Penguins Shut Out Twice in Doubleheader Sweep at Butler
    Indianapolis, Ind. -- The Youngstown State baseball team failed to score a run against Butler on Sunday afternoon as the Bulldogs swept a doubleheader from the Penguins by identical 2-0 scores at Bulldog Park.
    Youngstown State (12-19 overall and 6-6 in the Horizon League) had just six hits in 14 innings against Butler (25-17 and 7-8) starters Aaron Phillips and John Corcoran. The Penguins had strong pitching performances from senior Matt Brumit and Corey Ohalek, but could not capitalize.
    In game one, the Penguins managed just two hits against Phillips (5-4). Jim Lipinski had a single in the second inning and Kendall Schlabach singled in the fourth for YSU's two hits. Against Brumit, who pitched his second consecutive complete game, the Bulldogs scored a run in the first and a run in the third. Brumit (2-4) allowed just seven hits and one earned run while walking two and striking out five.
    In game two, the scenario was similar to the first game with YSU picking up just four hits off Corcoran (10-1), who tied the school record for victories in a season with the win. Schlabach, Kyle Penrod, Matt Speas and James Swearengen had singles for the Guins. The Bulldogs scored once in the first and added another run in the fifth for the 2-0 seven-inning victory.
    The Penguins begin a busy week on Monday night when they play host to Akron at Cafaro Field at 7. YSU plays host to Kent State on Tuesday night before traveling to Ohio State on Wednesday and plays league-foe Wright State next weekend.
