Case Western Reserve University freshman Nick Denove pitched six shutout innings, and senior third baseman Jacob Kucia recorded his second five-hit effort in the last five games, as the Spartans rolled to a 12-2 win over Western New England University in their penultimate game at the Spartan Southern Classic in Lexington, South Carolina on Saturday.
The win raised the Spartans' record to 7-6 overall, including a 5-3 mark over Spring Break, while Western New England dropped to 2-2 with the loss.
Denove allowed just four hits over his six innings of work, striking out six batters and failing to walk a hitter.
