infielder Trey Cobb had three hits apiece to lead the Gulls at Wesley.
Vitale finished with three RBIs in the game, while Cobb finished with two

seven games. Junior RHP Greg Lasinski allowed two runs and five
hits in seven innings against Wesley and improved to 2-0 on the year with the
victory. Sophomore RHP Eric Bush closed the game with two innings of
no-hit work while making his second appearance of the season. The Sea Gull pitching staff brings a combined 2.37 earned

has assumed the team lead with a .385 average. Senior DH Rob Kassekert is
second on the squad with a .379 average, and leads the Gulls with four doubles,
six RBI, and 15 total bases. Four other players - Vitale, Trey Cobb, BJ
Kittle and Jason Lively - sport averages of .300 or better entering
the Tri-State Tournament. The Sea Gulls have a team batting average of .300
(66-for-220). Pegelow, Kassekert and sophomore 2B Greg Lemon are
