Saint Vincent baseball coach Janosko gets 400th win

Longtime Saint Vincent College baseball coach Mick Janosko reached another milestone Wednesday with his 400th victory.

Janosko, who began coaching the Bearcats in 1998, helped guide the team to a 6-1 victory over Geneva in Latrobe.

Junior pitcher Fred Gillespie tossed a three-hitter and senior Bobby Finn tripled and drove in three runs for the Bearcats (16-10, 9-5 PAC). Gillespie had five strikeouts and one walk.

Sophomore Joe Rudzinski went 2 for 2 with two RBIs.
