Leathernecks Fall In Game Two At Eastern Illinois

CHARLESTON, Ill- WIU Baseball fell in the second game to Eastern Illinois on Friday afternoon by a score of 10-2. EIU put up five runs in the bottom of the first inning and the Leathernecks were never able to recover from that deficit. Western committed two errors in the contest which led to three unearned runs for the Panthers.

WIU finished the game with six hits coming off the bats of Krayton Morse, Brock Lummus, Kyree Alexander, and Wandel Campana. The first run of the game for the Leathernecks would come in the top of the third when Alexander and Campana would record back-to-back hits before Liam Bushey would hit a SAC fly to center field to score Alexander. 

Similar to yesterday's game, Western Illinois would threaten in the top of the eighth inning by loading the bases with one out. Paul Osting drew a one-out walk to make it a 10-2 game, but that would be all WIU would get as the next two WIU batters would strike out and ground out to end the inning.

The final game of the series and regular season will be tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m.
