WIU Falls At Home To Lindenwood

MACOMB, Ill- Western Illinois fell to Lindenwood in game two of a three game series by a final score of 4-1 on Saturday afternoon. The Leathernecks collected five hits in the loss and struck out eight times as Lindenwood's starting pitcher would throw 7.2 scoreless innings to limit WIU's offense. 

Lindenwood would jump on the board early in the top of the first plating three runs. Starting pitcher Frederick Romano would settle down after the top of the first, retiring the next 12 batters to keep WIU in the game through five innings. Karsten Stotlar would then replace Romano with one out in the top of the sixth inning, pitching the next 2.2 innings allowing only one run on two hits. Lindenwood would add on to their lead in the top of the eighth to make it a 4-0 game heading into the bottom of the eighth. 

The Leathernecks would get on the board in the bottom of the eighth when Chris Hege would get a two-out single through the right side and would come around to score on an RBI single from Liam Bushey to make it a 4-1 game. Eric Rawlings would get the ball in the ninth, pitching one scoreless inning and allowing two hits. 

Five different Leathernecks would collect a hit with the only extra base hit coming on a Matt Olive ground rule double to left center. WIU will look to avoid the sweep tomorrow afternoon as the final game of the series will be tomorrow at 1 p.m.
