YSU NOTES| From Indianapolis

Streak snapped: Sophomore Andy Svitak had a run of 11 consecutive scoreless innings against Milwaukee end in a hurry on Saturday. After beating the Panthers 1-0 in a seven-inning contest on May 21 at Eastwood Field, Svitak opened the first four frames of Saturday's game without allowing a run. But he could not get out of the top of fifth inning allowing seven runs -- all earned.
Career ends: Senior Jim Phillips concluded his career during the loss to UWM on Saturday. Phillips had played in every Horizon League postseason game for the Penguins during his career. He played in both contests in 2002, three in 2003, four during the championship run of 2004 and all three at Victory Field this time around. However, Phillips is going to want to forget his final appearance in this Horizon League Tournament. Phillips, the lone active senior on the YSU roster, went 0-for-11 in his three games with a walk. It culminated a tough end of the season where he had just three hits in his final 32 at bats. His walk came in the bottom of the ninth on Saturday against Milwaukee.
Record set, tied: With his appearance in the top of the seventh inning, junior right-hander Kevin Libeg broke the school record for games pitched in a season. Libeg pitched in his 26th contest of the year breaking the school mark of 25 that was originally set by Matt Nurczyk in 1990. In the ninth, freshman Ryan Sellman made an appearance in his 26th game of the year to tie Libeg.
One to repeat: Because of the Penguins' loss, Milwaukee remains the only team in the past 11 tournaments to repeat as champions. The Panthers won the event in 2001 and 2002 and since 1995 no other team has been able to repeat.
Lower seed advances: The victory over YSU by UW-Milwaukee marked the first time in the entire tournament that a lower seed knocked off a team seeded in front of them. Through the first eight games, all the higher seeds had won until the Panthers upset the Penguins.
Not returning: Junior left-handed pitcher Justin Thomas will likely be the only other Penguin who will not be back next. Thomas, a native of Oregon, Ohio, has a good shot to be selected high in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft on June 7-8. In his three seasons, Thomas went 19-13 and started 37 games while appearing in 44 contests. He pitched in 2531/3 innings while striking out 250. He ended up one strikeout behind Dave Dravecky on the YSU career list and his innings total was just two-thirds of an inning behind Scott Hitchcock for second all time.
