Westminster splits at Heidelberg

TIFFIN, Ohio--After suffering a 3-1 game one loss at Heidelberg College Friday, Westminster College bounced back with a 3-1 victory in game two to split the set at Peaceful Valley.

Westminster snapped a five-game losing streak with Friday's game two win, improving to 5-7 overall. Heidelberg is currently 5-8. 

Game 1
Freshman right-hander Nicholas Parrotto (Mars, Pa., Seneca Valley) was a hard-luck loser in his first collegiate start, allowing one run (earned) on four hits with three walks and a strikeout in 4.0 innings. 

Sophomore third baseman Parker Lyons (Rochester, Pa., Rochester) was 2-for-5 while graduate first baseman Chase Tomko (Hermitage, Pa., West Middlesex) was 2-for-4 with a double. Senior left fielder David Kelly (Gibsonia, Pa., Eden Christian Academy) reached base twice, drawing a two-out walk in the third and singling in the fifth. 

Sam Schneider, Heidelberg's leadoff man, singled in the second and scored Kyle Krummen, who drew a two-out walk and stole second to get into scoring position. In the fifth, after his two-out single and advancing to second on an error, Kelly scored on another Student Princes' error a batter later to tie the game 1-1. Andrew Pokley's RBI single in the bottom of the frame scored Schneider and gave Heidelberg a 2-1 lead. Garrett LaBeau led off the seventh with a home run to close out the scoring. It was his first of the year. 

Corey Brafford evened his record at 2-2 with win. He allowed one run (unearned) on five hits with two walks and five strikeouts in 6.0 innings. Payton Moser secured the three-inning save, allowing one hit and three walks while striking out a pair. Schneider was 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored, a walk and a stolen base. Pokley was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk. 

Game 2
Sophomore right-hander Tyson Djakovich (Hermitage, Pa., Hickory) ripped off his third-straight win this season, allowing one run (earned) on four hits with a career-high eight strikeouts in 6.0 innings. Friday's start was his first without issuing a walk. Graduate right-hander Kolton Banfi (Harrisville, Pa., Franklin) earned the three-inning save in game two, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out a pair. It was his fourth career save. 

Westminster's nine starters each had a game two hit. 

Scoreless after four, Westminster's first four batters had base hits in the fifth. Freshman shortstop Thomas Rook (Clarence Center, N.Y., Clarence) delivered a one-out, run-scoring single that scored Tomko, who reached earlier on a bunt base hit. Senior centerfielder Derek Beach (Titusville, Pa., Titusville) had an RBI single in the sixth, scoring Lyons after his leadoff single. Up 2-1, fifth-year leftfielder Nico Hall (Aliquippa, Pa., Central Valley) smacked a solo home run in the seventh. It was his first as a Titan. 

Kelly went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks. Lyons has reached base safely in eight-straight games. 

Dylan Matusak suffered the loss for Heidelberg, allowing three runs (3 earned) on nine hits with a walk and seven strikeouts in 7.0 innings. Tyler Verdin allowed a walk and struck out three in 2.0 innings. Thomas McGuire was 3-for-4.
