Missouri Natives Shine in SIUE Setback

The SIUE matchup marked a homecoming for CJ Schaeffer Jr. and Justin Fitzpatrick, and the two scored all three runs.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – The Western Illinois baseball team took a trip to SIUE Tuesday (April 16) where it dropped the non-league matchup, 13-3, in seven innings. 

Each side doubled for their first hit of the game – the Cougars in the first inning and Western in the second – and both hitters scored. The game marked sort of a homecoming for Missouri natives CJ Schaeffer Jr. and Justin Fitzpatrick, and they starred the Leatherneck offense for all three runs. The former finished the evening with a pair of doubles and his team's first two scores before Fitzpatrick's second career home run capped the game's scoring in the sixth inning. 

Things sat knotted at 1-all until back-to-back, big run innings in the third and fourth padded the Cougar advantage to 13-1. 

Western is off to Brookings, S.D., for its next series – a three-game set at South Dakota State. Game one is scheduled to start Friday at 3 p.m.
