Senior Bobby Finn is the new home run king at Saint Vincent.

Finn blasted his record-breaking 19th career homer Saturday, then added another in the second game of a doubleheader, as the Bearcats (14-9, 7-4) swept host Geneva, 8-4 and 9-0.

Finn moved past TJ Conroy, the son of former major leaguer Tim Conroy, who had held the school record with 18 homers since 2006.

Freshman pitcher Casey Jones also found his way into the record books as he struck out 13 in Game 2, tying the program mark for Ks in a seven-inning game.

Finn, a Peters Township product, also tied the single-season mark for homers with his 10th. Earlier this season, he tied another program record with three home runs in a game against Chatham.

Jones, of South Side Beaver, is 6-0 this season. He tied Max Henry’s strikeout mark from 2011.
