In a wild, back-and-forth affair which saw five lead changes, 21 runs, 24 hits and nine errors, the fourth-seeded Grove City Wolverines completed their Cinderella run through the President Athletic Conference Tournament with an 11-10 decision over rival Thiel in the 2008 PAC title game. With the victory, Grove City captured its first PAC baseball crown since winning back-to-back league titles in 2001 and 2002, while also securing the PAC's first-ever automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Baseball Tournament.

Grove City led 4-0 in the middle of the fourth, only to see Thiel score three in the fourth and four more in the sixth for a 7-4 advantage. The two teams continuedto exchange the lead, with the Tomcats taking a 9-8 advantage after eight frames. The Wolverines would not be denied, scoring three times in the top of the ninth for an 11-9 lead, then withstanding a pair of errors in the bottom of the ninth to end the game with the potential game-tying run on third base for the Tomcats.

The winning pitcher for Grove City was Matt Tindall, after pitching the final inning. On offense, Brian Moran was 4-for-5 with a home run an six RBIs for the victors, while Butch Kriger was also 4-for-5 with a double. The Thiel offense was a balanced attack, as four players posted multi-hit games, led by David Nypaver, who went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs in the loss.
