Leathernecks Take on College World Series Runner-Up

Game one of the two-game set began Tuesday with an 8-0 decision for Arkansas.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Western Illinois baseball took on its stiffest competition yet in the 10th-ranked team in the nation. Game one of the two-day set at Arkansas began Tuesday (March 12), with the Leathernecks holding the Razorbacks to three hits through the first four innings, before falling, 8-0. 

Drue Galassi put an end to Arkansas' no-hitter with an infield single in the fifth inning, as his team trailed, 3-0, on the scoreboard, and the hit marked Western's lone of the game. 

Alex Dorethy was given the start and limited the home side to just three hits in his appearance (3.1 innings) with runs scored on an RBI-groundout in the first frame before Arkansas loaded the bases in the fourth. The team extended its edge to 3-0 on a walk and sacrifice fly, and Javin Drake was called to escape the inning. 

Western used two more pitchers on the day in Jordan Cheek and Chandler Fochs. The outing marked Fochs' second of the season, and he saw the most action on the mound, behind Dorethy, in 2.0 innings with two hits, one run, and a strikeout. 

Western continues its set Wednesday at 3 p.m.
