Alton, Ill. – Sophomore outfielder Parker Violett (Maple Park, Ill./Kaneland) collected four RBI, two in each game, to help lead Saint Xavier University baseball (5-5/0-0 CCAC) to a doubleheader sweep of University of Health Sciences & Pharmacy in St. Louis (Mo.) Friday afternoon in Alton, Ill. Violett drove in two runs and junior infielder John Simecek (Twinsburg, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit) had three hits and three stolen bases to aid senior pitcher Trent Markezich (Mount Olive, Ill./Mount Olive), who threw a complete game in a 7-2 win in game one. Violett smacked a two-run double in a four-run first inning, and junior pitcher Cole Martz (Huntington, Ind./Kankakee/Huntington North) earned his first win as a Cougar in an 8-0 triumph in game two.

  • The Eutectics came back with two runs in the bottom of the 2nd on a pair of RBI doubles.
  • A wild pitch brough in run for Saint Xavier in the top of the 5th, and Violett belted a two-run single back up the middle in the top of the 7th before Markezich worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the 7th to lock up the win.
