scoreless innings in his first start of the season. He allowed four hits, walked one and struck out four. Keller secured the save. 

Westminster will host Juniata College Sunday. The doubleheader is scheduled to get underway at 1 p.m.
