Leathernecks Drop Series at SIU

CARBONDALE, Ill. –  Western Illinois' baseball team concluded its series at Southern Illinois Saturday (March 2) in a 16-1 setback.

Hits were at a premium inside Itchy Jones Stadium where the Salukis held a narrow 4-2 edge in the category through five innings, but a 6-0 lead on the scoreboard. Bailey Montgomery sent in Western's lone run in the sixth inning with a single to left field before the Salukis scored 10 runs in the eighth to cement the final score. 

Justin Foy started for the Leathernecks on the bump and went 3.2 innings for five runs (four earned) on three hits. 

Western's annual Spring Break trip will see it take on Saint Louis (March 8-10) before a two-game matchup with Arkansas (March 12-13), the 2018 College World Series runner-up.
