Amherst’s Ryan Rua and the Hamilton Joes, in just their second year, captured the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League’s Championship on Saturday.

The Joes swept the best-of-three championship series against the regular-season champion Licking County Settlers, capping a 29-15 season record with their 7-5 win at Denison University.

Kyle Weldon, Kevin Park and Chris Pearson all had two hits and an RBI for the Joes, who turned three double plays. Park launched his only home run of the season, Curtin, Rua and Phil Bauer plated a run apiece, and Gerbus stole four bases.
