Case Western Reserve University graduate student first baseman Dane Camphausen and senior designated hitter Zack Carinci each homered as the Spartans rolled to a 10-6 win over Grove City College at Nobby's Ballpark in Cleveland on Tuesday afternoon.

It was the second straight win for the Spartans and their fourth in the last five games, as CWRU improved to 10-5 for the season. Grove City fell to 8-7 with the loss.

The Spartans got on the board in the second inning on a one-out solo home run by Camphausen, his team-leading fourth of the season. With two outs in the inning, first-year second baseman Tyler Stillson doubled off the wall in left field and Carinci followed with a single to extend the Spartans' lead to 2-0. After Grove City scored a run in the top of the third, the Spartans sent nine batters to the plate in the bottom of the frame, scoring four runs, including one on a sacrifice fly from Stillson and two on a two-out home run by Carinci, putting the team ahead 6-1 heading into the fourth.

Grove City added a run in the top of the sixth to get back within four runs, but CWRU responded with two more in the bottom of the inning on an RBI double by graduate student third baseman James Powers and a run-scoring groundout from Camphausen to put the team ahead 8-2. The Wolverines hung tight, scoring a pair in the seventh and two more in the eighth to cut the Spartans' lead back to two, 8-6. However, CWRU scored in the bottom of the eighth on an RBI triple from Powers, who later scored a run of his own on a wild pitch, taking a 10-6 lead into the ninth. Senior Tyler Horvath pitched a scoreless ninth to secure the win for the Spartans.

Carinci finished the game two-for-three with the home run, three RBIs, and a run scored. Powers added a two-for-four day at the plate with a double, a triple, two RBIs, and three runs, raising his batting average to .348. Camphausen was two-for-five with the home run and two RBIs. The Spartans finished the game with 10 hits and stole a season-high eight bases.

Junior Jackson Brewer allowed one run on three hits in three innings of work out of the bullpen to earn the win and improve to 3-0 on the year. Grove City starter Nick Guidas took the loss, falling to 1-3 for the campaign.

The Spartans will continue their five-game home stand this weekend with a four-game series against the University of Chicago at Nobby's Ballpark. The two teams will open the series with a doubleheader on Saturday, March 23 starting at noon.
