Titans lose to Heidelberg

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster College baseball team suffered an 8-1 loss to visiting Heidelberg University Wednesday afternoon. 

Heidelberg pushed its record to 9-4 while Westminster fell to 4-6. 

Dylan Matusak picked up his first victory of the season for Heidelberg, allowing one run (1 earned) on four hits with a walk and five strikeouts in five innings. Senior catcher Chase Tomko's (Hermitage, Pa., West Middlesex) run-scoring hit by pitch with one out in the sixth was the lone run surrendered by Matusak. 

Junior lefty Jake Vitale (New Castle, Pa., Union) fell to 0-2 after giving up six runs (4 earned) on seven hits with a walk and four strikeouts in five innings. Freshman right-hander Nick Magnifico (Ellwood City, Pa., Lincoln) and junior righty Dwight Parker (Youngstown, Ohio, Liberty) combined to throw 1.2 innings of hitless relief. 

Andrew Cook went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs. Braedy Limke went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple and two runs scored. Reese McNeely finished 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two stolen bases. Camden Farley delivered a two-run single in the fifth. He had an RBI groundout in the first. Kyle Mottice went 1-for-4 with a pair of RBIs. 

Senior third baseman Donald Shimko (Greensburg, Pa., Greater Latrobe) finished 2-for-4. Sophomore left fielder Thomas Vo (Valparaiso, Ind., Valparaiso) hit a double to right field in the third while junior shortstop Braeden Campbell (Glenshaw, Pa., Shaler) doubled to left to lead off the fourth. 

Up 1-0 after Farley's run-scoring groundout in the first, Heidelberg sent nine men to the plate in the five-run fifth. Shimko singled in the seventh and ninth for the Titans' lone hits over the final three frames.  

Westminster hosts Oberlin College Saturday. The first pitch of the doubleheader is scheduled for 12 p.m.
