Western Illinois Shuts Out Lindenwood Behind Solid Pitching Efforts

MACOMB, Ill- On a day where Western Illinois Baseball needed a win to stay in the conference tournament race, the Leatherneck pitching staff delivered in a big way. Jorge Romero threw seven scoreless innings, recording his second quality start of the season, allowing only two hits and collecting 4 K's. Following Romero's performance, Jason Buhl and Billy Humphrey would slam the door on the Lion offense. Buhl would get the ball in the eighth inning, striking out the first two batters he faced. In the ninth inning, Humphrey would pick up his first career save at WIU, giving up a lead-off hit before retiring the next three batters to help secure the 1-0 win. 

The lone run of the game came in the bottom of the seventh inning on a Cordell Coburn two-out RBI double to left field allowing Tyler Large to score, who led off the seventh inning getting hit by a pitch. The offense was led this afternoon by Paul Osting, who collected a team-high two hits in the win. Defensively, WIU committed no errors playing an all-around great game.

The Leathernecks will now stay in the state of Illinois for the rest of the season. They will return to action on Wednesday hosting the Bradley Braves, before traveling to SIUE for a three-game series starting on Friday. First pitch on Wednesday is scheduled for 3 p.m at Alfred D. Boyer Stadium.
