Grove City College junior pitcher Tate Ostrowski fired a perfect game Friday afternoon for the Grove City College baseball team, helping lead the Wolverines to a doubleheader sweep of visiting Bethany in Presidents' Athletic Conference action at Jack Behringer Field.
Ostrowski retired all 21 Bethany batters in the opener as Grove City won 8-0. The Wolverines then rallied for a 5-2 win in Game Two.
Ostrowski struck out 10 men over his seven innings on the mound. He struck out Bethany catcher Ryan Anselmino to end the game after falling behind in the count 3-1.
It is the first perfect game in modern Grove City baseball history, which dates to 1959. It is the first no-hitter for a Grove City pitcher since March 7, 2019, when current senior Lake Pry no-hit Penn State New Kensington in Lake Myrtle, Fla.
