GOSHEN, Ind. — Colby Malson and Travis Grimm each etched their names in the Goshen College baseball record books Friday as the Maple Leafs swept a doubleheader from Grace College by 3-2 and 7-2 margins at Sarge Yoder Field.

Malson set a program record with his eighth career save in the opener while Grimm worked 5 2/3 innings in the nightcap for his 12th career win, pulling into a four-way tie for the final spot in the all-time top 10. The senior also recorded his 100th career strikeout.

Goshen (12-16, 4-6 Crossroads League) needed all of three batters to get on the scoreboard in the opener as Clinton Stroble followed Brad Stoltzfus's leadoff double with a two-bagger of his own. Stroble would yield his spot on the bases to courtesy runner Bobby Garcia, who moved to third base on a Ryan Hartig bunt single before Malson doubled the lead with a sacrifice-fly line drive to right.

Braedon Evans held Grace (1-21, 1-7) without a hit from the second inning through the fourth as his comrades increased their lead in the third inning, stringing together singles from Hartig, Malson and Kody McGuire.

Austin Baker's two-run, two-out single put the tying run on base for the Lancers in the fifth, but Evans retired Gabe Douglass on a fly ball to left to end the inning. That batter would be Evans' last in a 93-pitch outing three days after coming out of the bullpen at Mount Vernon Nazarene: the sophomore finished with four hits and one walk allowed against eight strikeouts.

Malson came out of the bullpen to start the sixth inning and stranded men on base in both frames he worked: a one-out walk to Hunter Ackerman in the sixth was followed by a popout and a groundout. Ethan Brooks led off the seventh with another free pass: after stealing second, he was retired on a fielder's choice off the bat of Cameron Maxwell. Two batters later, Baker doubled down the left-field line to put the go-ahead run in scoring position before the chance for a rally died in Hartig's glove with a fly ball to shallow left.

Hartig, Baker and Grace's Houston Haney each recorded a pair of hits while Kody McGuire augmented a single with two bases on balls. Scottie Clark took the loss for the Lancers while Kyle Brunner threw two hitless innings of relief.

A five-run second inning for the Maple Leafs broke the second game open early: with the bases loaded and one away, Brighton Schofield opened the scoring with a bouncing ball to third. The throw to the plate was off line, allowing Malson to score; coupled with a strikeout one batter later, the throwing error made all five runs in the inning unearned. Brad Stoltzfus delivered the dagger with a bases-clearing double to put Goshen up 4-0 before Ben Longacre singled to cap off the scoring.

Grace put its first two runners on base in the third, getting a single run two batters later on a Baker hit before Grimm, who entered the week allowing foes to hit .207, held the guests to a 2-for-10 mark into the sixth. The Lancers left the bases loaded in the third and stranded at least a pair in five straight innings from the second to the sixth.

Kyle Kotecki replaced Grimm with two outs in the sixth, striking out Baker to end the inning before setting the side down in three batters one inning later. Grace would add a run in the eighth on a David Anderson double followed by a single off the bat of Maxwell, leaving the tying run at the plate after a strikeout and a flyout: the ninth inning was the first time since the first inning that the Lancers went down in order.

Longacre drew a leadoff walk in the bottom of the eighth; two pitches later, Stroble went yard the opposite way over the 398 sign in right-center to set the final score. The dinger was his 13th in two-plus seasons, moving him into a tie for ninth in program history with 2010 graduate Kraig Miller.

Kotecki earned his first save of the season with a 51-pitch, two-hit outing: Aaron Voirol found himself on the wrong end of the pitching decision after allowing eight hits without a walk in seven innings.

Maxwell paced Grace with three hits, beating out two each from Douglass and Anderson although both of the latter hitters' lines included doubles. Stoltzfus, Longacre and McCoy each reached twice for the Leafs.

The Maple Leafs and Lancers were slated to conclude their series on Saturday, but the combination of rain and wind in the weather forecast has precipitated a change in the schedule: the teams will now meet on Wednesday, April 4. Goshen now returns to the field Monday at Mount Vernon Nazarene with first pitch at 2 p.m.
