Juran Hits First Career Home Run in Series Opener

Adam Juran hit his first career home run in the series opener at Omaha.

OMAHA - Adam Juran hit his first career home run for Western Illinois (9-21, 5-12) as the Omaha Mavericks (16-16, 8-5) took the series opener 11-1 on Friday (April 30) night. 

A pair of walks and hit by pitches in the first gave Omaha a 1-0 lead. The Mavs added to the lead with a two-out three-run homer in the fourth and a two-run single in the fifth to go ahead 6-0.

WIU got on the board with a leadoff home run from Juran in the sixth. He launched the first pitch he saw for his first career home run as he is the second Leatherneck to achieve the mark this season, joining Toby Allred and Chase VanDerGinst.

In the bottom half, Omaha responded and opened up the game with a four-run sixth and walked it off on a balk an inning later. 

The series continues tomorrow (May 1) at 6 p.m.
