YSU's Brumit, Ohalek Combine to Stymie Vikes 7-0, 7-1
    Niles, Ohio -- Youngstown State senior pitcher Matt Brumit and junior lefty Corey Ohalek each tossed impressive seven-inning complete games on Saturday as the Penguins swept a doubleheader from Cleveland State, 7-0 and 7-1 at Cafaro Field.
    In game one, Brumit tossed a one-hit gem and retired the final 20 batters of the game after allowing a one-out single in the first inning to CSU's Doug Besozzi. In game two, YSU (11-15 overall and 5-3 in the Horizon League) scored five runs in the first and Ohalek struck out six batters and scattered six hits while allowing just one run in seven innings.
    Brumit used 90 pitches for his first complete game of the year and his second league win of the week after pitching four innings in a win against Detroit on Wednesday. Ohalek had his first official complete game -- he tossed a 10-inning complete game against UIC in a game that is still under protest on April 6 -- throwing 83 pitchers. YSU will look to Jonathan Smart on Sunday when the Penguins and Vikings (8-21 and 3-3) complete their four-game series at 1 p.m. at Cafaro Field.
    While Brumit, who struck out seven en route to facing one batter over the minimum, kept the Vikings hitters at bay, YSU scored two runs in the first taking advantage of three Cleveland State errors. Leading 3-0 in the fourth, YSU scored four runs in the inning highlighted by Tim Stacey's team-high fourth home run of the year. Stacey drilled a Matt Kaltenbach 2-0 pitch over the batting cage beyond left field. The Penguins added another run when reliever Luke Smrdel hit Clint Ford with the bases loaded.
    In game two, YSU jumped on CSU's Brian Beaumier early for five runs in the first inning. Ty Furino and Kendall Schlabach opened the inning with singles and a walk by Adam Cox loaded the bases. Jim Lipinski picked up an RBI forcing Furino home after he was hit by a pitch. Jim Phillips followed with a two-run double and Ford had an RBI with a one-out single. James Swearengen added a sacrifice fly to put YSU in front 5-0 after one inning.
    YSU added two runs in the bottom of the fifth when Lipinski doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Matt Speas. Phillips, who singled following Lipinski's double scored on an error by Tom Allen.
    Cleveland State's only run of the day came in the top of the sixth. Keith McLeod singled with one out and after Ohalek retired Ernest Simpson on a fly out, Dominic Erney hit a fly ball to right that Kyle Penrod had for a moment before the ground knocked the ball out of his glove and Schlabach had apparently caught the ball on the carom. However, it was ruled the ball hit the ground and Erney's double scored McLeod for the lone CSU run of the afternoon.
