    WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – The West Liberty University baseball team couldn't get the bats going on Monday as Seton Hill slugged its way to a sweep of a non-conference doubleheader at Kovalick Field.
    Coach Eric Burkle's Hilltoppers (14-21) saw the visiting Griffins (20-17) mount a late rally for a 9-3 win in the opener before coasting to a 13-1 nod in the finale.
    In the first game, Seton Hill broke up a 3-3 deadlock with a 6-run uprising in the top of the seventh to win going away.
    Nick Bakaitis and Tyler Cooley each singled and drove in a run for the Hilltoppers while Hunter Westlake added a double.
    Seton Hill opened the nightcap with four runs in the top of the first, added three more in the third and put the game out of reach with a six-run inning in the sixth.
    Four Griffin pitchers held WLU to just three hits. Coby Eckstein ruined SHU's shutout bid with an RBI single in the third and Ethan Estes doubled in a losing cause.
    The Black and Gold head to Washington, Pa. on Wednesday for a scheduled 9-inning game against California (Pa.). First pitch is set for 7:30 p.m. at Wild Things Park.
