Leathernecks Fall To Lindenwood at Home

MACOMB, Ill- Leatherneck baseball fell to Lindenwood by a score of 8-1 at home in the opener of a three game series. Max Tripure got the start on the mound this afternoon, going six innings and allowing only one earned run (3 total runs) on two hits to record a quality start. Despite the quality start, the Leatherneck offense would only put together one run on seven hits.

WIU's first hit wouldn't come until the bottom of the fourth, when Krayton Morse would single to left center to lead off the inning. Despite the lead off single, the Leathernecks were unable to score. The first runs of the game wouldn't come until the top of the sixth, when the Lions would score three runs. Two of their runs would come on a passed ball and error. Lindenwood would add on to their lead scoring two runs in the seventh and one run in the eighth to make it a 6-0 game. 

The first run for the Leathernecks would come in the bottom of the eighth inning when Krayton Morse would get a one-out triple and came around to score on an RBI single from Paul Osting. Morse would lead the offense this afternoon going 2-3 with a single and a triple. 

Game two of the series will be tomorrow afternoon with first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.
