W&J Wins 3rd Straight PAC Title

Three batters into the game, top-seeded Washington & Jefferson had a 2-0 lead and never looked back, rolling to a 10-2 win over #4 Westminster in the Presidents Athletic Conference baseball tournament championship game. Peter Kalinski’s two-run double was part of the W&J catcher’s 2-for-5, 3 RBI afternoon.  The Red & Black added single runs in the second and third innings, then blew it open with six markers over the final three frames including back-to-back home runs by Trevor Dean and Jacob LaDuca.  Jameson Campbell (10-1) picked up the win with six innings of work, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out seven. The Presidents have now won 14 conference titles, including the last three in a row and five of the last seven. W&J (35-8) earns the League’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament and is in line to possibly host one of 16 regional groupings. Those regional brackets are due to be announced Monday morning.
