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.
