PARSONS, Kan. – The McCook Community College baseball team swept a pair of games Sunday over Labette Community College 18-3 and 11-1

MCC scored in every inning in Game 1 and pounded out 13 hits in five innings. MCC's offense was led by home runs from freshmen Michael Quick (Oshawa, Ontario), Zeke Minic (Thornton, Colo.), and Jason Serafinchon (Spruce Grove, Alberta).

"We played pretty well offensively and really got it going both games and with two really good performances on the mound," said Olsen.

Sophomore Mikey Acierno (sophomore, Thornton, Colo.) picked up a complete game win in the first game and freshman Myles Chabi (Sydney, Australia) pitched a one-hit complete game over five innings in Game 2.

MCC goes to 4-5 on the season with five games on tap this week starting Monday at noon with the final game of the three-game series with Labette. On Wednesday MCC travels to Garden City for a 2 p.m. game.
