The Purple Raiders have now won three straight games and move to 7-2 overall, while Westminster falls to 3-8.

In the sixth, back to back RBI singles through the left side from senior Connor Nell (Powell/Olentangy) and junior Britt Williams (Massillon/Massillon Jackson) broke the game open and Nell would later score on a wild pitch to make it 4-1.

Westminster would tack a run in the seventh but Sabatino slammed the door shut there for the win.

In the second game, Westminster scored a run in the first and two in the second before Mount Union tied the game with three in the second.  The Titans seemed to blow the game wide open with a five-run fourth to take an 8-3 lead, but again the Raiders would rally this time with a five-spot of their own in the bottom half of the frame to tie the game at eight.

Again, Westminster would take the lead with a run in the fifth, but also again Mount Union would match them then put a two more on the board in the sixth for the 11-9 win.
