No. 2 Grove City scores 4-0 win

WASHINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster College baseball team suffered a 4-0 loss to Grove City College in the opening round of the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championship Tournament Wednesday afternoon. 

The league's six-team, double-elimination championship is being held Wednesday-Saturday at Washington & Jefferson College's Ross Memorial Park in North Franklin Township, Pa. W&J is the tournament's No. 1 seed. 

Grove City, the tournament's No. 2 seed, improved to 25-12 this season. Westminster, the No. 5 seed, fell to 18-21. Grove City will face the winner of No. 3 Waynesburg University and No. 4 Allegheny College Thursday at 6 p.m. Westminster will meet No. 6 Thiel College in the tournament's first elimination game Thursday at 11 a.m.

Westminster managed just three hits in the loss. Senior third baseman Donald Shimko (Greensburg, Pa., Greater Latrobe) was 1-for-1 with a pair of walks. Junior left fielder Chris Davis (San Francisco, Calif., Stuart Hall) went 1-for-3 while fifth-year right fielder Carter Chinn (Grove City, Pa., Grove City) finished 1-for-4. 

Senior righty Kolton Banfi (Harrisville, Pa., Franklin) fell to 4-5 this season with the loss. He gave up four runs (3 earned) on 12 hits with no walks and two strikeouts in 6.2 innings. Sophomore left-hander Josh Reed (Beaver Falls, Pa., Blackhawk) retired the final batter in the seventh while sophomore right-hander Tyler Parsons (Hebron, Ky., Conner) struck out three batters in the eighth.
