Close Score in Season-Opener

Western Illinois baseball opened its 2022 season in a 6-4 setback.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. | Jack Carberry and Brian Raymond split time on the mound -- four innings each -- in the Western Illinois baseball team's 6-4 season-opener at Western Kentucky. The former was credited with the loss on 86 pitches, six strikeouts, and a pair of earned runs, while the offense saw six different Leathernecks record a hit. 

The three-game series continues Saturday at 1 p.m. 

Western Kentucky 6, Western Illinois 4

Eying a 2-1 count with Adam Juran hovering near third base, Chase VanderGinst notched Western's first hit of the 2022 season, as well as its first RBI. Each side brought in a pair of runs in the second inning, and WKU distanced itself with scores plated in the fourth, sixth, and seventh. 

Derek Botaleto cemented things at 6-4 with a 2-RBI double in the eighth.
