Franciscan 7, Thiel 0

Steubenville, Ohio - The Barons took another step towards clinching a spot in the PAC Championship Tournament with a sweep of the Tomcats on Wednesday night at home.

Doubles
     Aaron Heinlein and Christopher Yvars won 6-1 at #1, and Aidan Palladino and David Bourdelais won 6-0 at #2. Joel Capelli and David Drejza registered a walkover win at #3, as the Tomcats did not have a #3 pairing.

Singles
    The Barons swept singles play as well. Heinlein, Yvars, Bourdelais, and Palladino earned their second wins of the day in #1-#4. Jeremiah Greve won at #5 singles, and David Drejza won in straight sets at #6. 

    The Barons are now one of five teams in the PAC with four conference wins. One more conference win will officially lock up a playoff spot, as the #1 and #2 seeds earn byes into the semifinals and the #3 and #4 seeds host quarterfinal matchups.

Next Up
    Franciscan remains at home to take on Waynesburg at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Barons are 4-0 all-time against the Yellow Jackets and hope to climb to 5-0 with a win on Friday.
